Parents,

Would you like to help your children grow in developing a servant attitude by positively impacting other children that are less fortunate? Take your family on a meaningful three week journey that explores the world of Nairobi, Kenya street kids and combines this with Biblical truth. A small burlap sack will become your powerful prop as it is one of the most important possessions for street kids. This is where street kids keep everything they own: their shirts, shoes, hats, and maybe a pair of socks. At night, it will become their bed.

This Bible study features one activity and Bible verse each day for 21 days. During this three week journey, your child will have the opportunity to collect money that can be donated to Made in the Streets to make a real difference in the lives of street kids. The activities are designed be be done together as a family, generating conversations and prayers about the blessings we enjoy every day and our opportunities to share with others.

The keys to success in this journey are daily prayer and dialog with your children. Don’t just rely on the few words given in the activity for each day. Use them as conversation starters and then go from there. We want these conversations to become commonplace in your family in order to help your child(ren) see the blessings and opportunities God has given them. We hope you can commitment to engage your child(ren) every day for entire three weeks.

We've suggested a variety of different monetary amounts in the daily activities that would fit a variety of families’ financial situations. Feel free to make adjustments to fit your family’s financial situation, while still trying to challenge your family to grow. Remember, the funds collected though these activities will be used entirely and directly to help street children in the city of Nairobi, Kenya, through the Made in the Streets ministry.

If you need a small burlap sack for your child to keep his/her coins in, they will be available at your local craft stores, like Hobby Lobby, Michael's or Joann's. They are also available online at bridesvillage.com and eburlap.com if you are buying in bulk. Of course, you could always substitute a brown paper lunch sack. Get creative if you have to.

We would love to see groups of families doing this study together, possibly through life groups or Sunday school classes. This would provide built in support for parents and would allow the children to continue their conversations with each other. We have included an introductory letter and the study guide below that can be downloaded and printed.
