THANKING GOD FOR HIS LOVE AND TRANSFORMATION IN THE LIVES
OF THE STREET CHILDREN.
Disapproving the community that not all street children are wrong people in our communities, but once given attention and quality amount of time and patience they are as good as other people.
So many people in our society have come up in the open to regard most street boys as the bad boys of the community because of problems associated with them or because of the history behind their life styles.
For example there are people who are often heard saying that they will never want to know what goes on in the lives of these boys, in some other cases the situation is made to look ugly by how often they are being rounded up by law enforcers of the city or police and taken into solitary confinement.
Mercy Alive Africa has however; grown and worked with these children for now more than six years and our story about them is way different. Our expression while working in them and the approach which is purely preaching to them about the power of God to change human beings has helped them to discover themselves.
By the time we entered into their areas( That is where they sleep and spend most of their time) there were a lot of discontentment and high cases of indiscipline of all manner, and we began to use the knowledge of the bible as a major element that was going to uproot some of these cases. This is because many people acquired knowledge of how to handle and deal with street children were not yielding desired change we needed to see in these boys until we introduced them weekly preaching and other activities like feeding them lunch and having sports and games whenever we do an outreach . All these programs are to help the boys to unite, communicate and allow us to reach out to them the best we can.
Our simplicity of being approachable has made most of them to share their personal struggles of life where our team have been willing to listen to their unending story tells and have offered word of wisdom and conducted counseling, today we are glad to say that the Lord has been good for the so many transformations taking place in these boys, On various programs,we have shared testimonies many street children who are in school and some resettled back with their families, other boys are now working, previously you may have observed that one of the boy managed to get a sponsor and we are happy that He is in school.
It is because of such noticeable changes in these boys, Mercy Alive Africa stands to thank the God for having used it to disapprove the beliefs of so many people about the image of the street boys in their own society.
We take special moments to thank our strong beloved Friends, who have walked a journey while encouraging us, supporting us in everything which is a big percentage in helping us change the communities and see the transformation of various children.
May the God bless the team and everyone who prays for the street children.
Thanks from management
