Now that GYO is over we are going full force into our slum minis.try. We are visiting some of the roughest areas of the city and bringing along the Indonesian youth during our outreaches. We are meeting people where they are at and developing relationships with them. During our visit today we went to a water slum. It's an area built over water. It may sound picturesque until you realize that the water is stagnant and full of garbage. The bridges in and out and between homes are anything but safe. I included a few pictures here so you can see what I mean.
Unfortunately, the children are running around without shoes near this water all day and there is really no easy place for clean water. What is ironic is that no more than 5 minutes down the road is one of the nicest Malls and gated communites I have ever seen. It's a real shame because the children are extremely beautiful and the families are so hospitable. God's heart is really broken for the poverty in these places. These are some of the people there....
Please Pray for This Place and These People......
