Serving Together

We have a wonderful network of relationships within the church.  Made in the Streets has a happy relationship with Nairobi Great Commission School.  David Tanui does a wonderful job of leadership at the school, and we are happy one of our former street kids is a student at the school.  We are also friends with Healing Hands International and look forward to developing a model farm together.  A d we are friends to the Kenya Widows and Orphans (KWO) program, which is sponsored and led by members of Golf Course Road Church in Midland, Texas. They also have an active World Bible School program.  Our own Mauryn Mbuvi (married to Francis Mbuvi, administrator of Made in the Streets) leads those programs in Kenya.  We are happy to be associated with these great ministries.  The following is a report from Francis Mbuvi about the most recent KWO visit to Kenya.

"The last KWO team of the summer was meant to come last Friday and head to Sondu for the last medical trip. It was a week after the July team had left, three of them had gone to Malindi at the coast to work with another missionary there. Just when all was going well, a fire broke out at Kenyatta international Airport at the arrivals terminal!!!  The fire was so bad that it caused many flights to be diverted to Mombasa and Eldoret (nb from Charles: this included a group from Healing Hands) as well as some being put on standby at Entebbe, Uganda. We prayed that all would be ok at least by Wednesday but not much had changes by then. So we prayed that things would be better by Thursday but not much changed. Our TV stations showed hundreds of people stranded and some complaining of not getting help and information from the airlines they had booked with. To my disappointment, KWO was forced to cancel their last trip. We picked the three team members from Malindi and they had got a reservation for Wednesday the 14th!!! They had been gone from home for almost two weeks and the airport was in chaos.   Well, it turns out God had other plans and I must add, good plans.!!! The three KWO team members had a tour of MITS, got down to business, doing what they know best, dental work. At first it was going to be for a few people but Phillip ended up bringing all the affected students and team!!! Today, over 25 teeth were able to be filled, teeth extracted, and even expert advice on brushing!!  Now the team plans to work some more tommorow and even on Wednesday!!
I would not have knows what good was in the trip not materializing, but after seeing how many MITS students and team got a chance to be worked on, I know God had a plan and a good one at that.!!! God is good and we thank him and the team for going the extra mile to bless us."

It is our prayer that we can be of mutual blessing to one another -- and that through all our efforts, Jesus will be honored, the Good News of his love and sacrifice will be spread, and that many will turn to Him for their hope and give him their lives.  He is our ONE - and there is one more out there who doesn't know him.  Can you reach that one?
