On our recent trip to Cebu we took the opportunity to visit a mission in one of the garbage dumps. Families live in the garbage dumps and go through the trash looking for recyclable items as their only means of income. The level of poverty we saw is unimaginable.
We were able to serve through The International Gospel Center.
We had the privilege of visiting IGC, which sits on the edge of the dump and is about the only building with real walls that we saw in the area. We were able to hang out with the children who are benefiting from this organization. IGC buses in children from several dump areas around cebu,
on our visit there were over 200 children brought in.
Hoyer was able to participate in the church service and then help pass out treats to the children. It was a remarkable day and we all left feeling not only blessed and lucky for ALL we have, but also amazed at how faithful the children and volunteers are. No matter their circumstance, they remain faithful and hopeful. It was an eye-opener for us on many levels.
There is more we can do to help. We can pray for the children, for their families and we can fulfill some of the needs of great organizations that are on the ground, doing good work.
We can attest for this organization. To learn more, click here.
Hoyer was a little nervous, but go up on stage!
Lots of sweets and treats for the kids!
