Another day and more pics

Apparently you can't take pictures of the US Ambassador's residence...Erika didn't know. Later we read a sign that you can be arrested if caught...so far they haven't shown up to get her. Just in case could you please send bail money. jk
Here I am with a few of the boys at the Farm. Alex is in the yellow and Charles is in blue. Charles was on the streets from the age of 7 to 11. They have such a wonderful spirit and love to play soccer. Be praying for them.

Here are Anthony and Kennedy after they were introduced to Ultimate Ninja. They were both street boys in Eastleigh. If you saw the conditions and places they used to live and what they used to be like you wouldn't believe it. Listening to Anthony preach and share the gospel with on the streets was powerful.

Here is a little boy at the community center (Made in the Streets) who wouldn't go to sleep, but found a lot of comfort on Anna's shoulder.



Here is a trash pile where some of the homeless lived in Eastleigh. They were looking for food and sleeping on it because it was warmer. You can watch video and see pictures, but walking around places like this is different.





Tuesday...we went to the Farm where the street boys from Eastleigh are taken. They have to be clean from drugs and want to change. Some of the boys I met and talked to had been on the streets from the time they were 7yrs old. Living at the Farm they go to school and learn a trade. Seeing how the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to change lives, bring light to dark places and give hope to people is the most powerful and amazing thing.
In Christ,
Trenton
P.S.
Hi Brennen, I hope you are having fun at your tournament.
Sydney, you would love the worship times (you too Brennen and Gabe).
Gabe, you and Josh would have a blast together here. He loves dancing and worshipping with us.
You would love to see so many youth and children give their lives to Jesus Christ. They are so happy and thankful to see us here. No one ever comes to visit them.
One of the saddest things I saw yesterday was when a three year old boy who was standing by the road in some trash pulled down his pants and pooped right there. It is very dirty in the slums and it makes me very sad. I am glad we can come and encourage them and provide food and clothes for some.
I love you, Daddy
