Made in the Streets was blessed with the building on 5th Street in Eastleigh Section 2 in 1999. During the past 10 years we have encouraged young people from the streets to attend other congregations in Eastleigh and Mathare Valley, but it has been difficult to get them involved, either because they feel uncomfortable or because they were not accepted. Finally we have opened a church in the Eastleigh Center; it has now met three Sundays. Attendance has been 67, 55 and 70, and six young men from the streets have been baptized. Jane Njeri, Evans Ouma, Moses Gicharu, Francis Cugia, Augustina Muli and Jane Abuti are the staff at the center. Augustina cooks and mothers, Jane teaches little kids, Francis is one of our former street kids from Kamulu, Evans is a World Bible School student who was baptized a few years back, Moses once lived on the streets but did not come through our program, and Jane Njeri is a grandmother who was in the Kamulu Church and began to volunteer in Eastleigh 3 years ago. A great team doing a great work, together with Larry and Hollye Conway.
