Tent City Leaders

Last Saturday we were able to sit down with the tent city leaders and discuss our partnership. They told us in Camp Canaan there are 30,000 people and it is split up into 5 different sections. The section that we are serving in is section “B”. They asked us “why are you helping section B they are the useless in this society” and as they said that I thought of the versus: Matthew 25: 40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” These people that we are helping are the poorest of the poor and have had the last pick when it would come to assistance. They would be considered “the least of these”.

GOOD NEWS: The leaders said we give you the “green light” and they are on board with what we are doing. It seems that their hearts have changed (answer to many prayers) from selfishness to helpfulness. We were also able to go with them to look at the piece of land that we are working on and they told us that they want to give us a bigger piece of land.  On this land Gospel Fire hopes to build a school, medical clinic, and a church.
