Garbage City in Cairo
The first three days we have been working in the "zeriab" a very poor garbage area. In the mornings we told bible stories and had a craft. The children loved it and loved learning our names and talking to us. We touched them, hugged them and felt loved too! We spoke and had a question and answer time with the adults in the evening. They have a great knowledge of the bible and we were able to share much needed practical ways to apply God's word in their every day lives. They have been very open and extremely hospitable. In fact, going back the second day my heart was happy to see people I had just met because I felt the love and connection through J.C. Today is Thursday and we visited "mokattam" which is the largest well known garbage city of Cairo. We learned about the education and skills that they teach there and how it has helped that area considerably. We hope to find a way of duplicating a similar concept in the area we have been working with the Coptic church.
Our trip has brought together a group of believers who had not previously met. The connections that have been made are sure to make a huge impact in the future. It has truly been exciting to see what God is doing in Cairo!
