I should give an update on Aggrey. Things aren't as peachy as they seemed when I wrote my last blog. Candy is still with the aunt upcountry, we can't know how she is doing as the aunt won't communicate with Aggrey. He is pursuing a court case but lack of funds slow that down.
The latest thoughts he is having is that he probably isn't in a great position to look after Candy himself at this time so he is focusing on starting up a business that will be able to support them both further down the line. For now he is searching for an organisation that offers capital and ongoing support and advice to set up a small business. Turning Point is an option although it means starting smaller than he would like. He has some other options that he is looking into.
Things are still a real struggle for him, he finds it hard to concentrate and make good decisions about the business as his mind is always with Candy. We are continuing to pray for strength and wisdom for him and for change in his situation.

Welcome
Just so you know, the name of this blog is from a speech that Bono made at a prayer meeting in Washington, he said ‘God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house… God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.’ I’ve found this to be true, God is present in the slums bringing a living hope to people living hard and unnoticed lives so that’s where I also want to be. I’m currently working with The Turning Point Trust who run projects in the Kibera slum for kids and their families. I’ll keep you updated from here!
