Biggest thing -- we are exiting 25 students in 2014 -- several have jobs now and others are either hunting or have internships. They are both scared and excited, and some do better than others. But they are all off the streets and will stay that way.
And next biggest....we have already taken in 26 new students from the streets this year. Some came in never having gone to school; others have been up to the second grade. We have six 12-year-olds now; they will be with us for at least 6 years, so we can have great impact on their lives. Five of them are girls, and we are so glad to have them off the streets.

This year we kicked off a new and special program called Into the World. Jackton and Millie Omondi have responsibility to help our graduates become evangelists by encouraging and training them to hold Bible studies in their new apartments. We had a meeting and meal at the Marble Arch Hotel in Nairobi, and 50 of our graduates came. We are very hopeful that several will have ongoing groups by the end of the year. Jackton and Millie are doing a Bible study themselves as a model of evangelism. Darlene and i took the 7 Made in the Streets guards out for dinner and took Jackton and Millie along. After dinner, Jackton invited the guards to be in a Bible study on Wednesday afternoons, and they all agreed.
We remain thrilled to be part of the life of Made in the Streets. God has called us all to help the kids who have nothing and who face a hopeless future. There is HOPE when the church responds to God's call. Thanks for checking in!!
