Easter parties with the street kids

Just before Easter I asked you to pray about our Easter parties with the street kids. We held the two parties and here are a few pictures. We played some soccer and Frisbee, ate colored hard boiled eggs, juice boxes and cookies, and they were told the Easter story. We gave them a chance to draw a picture (most are illiterate) of something they wanted to leave at the cross. Then they colored a little necklace to remind them of all that Jesus had done. These kids are hard to read. They have all been through so much. They seemed to have fun and we just have to pray that God is working in their young minds. Thanks for praying!

This boy’s name is Shida. It means problem in swhail.  What a curse to put on a child. Shida has been living on the street for a while now and has pretty much fried his brain huffing.  He was stoned for the entire time we were there. How much pain and suffering his young life must hold. How sad.
