Bwana Asifiwe. Praise God. I returned home safe and sound from my trip to
The Ministry
The main desire of the ministry is to reach the streets of
Primary School
The primary school serves 200 students formerly suffering street children or victims of poor family life. The school while called a Children’s Home acts as a boarding school. Students attend classes three months on and one month off. During this month, students return to their family/ guardian. Upon acceptance into the school, the faculty conducts a background check on all students, finding a guardian for them whether it be parent, brother, sister, uncle, grandparent, etc. The intent is not to withhold them from their culture but to install good habits, preparing them to survive in the world they live in.
The rescue center serves street children transitioning from the streets to a structure. The center provides the boys with educational lessons until they prove themselves ready. Recently, the Rohi board decided to convert the rescue center into a vocational training center. This allows older boys to learn a skill worthy of employment. The main desire of this ministry is break bad habits, instill good habits, and then put them into their old environment ready to succeed.
Town Office
The town office takes cases for those on the streets daily. They give out anything from food to clothes to finding medicine. The main outreach involves Sunday street church. The church is in a local park. There those living on the streets gather to hear the gospel and then get fed. Many people from the Sunday church show up at the town office.
My Ministry
The ministry I served was the primary school. There I taught the P.E. lessons and executed various tasks for the faculty. P.E. lessons may have been the most challenging part but also the most enjoyable. A 25:1 ratio is difficult but a 70:1 is absolute chaos. I also helped plan an Olympic event for the kids.
Toward the end of my stay, I went to the Pokot tribe and showed the Jesus film. They listened receptively and many kids dedicated their life to Christ. Pray that pastors in the area can disciple them.
On a personal level God taught me the importance of prayer. This ministry wouldn’t grown were it not for prayer. They meet everyday at 11am and Tuesday nights for prayer. It is an important part of their lives and God has blessed them.
Thank you for your support and prayers. They were heard and appreciated. Let God do the work. Just faithfully come before him.
