Set Free!

In my recent ministry trip to Kenya, I noticed numbers of little boys, all over town, sleeping (middle of the day) by the wayside, etc. Most of them, I noticed were carrying a small bottle with them.....what I discovered was these children are addicted to GLUE SNIFFING. I know in the USA we have had this problem in past times with teenagers sniffing glue to "get high". Well, this is a major problem in that part of the world. I was told by a Kenyan Pastor that these boys will probably not live to adulthood, due to this addiction. It will harm their brains...and make them prime candidates for disease. Hopeless? Not when we know the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

During our team's street ministry, and evening crusade, we saw scores of these kids delivered and healed by
the power of Jesus! You know it's real, when the kids give up their glue bottles.
I'm happy to report that the national Kenyan church is going to take these children in, and get them off the streets -
- get them FREE and adopt them into families. Most of these kids are homeless. Not anymore!!

T.L. Osborn learned years ago....when you go overseas....show them the POWER! Then people will listen to you. John Wimber calls it, "Power Evangelism". It works. That is a powerful Kingdom Concept. When was the last time you heard that Mohammad healed an addicted child? JESUS still heals and delivers! Why? JESUS IS ALIVE!!!
