In Guatemala we worked with the Shikinah ministries, that reach many different people in all different ways. However, we spent most of our time working at their soup kitchen, helping them serve an average of 500 hungry and often homeless people everyday. We learnt a lot during our time here about the monotonous, survival based type of living for those on the street. Their day forcussed around ways of finding food and money. For children especially this is no way to live, so we were blessed and happy to also have the opportunity to work with a man Gyseppi who ran a school for theses children free of charge, and visited the families on the streets 3 times a week with hope, soup and sandwiches. As Europe is hit by the shockingly cold weather, please pray that everyone has a bed this Christmas and somewhere to go to get out of the cold. And for everyone in the world homeless, please pray that whatever the circumstances are that ended in them living on the streets are changed, and that they find not only a house but a home.
