In response to a vision, a ministry was born.     Pushed by poverty and dysfunctional families, some 44,000 Filipino children (UNICEF estimate, 2000)     have found the street as their only shelter left. Stealing and a string of legal offenses have defined         their daily survival. Only their age, it seems, has remained as the last mark of their innocence as they    spill out stories weighed down with abuse, neglect and abandon.    Somehow, their needs have to be met. Somehow, the Gospel has to reach them. They must know          that   they still have a destiny and a purpose.    Christ for Asia Association, Inc. (CFA) is committed to show them.
