Kids on the team

A big desire of ours is that as the kids come off the streets and their lives are turned around by Christ some of them would be able to help in the Proyecto MEFI team to see other street kids changed in the same way. The process of coming off the streets can be long and difficult and we have already lived through that with a few. We are developing appropriate discipleship courses using available materials and are hoping that we can involve more church members in that process with the kids. It's exciting to show a couple of photos of kids here.

This is Mark from the Carrubbers team giving his testimony in English on the streets. Andrew is not translating - it's one of the kids from that group! He lived in the US for a while and though he isn't a Christian himself yet here he is helping his own group to understand something of God's love through the translation fo Mark's testimony.
Here is Alex with another kid who has been off the streets for a while. I posted his testimony back in May and called him Hector (not his real name). This kid is unique. He works hard though he has always wanted to work alongside the team in the Drop-In Centre and we help him by paying rent etc. When missionary teams are here he will go with them on the prayer walk and give his testimony. I've always wondered about seminary training in the future for him. Imagine our excitement on Saturday when we went for our training with the other missionaries and there he was sitting in class with Alex and Paty (who study every Saturday)! Please pray for this guy. He still has his struggles but he is a different kid and God can use him to do amazing things for Him. Perhaps this will be the first ex-street kid to work for Proyecto MEFI!
