Street Moms Update from Mauryn

Subject: Mothers' Monday Programme on the 27th Sept 2010

The attendance was 15 mothers, and the class started at around 10 am with Jane Abuti. They sang choruses and we arrived at 10:30 am and started with games. We played three games of police case, my mother and Kabuti. We found three winners who were very excited and happy.

Sharing came from the book of Luke, a story about Zachaeus who was a tax collector and made many people sad, and his behaviors were not pleasing to God. His behavior is like us, but Jesus told him "today I'll go with you to your house and salvation has come to your house." Jesus is ready to save us with our family and give us a new life like Zachaeus who paid back four times to people he had taken things from them and also gave half of his wealth to poor people. When Jesus comes to our lives we will be completely changed for the better. Encouragement that there's no sin that Jesus cannot forgive and cleanse. We also read from Psalm 113 that God lifts poor people and also Jeremiah 17:5 not to put our trust in people but in God.

Then we ended with a word of prayer and served a hot meal - their favorite, ugali and beans. And their children had a cup of milk.

God is good.
