By Charles Mulli. Lagoon City, ON: Castle Quay Books, 2016.
One of the best Christian books I've read in a long time.
Kenyan-born Mulli tells his story of going from being a street child to running successful businesses. Then, he tells how he left all that to start homes for East African street children, while all the while teaching the reader many important lessons about the God we serve and how to serve Him.
First of all, this book sparkles with Mulli's God-given wisdom, not only in the way Mulli approached setting up and running his children's homes but also with the way Mulli looks at life and gets things across to the reader.
Mulli takes a holistic approach to what he is doing for God, not just taking care of the children's spiritual needs but taking care of all manner of their mental, physical and emotional needs as well.
Unlike Western missionaries, Mulli doesn't spend several chapters whining on about all the difficulties he's faced for the Lord. In fact, there's no whining in this book whatsoever, rather a recognition of God's supremacy, control and intervention.
It's always great to read about what's being done for the Lord in other countries, and it's especially great to read "My Journey of Faith" which you can purchase here.https://www.amazon.com/My-Journey-Faith-Encounter-Christ/dp/192735577X

A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need to publish more about this subject,
it may not be a taboo matter but usually people do
not speak about these issues. To the next! Kind regards!!
The plight of African street children definitely seems to be somewhat of a taboo subject over there. Glad there are people like Charles Mulli trying to change that and help these youngsters.
