NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS - COULSTON

It's a gray and rainy New Year's Day, and I am going to write New Year's Resolutions.  I have not done this for 23 years, since we moved to Kenya.  When we arrived in Nairobi, we felt so useful and we were very busy with teenagers and with the technical college and later with street kids - there seemed no reason or time to write resolutions.  But this year is different.  We embark on another grand adventure this year -- with plans to take Made in the Streets to another country.  It is necessary!

Necessary because street kids everywhere need a redeeming presence.  Necessary because churches with mission points need to know for sure that doing street ministry along with church planting is do-able and adds tremendously to the mission.  We want to see other churches sponsor street ministries in the many heavily populated poverty-ridden areas of the world where thousands upon thousands of children live outside, without hope and home.  So....my resolutions...

1. I resolve to help MITS raise $1 million in 2015 to take street ministry to another country.
2. I resolve (and Darlene agrees) to give back $10,000 of our 2015 salary to MITS to do this.
3. I resolve to find 99 other people who have $10,000 to give for street ministry in 2015. 

YOUR $10,000 WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.  

Thanks, 

Charles

Don't you want to see all street kids end up this way?  Caroline came from a
terrible situation.  She has now worked full-time for 8 years, owns a piece of land,
and is about to marry a youth minister.   They are standing in our yard holding a book
on how to help a good marriage.
