The past 2 Friday nights Alex and Paty have held a service specifically for street kids. Alex and Paty live in a two room flat (kitchen and another room with a curtain partition to serve as a bedroom/living room). Their flat forms part of a bigger house which is divided off for different families in their family circle. There is a large 'patio' and they had received permission to hold the service there the first week but at the last minute Alex's Dad changed his mind so they all squeezed into the little flat.
Last Friday they had the second service and Beto had offered his place. Next Friday it will be in the home of another ex-street kid.
The reason for the service is that there are so many kids needing discipleship that it is becoming an 'around the clock' job, especially for Alex and Paty who have the kids living all around them. The hope is that by meeting them all together the kids will be encouraged spiritually and it will cut down some of the one-to-one discipleship.
We will continue to meet up with those kids who need one-to-one attention. Paty and I are hoping to start a bible study specifically for the girls very soon (possibly this Friday morning).
How exciting to see kids coming off the streets and hungry for the Word. Change starts in the heart and works its way out to the external things!
