Supporting the Homeless

A familar site of someone
checking the bins for food
I am aware that I have written very little about the Homeless since being here in Arad.  Our friend, Cipri is having a well earned break from this very challenging  ministry following some difficult experiences earlier in the year where he was wrongly arrested along with many of the homeless that he has supported on the street for many years.  Sadly there is a lot of prejudice against the homeless and they are an embarassment to the police who regularly round them up and take them into custody.  Sure there is crime on the street but I doubt very much whether they are guilty of everything they are being charged with.  We pray that God will plant some-one else on the streets to provide another ministry.  In the meantime when we are out and come across a beggar or someone homeless we take the time to show them love and care.
This young girl was found outside
Danny's apartment.  She was given a
toilet bag which we brought over from
Wales and some food supplied by
Danny and Adina.

I am seen here talking to
2 homeless girls begging
outside one of the city
supermarkets late last night
