La Basurera Ministry

"And God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind.'" -Genesis 9:12

This passage from Genesis was the first thing that came to mind when I took this picture while feeding people at the trash dump. I looked beyond the couple hundred yards of garbage and noticed how lush the land was behind, and the rainbow in the clouds beyond that. It just left me thinking that it doesn't matter where you are, God is there. We're in the poorest country in Central America with the poorest of the poor people, in the trash dump, and for all those desiring to notice his presence, God was still there. Try to explain rainbows all you want scientifically, but they don't make sense to me. Think about it. It's a group of distinguishable colors in the sky in the shape of a semicircle on the horizon. It's as if a child drew it in the sky. You may deny it, but everyone's amused by rainbows. My point being is that there for a second I wasn't in a trash dump. God's creation has a way of taking your mind away from where you really are in your life. Whether you're in beautiful Rocky Mountains or in a trash dump in Nicaragua God desires to reveal his presence to you.
