We all get excited when young people make a commitment to follow Jesus. We don't teach our kids a great deal about religion, we don't emphasize what they have to do in worship, we don't talk down any other faith system...what we do is invite kids to know Jesus, to love Jesus, to follow Jesus, to obey Jesus. When they do, their religion is solid, there worship is sincere and correct, their love for all is developed.
Joseph Karanja graduated from Made in the Streets without making a commitment to follow Jesus. He got a place to live, found and lost two jobs, was arrested for being too interested in a fight that was going on and was not doing well. Then one of our young people who is involved in a Discovery Bible Study as part of our Into the World Project invited him to a Bible study, and he attended.
So on September 28 he came out to Kamulu and asked to be baptized. We were all energized when he talked about the Bible study and what it meant to his heart.
