If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
I went along to prayer group last night, and spoke to the person organising a weekly meeting for people interested in being involved in community/ministry in our 'dodgy suburb'. When I say 'spoke', we went to dinner at the local food court and talked for a couple of hours. It was a good time, and hopefully profitable too.

StreetWar is a community blog devoted to Salvation Army reports of what God's doing on the streets - and off them! - among the disadvantaged, the dispossessed and the untouchables of our world.
If you would like to be involved and add reports on what's happening in your area, please drop Naomi an email - we'd love to have more people on the team. Or if you have a one-off or occasional report to make, feel free to email Evangeline and it'll go in. Don't be shy - tell God's people what he's doing.
