We have been in Tucson, AZ, and a great visit with the Mountain Avenue Church; we have visited with many people at the Conejo Valley Church in Thousand Oaks, CA, while spending time with "the kids" - daughter, son-by-marriage and the grandchildren.
It is our great joy to tie together two worlds that have many differences but One Lord -- the street ministry in Nairobi and supporting congregations and friends in the USA. And what we are most amazed about is the continuing compassion and generosity we experience in Christians in the USA.
Maybe the greatest difference is that our world in Nairobi is "homeless" while our world in the USA has the comfort of good homes. In Nairobi the street kids sleep outside, so our work is outside also. And our congregation in Kamulu is "homeless", since we meet outside in the courtyard of the Learning Centre at MITS. But at Kamulu we are providing a home for kids, with each street kid having his or her own bed! And the same is true for the girls with babies at the Eastleigh Center. Your support makes this possible, and we are all grateful.
