We desire to equip parents who want to teach their children about God’s call to love the needy. Each downloadable activity page highlights an issue faced by those in poverty. Filled with puzzles, prayer points, memory verses, and a monthly challenge, we pray these pages will be a blessing to families who desire to grow a heart for ministry within their children.

We don’t have a traditional school on our campus

We don’t have a traditional school on our campuses because the children we serve only stay with us for a few months. Our goal is not to be their school, but to tutor them so that they can get back on track with the school they’ll attend once they are settled at home. We do the gap work with them on math, language, reading, Swahili, and English, so they can more easily transition into a grade level.

Sometimes, despite our encouragement and tutoring, children choose to do an apprenticeship or work on their family farm instead of going to school. Our preference for every child is school because we believe education paves the way for better opportunities. BUT, at the end of the day, we always do what we believe is best for the individual child and that means taking their preferences, interests, abilities, and personal history to heart. 🌞

Don’t step on the cracks!

Children have all kinds of little beliefs and worries like this. They think they can affect others through unrelated actions like stepping on a crack in the ground or have their faces stuck a certain way forever because they held it that way too long. These [mostly] harmless beliefs tend to disappear with the coming of adulthood.

But when a child has a false belief about who they are, it can affect them for life. The children who come through Agape need Christ’s transformation of the heart to overturn false beliefs about themselves.

“I’m unloveable” becomes “I am SO loved and loved above all by God who created me.”

“I’m ugly” becomes “I am beautiful.”

“I’m alone” becomes “I am never alone.”

“I’m afraid” becomes “I don’t have to be afraid.”

“I’m worthless” becomes “I am priceless.”

What false beliefs are you holding onto about yourself that Jesus needs to change? 🌞

It’s quite rare in Kisumu, but girls do sometime

It’s quite rare in Kisumu, but girls do sometimes fall through the cracks of society to the streets. In Nakuru, where we set up a satellite office earlier this year, it’s a lot more common. No child should ever have to live on the streets, but for girls, it’s more dangerous and potentially more traumatizing. We’re so thankful for your support and prayers which help us to rescue these precious girls!

When we reunite families, we make sure that each child is reconciled with each family member they will continue a relationship with, as relationships are often damaged between more than just a guardian, but with the family and community. Here we see a child returning home and seeking restoration with not only mom and dad, but with his grandma. Family is so, so important in all parts of the world, but in Kenya, family means your whole family, extended, too. Each relationship must be considered for successful family reunification.
