Another rich day....

A miracle happened today! Yesterday, on our first day out, we came across a man in the street who was in a wheelchair-begging. We noticed his feet were dragging on the ground with no foot rest. Cristy, our FWM partner, said we could bring him a chair tomorrow. To our delight he was on the same street this morning as we began our day. We pulled over on this busy street, talked with him (Saul) and unloaded the FWM chair. Upon further examination the wheels were running on bare metal and the spokes were broken on one wheel. We put him in his new chair and his smile speaks volumes! His friend, Carlos, who once lived in Los Angeles, spoke perfect English, interpreted for us and helped us pray over our new Christian friend. It was a spontaneous opportunity the Lord presented to us. We hope we will see our Christian brothers tomorrow!!

Anna and Jennifer at our distribution at Suchitoto. We couldn't get a smile out of Jennifer until she was placed in her chair. When we starting wheeling her around, she squealed in delight and joy and a non-stop smile appeared!




Brenda and Ali at the distribution in Suchitoto. Brenda was born with hydrocephalus but is such a joyful young lady of 16 years. Her mom and dad were in tears as they received the chair and pretty soon we were all in tears of joy.

The recipients at this lovely distribution each spoke of their gratitude for FWM and their new American friends and all their friends back in the USA who care enough to fund these chairs to those in need and change the lives of so many families.



Toward the end of our day we made several home distributions. After a long drive down a dirt road and a pretty long walk over several bridges (David is pulling our chair) we came upon a very impoverished village to make our delivery to Manuel who suffers from Parkinson's disease and paralysis.



The sentiment of the day from our friend, Delores- God is good and faithful and he loves us all!
