Up in the Dumps

The Davao City Landfill is in the strangest of places about thirty minutes out of town. Location is everything and this particular place has a “million-dollar” view of remote jungle mountains. I’m not sure who thought such a place would be worthy of a landfill, but it is also home to many poor families who live next to the dump and make their livelihood by rummaging through the smelly garbage and recycling whatever they can find of value. Sadly, many of these people are sick.

I drove the team to minister house to house to these precious people. One young man was unable to move and coughing up blood. After the team prayed for him, he smiled and almost immediately recovered. Hallelujah!
