Mat to Mattress for Widow Lucy Jar

Grandma Lucy Jar was blessed to move from her hard concrete floor into a comfortable bed this week!  This marked 56 widows that Provision of Hope has provided new beds for, since we started this program several years ago.  Along with the new bed we supply a quality mattress, new pillows, sheets, a warm comforter, flooring, a mosquito net, a bedside table and a big bag of rice.  At times we repair roof leaks, or a new door and lock, if needed.  Seeing our widows get off the floor into a cozy bed always warms my heart!

LIBERIA NEEDS BIBLES

Nothing brings me more joy than giving out Bibles! I know what the Word of God does for me, and I want others to experience the same God encounters that I have experienced while reading my Bible. “The Bible is my source of strength. It is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 It gives me hope and comfort. I get to know God, His character, and His Ways. The Word of Godis alive.
