We have been trying to help one man out now for a couple of months. Yura is in his 50's and has a physical disability. During the winter months he got really sick and his legs would no longer work. He was living by some hot pipes near the railway station. We called an ambulance for him to only see him two days later back at the pipes and in the same condition. This time we got the police to call the ambulance and didn't see him for maybe a month. Then we see him back at the pipes, having had a toe or two amputated. This time we drive him to the local government run scheme to help him find a place to live. We worked on his medical requirements and they said that there would be a place for him in the shelter. We left him there hopeful. The next ministry day we see him again back at the pipes. We are so frustrated, we don't know what to do and have done all we can for him! Today we did the same without much luck. However, we met Slava, one of our homeless friends who tells us of the place he has just lived at and said they take anyone. We found a glimmer of hope. We went to this big house with a big gate! It was a Christian rehab centre!!!! They do take anyone and tomorrow we will drive him there and he will no longer be cold or hungry on the streets. Praise God!!! We are learning to be a voice for those who have no voice and that God can make a way!
