Episode 922
People who live on the streets, homeless and alone, need one thing first and foremost: LOVE. Pastor Rodrigo Santos, a missionary in South Africa with Grace of God International Church, shares how the homeless and suffering desperately need compassion from other believers. He grew up serving others in Brazil and then was inspired to help show God’s love to the homeless population in Rio, after seeing so many people struggling to survive on the streets. Most people, he says, are not homeless because they want to be, but because of some terrible life circumstance that put them there. As fellow believers, we must come to their aid. And while donations of food and clothing are always appreciated, the most important thing we can do is teach them the Gospel. “Once their mindset changes, everything changes,” Rodrigo says.
