Pastor Daniel is standing where the pulpit of the slum church once was. The city demolished the building and many homes in order to build a retaining wall. The "homes" were makeshift shelters made of scraps of all kinds-- but they were all these people had. Now, we have more than 100 displaced families struggling to survive. In addition to the destruction of the church, we had a shelter which was home for 3 widows of the church. And--- we had a little unofficial school for the small children in the slum. About 100 children were coming daily to learn reading, writing and arithmetic and God's Word. It might be the only education and the only opportunity to hear of the Savior for these little children. Allow has already sent some emergency help for this ministry. The partners on the ground have identified a place for the church to meet temporarily and another place to rebuild. We need to include the widow shelter and the slum school in the new plans as well. Praying for the Lord's abundant provision for these things in His time.
