"We started out by prayer at each of the four
bases we visited today. Then we had lessons from James, Terron and Larry. At
the Equity base, we met with 16 boys mostly under 18; the youngest we guess was
around 8. We couldn't help but feel sorry for them. As Terron rightly put it, "You need to
get yourself at a place where God will use you or bless you". When we
arrived, a few of them had just put down their "jombi” (leftover food given them from a food kiosk). As expected, they welcomed us to eat - sad to
say we didn't. Instead we asked them to gather around as we told them various
stories of how Jesus loves and wants them to know him. After the closing
prayer, James took them to a nearby kiosk for tea.
Our next stop was at Pumwani Base where we
found two ladies, one of them was in our program some years ago but ran away (Khadija)
and now has a two year girl and another on the way!! We wanted to pray with them. They said they
would accompany us to Highrise base so we walked together. At Highrise, we met with 18, both boys and
girls, some young and some old. We did not forget to tell about how Jesus wants
them to know him despite where they are. Afterwards James bought them
lunch. We went on to Marie Stopes Base.
Here we prayed with and taught two ladies and eight guys!! We later headed back
to the Center; after lunch Moses and James went to visit one of the street guys
who is admitted at Kenyatta Hospital. To God be the Glory, great things he has
done and is doing for his people through us!! Glad you are part of it!!"
Blessings, Mbuvi

We do need your help. We want to have a great holiday time in December for young people and children on the streets and the students at Kamulu. We need about $5,000 for Christmas parties and dinners, gifts of clothing and shoes and books, and local trips for the students to special places around Nairobi where they have never been. Please help us out - for more info and to let me know what you want to do, write me at charles@madeinthestreets.org
