Made In The Streets
Description
Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa
The Board of Directors and the staff of Made in the Streets express their heartfelt thanks to loving Christians for prayers and support through the years of our existence. Street ministry began as a work of the Eastleigh, Nairobi, congregation in 1996. After five years, the ministry is beginning to mature.
Staff
The ministry has 19 ministers and volunteers who minister on the streets, with children’s families, in various congregations and in the boarding program of the ministry. They range from 20 to 30 years old. Most of them have had five or more years experience in teaching Bible classes, evangelizing and leading projects. They are educated in Bible, computers, electronics, music, management, marketing, tailoring, counseling and first aid. Serving in the administration are James Kamau, Servant of the House Churches, Boniface Kimani, Supervisor of Street Ministry, Joel Njue, Supervisor of Boarding Program, Alfonce Kioko, Director of Special Programs, and Francis Mbuvi, Financial Manager. They, together with the Board of Directors, are responsible for planning for evangelism, church growth, child care and street ministry.
Property
The ministry’s facility on 5th Street in Eastleigh Section II is valued in excess of $100,000. There is dorm space for 26 boys, two courtyards, a meeting hall, library, teachers’ resource room, two classrooms, three housing units, a kitchen, a first aid room, showers and toilets. It is an ideal facility to operate "from" to minister on the streets, to have street children come for programs, for a church to meet, and for housing select teenagers to be trained. The farm at Kamulu, 45 minutes driving from Eastleigh, has 29.5 acres in several plots, plus five acres that belong to the Coulstons. All the acreage is fenced, and nine acres is under cultivation. A stone compound that houses an apartment for the Coulstons, a meeting hall, two dorm rooms for girls, a kitchen, a guest apartment, two shipping containers, showers and toilets has been built. Francis Mbuvi and Mauryn Nduku, who recently married, are living next door, and John Wambu and family live near. Value of all the Kamulu property approaches $200,000.
