Fresh news from Mexico arrives as an email, and there are new faces that we might meet while we are there. It is so encouraging for us that the work that we were a part of continues. More and more street kids are becoming ex-street kids as they come into contact with the Good News that Jesus died for them and that they are loved by someone who will never let them down. Someone who understands temptation and someone who understands weakness.
It will be the greatest privilege to share with some of these young rejected people about the offer of a relationship with someone who has their best interests in mind ALWAYS.
There are times when in Scotland it seems that people don't feel they need God. It seems good to share with a homeless drug addict street kid the love of God, but does the UK need Jesus? I believe it does. A relationship with the maker, the forgiveness of a King, the love of a Father, the self sacrificial love of a Saviour.
Maybe it's the wealth of the UK, the stability of a government and the standard of living that we expect which stops us seeing our own need for God. Maybe we are in a much more dangerous position than the poor street kid in Mexico City.
