Doves, How blessed most of us are in comparison to these poor people and the children....oh the children.  Their only hope is for Yeshua to come for them while they are still at the age of not being held accountable.  Notice within this article that the Christian Churches ignore them.  Come quickly Our Lord Yeshua.  g

A Living Spring Church/Daily Jot missionary team has been in Ghana West Africa all

Week. Here is the first of our reports.

Agbogbloshie--Sodom and Gomorra

It stretches for over four miles on the banks of the Korle Lagoon. Journalists

Say that over 40,000 Ghanians live there. It is one of the filthiest places on earth.

It is noted for its rampant crime, human trafficking, abject poverty and toxins.

It is called Agbogbloshie, nicknamed Sodom and Gomorra of Ghana. The smell alone

Is enough to drive away anyone. It is a mixture of human waste, burning plastic,

Trash, vegetables, meats and other foodstuffs, charcoal and fire. It is a dumping

Place for outdated electronics--computers from Europe, the United States, United

Kingdom and Japan. People of all ages start fires and burn away the plastic from

The computers for whatever they can salvage and sell.

It is a predominantly Muslim community. There are some Christians mixed in. They

Live in somewhat harmony, bonded together by the mere need to survive each day.

The Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa, Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic

Development, and OPEC Fund for International Development have pumped thousands

Of dollars into this "dump" to dredge the lagoon, restore its surroundings, and

Move the people away. But it keeps growing in filth and in population--no sign of

The money unless it is the building of small mosques throughout the area. The government

Has even offered the people land to live on in an attempt to move them out. They

Will not budge.

Then there are the children. They have no or little education. They have no clean

Clothes. They are the workers in the lagoon holding the sticks of computer cords

To the fire that burns away the plastic coating. They are the ones who are breathing

In the toxic fumes that have been proven to cause brain damage and other health

Problems. They are also the ones nobody seems to care about. All over Accra, the

Capital city of Ghana, are large billboards promoting this preacher or that apostle

Or this prophet. The signs are calling people to healing services, to prophecy conferences,

To self improvement meetings. The featured speakers wear nice clothes, fancy watches

And have that "far away" holy look about them.

One of the billboards is near a side entrance to Agbogbloshie. It says "Have the

Good Life." The people passing by seem to miss the irony. These are the people

Who are unclean. They are untouchable. The authorities want to move them away in

Order to clean up the dump and get rid of the crime and disease. The Christian

Churches ignore them. The Muslim leadership uses them. The power of the gospel is

Hardly found. And if it is, it is solely by the grace of YHVH because not many humans

Would dare care. Somehow, in walking through this slum, I keep hearing the last

Part of Matthew 25:45 ringing in my ears: "Verily I say unto you, Since you did

It not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me."

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
