We visited some of the students' homes in the Methare slum and shared the gospel with those families and their neighbors. The homes are built back to back out of corrugated metal, on dirt roads littered with garbage, and with no sewage. They are generally a small room for the whole family to live in. One family we visited kept telling us what a blessing it was that we came to see them and how we were the first people from the U.S. to ever visit their home.

We prayed with each family for specific needs, such as finding a better job, trying to care for their parents, finding and paying for medications, paying for shoes and school supplies, wanting their children to do well in school, and for their children to leave the slums. Team members also spent time in the classrooms teaching various subjects, and playing with children during free time.
