We put a clean shirt on every morning and think nothing of it. What if you had one shirt or no shirt? As we visited the street corners and the young children that live on mats on the corners where they work, you notice how many have little or no clothes. Its not because they are looking for a tan, or like walking barefoot on the hot tar until their feet bleed, they simply don’t have.
“Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry,
And that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?
When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him”
Isaiah 58
Yesterday we spent the day passing out shirts / and tracts to the young ones that have been a regular part of the work. A Brazilian green / yellow shirt with Romans 5:6 printed on the back. 75 shirts were passed out and it was amazing to see the kids so thrilled to have a new shirt of their own. Along the way there were mothers (some as young as 13) with children and we were able to give them clothes that had been brought from home.
10 major intersections now have groups of kids wearing Romans 5:6 as billboards for all to see.
