Today our team served a woman named Mary. She would crawl to church on Sundays but it got to the point that it hurt her so much she couldn't attend anymore. Her knees were swollen and she had severe hip pain. She now is able to attend church again in her new wheelchair and praise God with her brothers and sisters!
Another recipient named Bosco was just 2 weeks old when he contracted malaria. He was taken to the hospital but the doctor told his mother to go home because he wouldn't survive. He appeared to be lifeless for 3 days but then came back to life! Praise God! Bosco has cerebral palsy and for the 15 years of his life he has sat on the ground and crawled (moolu means crawl in the Luo language of the Acholi people). Today, Bosco received his first wheelchair and can now sit with his family!
Thank you Lord for using people like us for your kingdom!
The team served 56 people today and 33 dedicated their lives to the Lord!
"He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor.For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and on them he has set the world." - 1 Samuel 2:8
Supplying wheelchairs to those who have spent a lifetime dragging themselves from place to place, and in doing so, demonstrating the love of Jesus; sharing the love of Christ with those who hearts are ripe and ready for the one and only Savior. The workers are, indeed, few as the scriptures tell us. You all are among those workers. God will surely use your blog updates about sharing the love of Jesus, and those accepting Jesus into their hearts as Lord and Savior. God will use those updates to inspire others to do the same. Thank you for your updates!
