Meet the Coulstons

Charles and Darlene Coulston were married in 1964. Their daughter Brenda is married, and they have twin daughters aged 8 and another girl who is 6.

Charles has taught at Eastern New Mexico University and in an extension program for Pepperdine University. He preached 21 years in Redwood City, California, and his duties included youth ministry, directing summer camps, directing recreation programs and coaching basketball.

He served as Administrator for Kenya Christian Industrial Training Institute in Nairobi, Kenya, for 4 years, as the school grew from a startup computer, electronics and Bible college to serving over 1200 students.

Since 1996, he has raised funds and worked closely with Kenyans in developing Made in the Streets, a ministry serving teenagers who are sleeping on the streets in the Eastleigh and Mathare Valley slums.

Darlene has opened two cradle roll programs in churches; she taught Bible classes for primarily non-Christian mothers of small children for 16 years. She taught secondary school (English and Latin) for one year and taught Bible courses at Kenya Christian Industrial Training Institute for 4 years, primarily Acts. At Made in the Streets she serves as curricula director for the English and Bible programs and she acts as an advisor to the Team members.

Their personal interests are reading fantasy literature, talking about street kids and grandchildren, drinking gourmet coffee together in as many interesting places as they can visit, sitting in front of a softly burning fireplace, listening to rain patter on the roof and encouraging growth of the church - not necessarily in that order.
