One of my sons is the international director of 24/7, a number of years ago ,he and his family went to live in Ibiza, They were going to set up a ministry with the many tourist who visit that island ,their emphasis was on prayer,it developed in a wonderful way,of course it developed into practical work. Many of the young people put themselves in danger,and so the team would watch out for them, and get them safely back to their hotels. These days the work continues lead by another team, but alas at this time there are very few tourist,owing to the present circumstances. My son said that they were working with the homeless ,helping them in various ways,like washing their clothes. I thought of the words of Augustine when he wrote the following. 'What does love look like?, it has hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy,it has eyes to see the misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like'.
