The Beautiful Ladies of Renew
Thanks to all of you for your support of the Renew Program over the past year and a half. Renew is a project to bring sex workers out of prostitution into a new life where they are loved and valued for who they are and who they can become. They are counseled and prayed for. Rent is covered and education needs are taken care of. 5 ladies who faced death by strangulation, drugs, or HIV - now are living full lives caring for kids, seeking more education or different employment, and looking to assist others in need.

The lady in the front of the group photo is Agrapina - who is our new program supervisor and counselor. She visits the ladies each week and prays with them. Please continue to pray for their lives.

Helping Shadrack
Lahash has been assisting a kid in Kibera who attends the Tenderfeet Center. He needs brain surgery and is diabetic. Today I wired over nearly $4000 that all of you donated over the past 6 months for his surgery! Thank you for your assistance for his critical medical condition. Dax Mitchell has been the project manager and updated the HelpShadrack.org webpage recently. Pray for Shadrack as he has his surgery next week. A special thanks to Conerstone United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas for your congregation's gift.

The Little Blue Ambulance is repaired!
Formerly known as the little white ambulance - the little Ford Escort with a Nissan engine has undergone structural repairs and body work to get back onto the road! Lahash Coordinator Edwin Angote stands in front of the lifeline of the Munyaka slums.

Tenderfeet Moving
Tenderfeet is moving once more. Unfortunately the previous spot they've been renting hasn't worked out, and they'll be re-situating into a 6 room building. Dax Mitchell and Edwin Angote have been working on getting proper floors poured and a lawyer to represent the school so that they will have a semi-permanent school for the next year as they raise funds for their own building.
