Johnny

Imagine being on your own in a city of 3 million people.

You are alone, lost, hungry, cold, and probably afraid; after all you are only four-years-old.

This is the story of Johnny. A few weeks ago he was found by some of the girls who live on the streets of Nairobi. He was wandering alone, near a congested round-a-bout.

The girls took him to their "base" ( a street corner) where they tried to care for him until someone came for him. After a week, no one came.

Monday morning, when we came to minister to the kids on this particular corner, the girls brought Johnny to us. Finding it difficult to care for themselves and their own infants, they felt they could no longer care for an extra child.

They asked us to help find a home for him and that's how Johnny came to be at Huruma children's home.

He seems to be happy there with the other 200+ children. He is fed, clothed and cared for at the Home. But, it's not the same as having your own loving home!

Pray with us that, if possible, Johnny's family will find him and they will be reunited. If not, pray that he will feel secure and loved at Huruma children's home.

Pray for the 100s of children who, like Johnny, find themselves on the streets of Nairobi fending for themselves. Pray that they will find a home in Christ.
