Serenading

This picture was taken in Belle Glade, Florida, a center for Hispanic and Haitian migrant workers. The poverty was unbelievable. Why travel to a third world country when there are many such places close to home? We stayed the weekend, as this was a 9 hour drive from us. We held many other meetings, one after the other, trying to take advantage of the few hours we were there. The men here had just returned from grocery shopping. They were very attentive, even placing their food on the ground by their feet because they didn't want to go in quite yet. To the right hand (out of the picture) is a larger group of men, also listening. They were all very gracious and accepting of the message. This is the vision of the future...preaching without walls...
