The Streets are Alive


The streets are alive with the sounds of kindness, with words of comfort and encouragement, because Made in the Streets is there.  These kids sleep against a wall, or scrounge for edible throwaways, or seek entertainment where it can be found.  

Now and then they settle back and listen, and question, and comment, and the gracious and kind Word of God that stimulates all that is good within a person is heard, as Kennedy and Anthony and Larry and Joel
 and visitors from USA churches speak and listen and love.  And buy a meal for those who stay to take part in worship and learning.  

South MacArthur Church from Irving, Texas, sent a group of 15 for two weeks, and they went to the streets and expressed their love and solidarity with the kids there.  And it made a difference as young people listened and took new courage.  



Thanks, South Mac, and thanks, Team members who do this day after day.
