While the authorities haven’t announced a storm all-clear, our City Mission team is again reaching out to the street kids. A participant reports: ”Tonight we are finally heading for that well known street corner again, where we usually meet with the street kids, drug addicts and prostitutes and spend time with them. First we’ve only met the smaller kids, the older ones kept away since a group of soldiers was within sight.
The kids missed us already and wanted to see the pictures that I took last time. I had to promise to hand out the pictures till Christmas. We had a really cool time with the kids. Rose, a Filipino staff, brought some picture books which we read to the kids. We also played together and I had to take more pictures of them.
One of the kids was very interested in the Father’s House and when we showed him some pictures of the Father’s House he said straight away: “Can you take me there, please!” A little while later, after the soldiers had left, the older boys and girls came, too. We had the opportunity to talk to some of them.
Unfortunately, I was very busy taking pictures, because every minute somebody new asked me to take a picture. Nevertheless, it was great to be involved and I can downright “sense” how much Jesus loves these kids. I’m convinced that he has other plans for them than living on the streets.”
