extreme poverty
Visiting the Salvation Army in Lithuania I got to do an outreach with them visiting people who live on a huge trash-dump outside the city of Klaipeda. Having lived in the DTES, Canada's poorest postal code I thought I've seen a lot. But seeing people litterally living in hoods made of trash, surrounded by piles of even more trash, and, especially, seeing their tears, hurts.
The Salvation Army has been keeping up visiting them now over a period of four years. This helps people to trust and gives hope for successfully preparing them for the time the trash-dump will be closed and they have to leave.
I know, God cries, too.
Praise him for his heart for the poor!

Dear Esther! I am sorry I haven't written for so long. Great blog (haven't read it all yet!)! I am on my way to Germany, are you there now? Check out my blog for the whole story but I'm about to do a major trip for God, a kind of modern pilgrimage. And I miss you so much! I love you, sister... /Erikka Chapman
