We are always in process at MITS-Kamulu. We have 5 new young men as of last week in the residence halls, and we have 15 young men and women in the Exit Program. There are 50 students in the literacy program and 41 in skills training and Exiting.
We always want these young people to be independent and capable of making their own decisions. So we leave them free to decide every day to stay at MITS. We want each one of them to be leaders to the degree they are capable.
So we have begun a new phase in our morning chapel. On Wednesdays and Fridays we now have a different format. Our Team meets with them on those days, but only for two songs. Then announcements are made and the Team exits to have their own development time led by Charles Coulston. The students are left in the chapel to do their own devotional. In the beginning we are having them sign up for song-leading, Scripture reading, prayer, sharing a message and a presentation (maybe a solo or a group song, or poetry, etc). Later we will have certain ones of them develop the whole devotional.
We are proud of these young people who have come out of the worst situation imaginable into a new life. The picture is of four of the newest street youth to come to Kamulu. Pray for them that they might take their place as leaders in this country.
