Street Ministry at the Bases

Our Team at Eastleigh continues to go out daily to the bases - to teach Bible, to talk and make friends, to see what new kids have come to the streets, to do first aid, to help solve problems. Here is one of our Team members at Mutindwa Base.

Our whole Team who go to the streets at Eastleigh share the strength of "connectedness." That means they feel a moral need to be connected to people and they see the connections between people and events and can use those connections to be a blessing to people.

We have been through a StrengthsFinder assessment with Kelly Davidson, director of Aggies for Christ at Texas A&M University while some of the AFC students have led a camp for all our kids at Kamulu. What a great week for us all. It was exciting to see the strengths of other Team members in this assessment (which is from a business point of view). The assessment gives us the top 5 strengths -- out of 31 taking the assessment, 20 shared "Responsibility" as a top strength and 19 shared "Learner." That is not a great surprise considering we are working with street kids.

We are already beginning to make some changes in the way we do things as a result of the Strengths assessment. We feel blessed to have had this workshop.
