		<description><![CDATA[When our heart ache and frustration is aligned with God’s heart ache and God’s frustration; that’s when vision comes and we are thrust into ministry... A number of years ago a couple of ordinary guys had their hearts broken 100,000 times over on the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It turned out that God’s heart was breaking as well.<p>Post from: <a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org">The Forsaken Children</a><br/><br/><a href="http://theforsakenchildren.org/heartbreakers/">Heartbreakers</a></p>

Working with street children is overwhelming.

Her story encapsulates the beauty of Jesus&#8217; work in a desperate life through God&#8217;s gift of salvation.
