We Found Shelter at the Dumpsite



Every Saturday I visit the children who go to Kid’s Club with a group of young people and moms from the church I attend. We go there with the purpose of reminding the children about Kid’s Club on the following day. But before I came back to the Philippines, God placed a desire to reach out to the people working in the heaps of reeking trash, scavenging for scraps to recycle. One hot and gloomy afternoon, as we carefully climbed up the hill, we met a mother and two of her daughters.They were resting underneath a makeshift tent on top of trash.
















We introduced ourselves to the family and asked if they had any prayer request. The lady looked at us with a smile on her face and said, “Pray for the health of my husband because he is not feeling well.”


Shortly after we prayed for her, it started pouring down rain. She told us to get inside her tent until the rain stopped. I personally was having a blast as I sat on a piece of plywood supported by old tires because I was getting to know the family more. Some of us got more wet than others, but we all climbed down the muddy hill rejoicing about how we found shelter in the rain and got to meet a wonderful family.
