June is a Good Month

So much has happened at Made in the Streets since our last report on May 22.  The Coulstons' family came to visit at the end of May.  What a great help they were.  Their daughter, along with another visitor, led a great seminar on "mediation."  There were applications both to mediation on the streets when conflicts arise with and among street youth and to our Team itself.  The reality is that we are not without conflict and disagreement and hurt feelings, and these seminars were very helpful in providing avenues to solve such problems.   And the grandchildren were helpful too - they read to and played with the babies of street girls, they shared songs and crafts and Bible stories with the students at MITS.  They also had a good time with our animals - chickens and goats and cows and bunnies -- along with chameleons.  And they got a chance to pluck bananas off a stalk, pick green beans and okra and tomatoes and cabbage.

We went to the Kenyan Coast near Malindi with the MITS Team -- thanks to those who provided extra funds for this -- where they enjoyed a holiday as a reward and were part of a seminar to strengthen the Team.  Aggies for Christ (from Texas A&M University) and the MITS Tour Group (mostly from Pepperdine University) stayed with our 82 students while the Team was on the trip, and the students behaved wonderfully for them!  More Soon......
Aggies for Christ with MITS students!
