Street Kid outreach - Mission Trip to Lebanon

Trip Details:

Sender:	Arabs for Christ
Title:	Street Kid outreach
Description:	The majority of street kids in Lebanon are Turkmen. They speak Turkish as their first language and Arabic as their second language. We have been doing outreach to them since April 2010. We are needing more help with this project. Although, it would be prefered to have some people who already speak Arabic, it is difficult to find Lebanese recruits as there exists a lot of racisim against the Turkmen from the Lebanese. We are looking for people who want to help and love these kids. Even if you do not know how to speak Arabic you can be a big help. Basically, what we do is... We have meetings with them throughout the week, feeding them then talking to them about Christ and then teaching them a bit about how to read in Arabic. Most of these kids have been working since they were 5 years old! You can see a video by going to http://www.ArabsforChrist.org/kids.wmv Blessings to you, as you consider this outreach.
