God's idea!
Went to the streets on Friday and... what a day! We started of with 12th street base, found actually two boys, one younger the other older, said high then went on to Calif base. Apparently this is the base known to have celebrities. As in, they all want to become singers/rappers one day and make it big. Some dream ha! They are good and focused only the drug and circumstances are the problem. Each of the team gave an encouragement, Nzioka said to always be there for one another no matter what the predicament, Maggy emphasized on sticking so close to God all the time with the purpose of inheriting God's likeness and attitude, Robin was wearing a t-shirt labeled 'I am God's idea' thus he told the guys that they are not here on earth by just mere mistake and try to live up to their calling through God's eyes and be His idea. Abraham introduces himself as Abu, then went on to say that call on God's help in prime times of need and he will always come to your aid if you believe! Lastly Anthony gave a brief story just to put a spark of hope in their/our spirits. His story was of a street boy he knew who made it in life by not belittling the small avenues that comes with life's struggles, to always grab opportunities by the small strand that they comes with it.
