Prestoncrest Missions

Greetings, friends of street kids in Nairobi –

You have likely seen the news about the chaos in Kenya and are wondering how it affects the street ministry.

What it means first of all is that we must “stay put” — it is hard to get work done on behalf of the kids when the situation is volatile. So the Team and students and visitors at Kamulu are staying there. Aggies for Christ have 5 visitors with us now, and they are doing a “Day Camp” for the students at Kamulu — we now have 50 teenagers living with us there, and some have recently come from the streets — so the Aggies will be able to perform a great service for them.

I spoke with Francis Mbuvi on the phone last night, and they are staying at Kamulu, going no further than the small town nearby (Ruai) to pick up food items that are needed. Life will go on as usual at Kamulu, with literacy studies and skills training, except that the kids and team will be careful to be inside before dark, just to be certain of safety.

The Kamulu Center is at the Eastern edge of Nairobi in a rural area.
The likelihood of any events connected with the election happening there is very low. We are blessed in our location.

Ann and Anthony and Kennedy live at the Eastleigh Center. Some violence has occurred not far from them, so they are staying put as well. We have a secure building; they just need to stay inside when there is possible danger.

Larry and Hollye Conway are staying in at their house also.

Please pray for our Team and kids, and the Aggies for Christ who are there. Please pray for Kenya, especially for those who are disappointed with the election results, that they will value peace above victory.

Happy New Year — thanks for your care for Made in the Streets, for the Coulstons and the Team and the kids. Be blessed in Jesus,

Charles and Darlene coulston
