Tom and Lois Lofton with Child in the Midst and directors of Kids Living Free have recently returned from a three week trip to Africa where they shared the principles of Living Free and trained workers to begin the Kids Living Free. Below is a segment of their newsletter:

We just returned from a three week mission in South Africa, Swaziland, and Mauritius. Our ministry in each of these countries included preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ, training the principles of Living Free, empowering children's workers with the Kids Living Free program, and witnessing the music ministry of our daughter, Mandy as she encouraged hundreds of children to live according to the promises in God's Word.

Our hearts were touched as several children accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior after one school event in Cape Town, South Africa. We rejoiced to see the children once abandoned on the streets of Swaziland now becoming spiritually, physically and emotionally whole. And it was a great blessing to train many workers in Mauritius as they prepare to launch the ministry of Teen Challenge in their country.
