History of Agape |
|
|
Agape Children's Ministry began as a response from the heart of a nurse, Darla Calhoun, who had gone to Kisumu to teach preventive health care in surrounding villages. As she spent time in Kisumu, she was approached on a regular basis by groups of street boys begging for food. Though at the time she knew very little about street boys, she was touched by their plight and their expressions of utter hopelessness.

Two important factors dominate the shape of Agape's future. First is the desire, indeed, the obligation to address the needs of as many of the children remaining on the streets as possible. Second, as effective as it is, the Agape model of ministry to children is a work in progress and must be further developed and completed in order to provide the basis for successful duplication elsewhere in the world. |
