MILLIE OMONDI IN THE USA

Millie and Kehl (3 years)
Bari Henry has been an intern at Made in the Streets for a full year.  She and some friends - and her supporting church - arranged for Millie to visit the USA when Bari returned.  Millie and Bari are currently in Brentwood, Tennessee, and will be with the Otter Creek Church until Sunday evening. They will be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area from Sept 10 to 16 - mostly with women's group, including a Wednesday morning (the 12th) class at the Southlake Church, then a visit to the CEC (a ministry to poor families aged 50+), then at the Legacy Church on Wednesday evening.  On Saturday evening the 15th they will be with the Decatur Church, then spend Sunday morning with the Singing Oaks Church in Denton.  Sunday night they will be at Prestoncrest Church.  Monday the 10th they will be with a group of women from the South MacArthur Church in Irving.  On Sept 25 they will go to Malibu, California, and meet with the Malibu Church and the Conejo Church (in Thousand Oaks) during that week.  Millie is a great representative for Made in the Streets, and we are proud of her work.  She handles child care for the street moms at Kamulu, while the moms are in skills training.  Her son was born with hydroencephalus, so she and Jackton understand parental pain - but they count it all joy to have Kehl.  His shunt is working well; he now runs, kicks a soccer ball and knows all the songs!  Millie came from a very large family where her father had several wives, so she did not get family attention and affection.  Now she gets all that and more from Jackton, and they shower it on Kehl.  If you are near any of the places where she will be, you will enjoy getting to know her.  Blessings, charles
