One day a young man, who wanted to "help" us, called through the gate where we stay, and told us that he brought these 4 or 5 children to us that needed shoes. So Peter asked a worker to please unlock the gate. When that happened, many more than these few children ran through the gate, bringing with them adults, neighborhood friends, several dogs (that got our dogs barking & carrying on), etc. It was such chaos, (because I wasn't prepared to put the shoes in order), that after about 15 minutes I had to ask the worker to lock the gate. Then as those who received shoes were leaving, more squeezed through! We worked as hard and fast as we could, and finally had to ask everyone to leave before the Hotel staff asked US to leave!
We sat back and thanked the Lord for those who actually received shoes, and a couple of Bibles that we were able to hand out. But as much as we want to help the people, we must do this in an orderly way, so that they know the REASON we do this is in the name of Jesus, and want them to have a Bible to know our Savior and how HE can make the difference in their lives.Please pray for us as we serve Him in this way.
