Just One More

A long time ago I heard a Tennessee preacher named Ira North talk about evangelism. He asked how many we should try to reach, and the answer was "just one more." And why that one? Because of the value of every life. He went on to say that he would swim the Cumberland River, he would climb Outlook Mountain to reach her, if that one more were his little daughter.

We have one more girl at Kamulu, a treasure from the streets. And she has come in time for the December Holidays -- that's a smart move on her part. Of course she doesn't know what a good time we have planned for the kids who live with us, to make them feel special, to give them new experiences!

Anastacia is 15. She seems glad to be at Kamulu. She speaks some English already and the other kids like her. She started out right away singing in chapel, and she is in the beginning literacy class for now. She also arrived in time to be in the class hearing the reading and retelling of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. We will have more info about her later. If there is someone who wants to sponsor her, she is available. So we have another one to call our own, and we will go to great lengths to find kids like Anastacia, like brave the Mathare River and climb Mt. Longonot.
