Wednesday as we were ready to 'head up the hill' from the school to the hotel, Doug spotted a man walking up the street wearing only plastic bags on his feet. We had just moved a barrel of shoes in the storage room, so Doug hollered for Jose to have the man stop. Then he went and got a pair of used but good shoes and gave the man. The photo shows him taking off the plastic. We bought him a cold drink and some food, gave him God's blessing, and watched him walk up the hill with good shoes that fit him VERY well.

What a wonderful story! It just takes the heart of a servant and the eyes of Jesus to see the needs. The wonder is in overcoming fear (of whatever!)and using our resources to meet the need. When I think of Doug and Ralph in La Palma that's what I see.
