These pictures were taken when the NMC team visited the Mathare Slum. These beautiful children live in some of the toughest conditions I have seen. It is hard to imagine what their futures will hold. But one thing I know: God sees them, He loves them, He has a plan for their lives, He wants to give them a hope and a future. We were so blessed to show them God's love, even if it was just for a few hours. We pray that many more will listen to God's call and reach out to these precious children! I read that it would take 13 years of consistent international effort to eradicate the slums. That seems almost impossible, but with God nothing is impossible. I am going to pray that very soon, those 13 years will begin and the children of the future will not know the hardships that these young ones have known!

Children of Mathare
