A great bunch of kids coming to the centre are enjoying their time, talks, and play. Members of the team were commenting on how much easier this bunch are, but it will be sure that the team are more used to the set up, so the kids find a much more experienced team who are better equipped to cope with the problems that the kids throw at them.
We went through the statistics of the last wave, so here they are for your prayers and praise.
We had 76 kids come through the door since the end of March. Of those 33 came once, maybe twice to check us out or get some free clothes. 24 came 4 or 5 times and 4 came for 2 weeks in a row. So we had 15 steady attenders. Wonderfully 16 kids prayed to accept Jesus as their Saviour and 9 left the streets 3 of whom returned after a few months. We have no contact with the others except that they come and visit.
So are you as encouraged as the team is? We hope so. Praise God that He is molding the team and as they sat down this week to think about the next 'year' ahead there was a wonderful unity of purpose and determination to keep working and praying for fruit. This week, apart form ministry of course the team will be refining the day program and weeks activities to maximize their time.
Thursday night had 19 people come two of whom were kids. Praise God that even though we had to cancel the service for the general assembly, we still had our regulars and others come for the teaching time. Can we still count the 3 Haitians who came just as Fidel was finishing the sermon? They came in and stayed for coffee and a chat.
