Reuben is
fantastic. He is dedicated. He is quiet.
Reuben is
our house dad for Mama Jean's Home. He lives with the boys; he also mentors the
boys; he laughs with the boys and he loves the boys.
And he's a
really good football (soccer for the North Americans here!) player.
Reuben is a
single man, in his early 20's, who has decided to live life with these boys. He
helps them with their homework. He is a great role model and mentor for the
boys and we are thankful to have him on staff.
A note from
Reuben:
"This is a wonderful opportunity that
the Almighty God has put aside to create a change towards a society that we
want in Kenya; through the support of One 5 Ministries. It's one full of young
men, young people now that can make their own sound decisions about their
future.
Whenever I talk and provide guidance on the
topic of how the boys can change their life from the street to now, I know it
can be done through this positive project, Mama Jean's. It's amazing that the boys, now they can feel
a sense of love from all of us here and from above with Jesus, as they can now
put the street life behind them and now look to a brighter future.
All these have made us as the staff to be
motivated and excited. From the discipleship we, the staff receive, we now
always know and make sure that the love of God, plus our admiration and respect
for Him, are always present.
So to everyone who does support or wishes to
support One 5 Ministries and Mama Jean's Home, I appreciate it and give thanks
to what you have done and what you can do for us all here. May the Lord God
grant you a healthy life and to help accomplish our mission here with these
boys in Kenya!
Please pray
for Reuben today. Pray for God to continue to give him the wisdom and
discernment he needs to help continue to raise the boys at the home.
