Hello Charles and Francis, I wanted to write and tell you that Cugia is doing a good job. He is eager to please and seems energetic. I have noticed a positive difference lately.
Today, we walked to Majengo slums to see a street boy who has been badly burned on his buttocks and genitals. I had a hard time understanding what happened but basically, he was high, someone was burning plastic, and the burning plastic fell on him. It is so sad, we are trying to help him with a visit to the clinic we use in Eastleigh.
We then walked to Kariokor to see some street kids we have seen several months before. My son Andrew, Cugia, Moses, Jane and I walked there. We had to tiptoe over and above a ditch full of muck, oil, sewage etc. to visit these boys. Moses knows some of them. While we were there two men from across the street came over and started yelling at us and telling us to leave. Someone pushed one of the street boys who lost his balance and bumped into Moses. They both fell down into the awful muck. I thought I would just tell you that Moses handled himself very well in a tough situation. Cugia thinks one of the guys who came over may be with a sort of youth mafia sect. Anyway, I felt so sorry for Moses, but fortunately, he didn't get injured and he didn't have his phone with him so basically his white shirt will probably not be wearable again but that was the worst that happened. I was so impressed with Moses and his attitude.
God bless, Larry
(nb: Cugia is one of our own who came from the Eastleigh streets. Now that he is 18 he has begun working the streets with our Team. It is great to hear he is doing well. Moses is a young man who volunteered at Eastleigh for more than 6 months and has recently joined our Team.)
The picture is of Andrew Conway sitting at the first meeting of the Eastleigh Center Church of Christ with Kelly, a young man who came forward and asked the church to pray for him to escape drug addiction.
