One Christmas, a wonderful miracle took place on the city rubbish dump at Juarez, Mexico. In response to a prophecy, a local church just across the United States border prepared a dinner for the 125 people who live by scavaging on the dump. However, over 250 turned up! The miracle of God's grace and provision that followed radically altered the outlook of this small group of Catholic Christians and their leader Father Rich Thomas. On the rubbish dump, there was no water, no sanitation, no education, and no hope. Everyone had TB and the stench was unbearable. Some who worked the dump didn't even know it was Christmas day... All this was to change. In the greater miracles that followed, these outcasts of human society responded in repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The film contains the eye-witness accounts of many people who were challenged by these events in Juarez.
