Korean congregation serves Hispanic/Latino street angels – New Jersey
Tagged: Colombia, day laborers, Guatemala, New Jersey, studentPosted on: December 14th, 2006“Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening, two church vans roll through the streets of Englewood and Palisades Park, picking up anywhere from 15 to 30 day laborers, predominantly men. Most range in age from 25 to 35 years old, and 80 percent are natives of Guatemala.
Back at the church, the guests enjoy a hot meal prepared by congregation members. Next, Luz Cadavid, a native of Colombia who has worked for years in New Jersey as a barber, leads a Bible study in Spanish. Then, the students move into classrooms for practical job-training in air-conditioner repair, electronics, construction, refrigeration or computers.”
