Sweet Transition Taking Place

 The Lord JESUS came to "preach good news to the poor...to heal the broken hearted...to comfort all who mourn...to give them beauty for ashes..." Isaiah 61:1-3
And this is one of the most precious things in life, to actually witness the above ministry of Christ taking place within people's lives. The family below was in obvious torment, not knowing much of anything about JESUS or the Father's love. The mother was in an electrical shock in 2017, so cannot do much work. The father died of Covid in 2020. The house was in pathetic condition, literally with only one small wall and a door around the house. Some of the rest of the walls were just pieces of tin, clothing, etc. It was painfully obvious that these 2 twin girls (their English names Mary & Martha) knew little of happiness in their lives. 
In His mercy, He brought us across their path through Bro. Hanock, and now they have temporary screen material around their home until we're able to help them with something more permanent. They're now getting food on a regular basis, and the girls were just enrolled in the 11th grade 2 or 3 days ago, the mother not burdened down with trying to pay their fees. And yesterday or today, the girls got new bicycles so that they can ride to school each day. I think you can see the change in their countenance in the photos below as they stand with their new bicycles. 

The mother is in the middle, Mary & Martha with 
her perhaps the 1st day we came into contact with them.

The "house" they have been living in, zero security. You think
 that door will keep anyone (including rats & snakes) out?

New bicycles for Mary & Martha. Hallelujah!
