The life of a scavenger is similar to the slum dweller. He lives in "make-shift" huts made of scraps gleaned from the garbage dump. Their huts are nestled together in the most deplorable conditions. Their future is built on sand . To effectively minister to these people, Far Corners evangelistic effort must minister to the necessities of the whole man body, soul and spirit.

You don't need a language to express love. It is said, "No man can select his parents, but every man, to some extent, can choose his environment." This is not true of the scavenger. He has no choice in his life or work. Because of his birth as a scavenger, his environment and his life's work is chosen for him by the society who places no value on human dignity. His pay is meager, his home is the city dump, his family lives in filthy conditions with the pigs, dogs, flies and all manner of disease. His children beg, steal and visit dust bins for bits of food for the family. They have no hope for this life or eternity. Far Corners, in as many scavenger colonies as possible, provides clean water, milk for the babies, food for the Children and parents, clothing as needed and a Day Care Center where necessities are provided such as the three R's and Bible teaching. It's a cost-effective ministry. We cannot deny the desire of the poor.
