Observations
• Poverty is in the eye of the beholder• The knee-jerk reaction is to want to give clothes and furniture and things to make these people's lives easier, but we came to see that stuff is not the answer. Spiritual food and encouragement are the only resources that will truly make a difference• Showing people Christ's love through touch and smiles, transcends language barriers and binds hearts in unimaginable ways• A short-term mission can make a long-term difference
Our team is grateful for the many people who supported us financially and who cast a wide prayer net on our behalf. We were surrounded by angels in the midst of great evil, which allowed us to use all of our energy for good.
