David Slone is a youth pastor who has a ministry to kids who live on the streets and in the city dumps of Brazil. The adjacent picture is of a "dump girl." Slone explains in a recent email:
"I have a ministry to street children, poor children and children who live in the dumps in Brazil. We have taken many thousands of Chick tracts to give to these children. Hundreds, if not thousands, have come to the Lord using the tool you have provided."I have attached the photo of a little girl who lives in the trash dump. You can see she is holding a cup of milk and a chick tract. I thought it was the perfect picture of what we do. We meet the physical needs (hunger in this case) and then we help them come to a personal relationship with Christ using your tracts printed in their language."
