Visitors at MITS

We said goodbye to visitors Matt and Nikki Wallace from the Denver area yesterday. Matt was with us in Nairobi 10 years ago with WorldWide Youth Camps (now YouthReach), and he brought a few pics with him this time. This one he took when here, and a couple of these young guys have been in our program.

Matt and Nikki work with Dry Bones Denver, which seeks out young people on the streets. They are now in Ethiopia working on the adoption of a baby boy named Kai.

Matt spoke one day to our Team for about 25 minutes and had an uplifting and encouraging message for them. He told them how being at MITS in 2000 changed his life. It was the inspiration for doing Dry Bones Denver. It led to their thinking of adopting an African baby. All through the years he has told Nikki about MITS, and she also wanted to come and see what meant so much to him.

So...thanks WWYC and its leaders, thanks to supporters of Matt and Nikki - he has returned the good that he received in his excellent message to our Team.
