THE FRIDAY STORY - Joy Bubbled Up In Her!

Peru Mapa
This story comes from a Masters Program group in Houston that funded and then helped distribute a container of wheelchairs in Peru. 
For those of you unaware of what the Masters Program is, check out http://www.mastersprogram.org.  The wonderful news is that the program is spreading all over the USA and Free Wheelchair Mission is one of their favorite programs.

JesusaJesusa Cordova was very quiet and somber as she let her daughter-in-law tell us that she is 87 years old. Jesusa’s back gave out and she has had to stay in bed for the last year. When her daughter-in-law said it will now be possible for her to go outside and go to church, she started to smile.  But, when we got out the Polaroid camera, she lit up and became very animated and chatty with her daughter in law. She giggled like a school girl and was so excited to have her picture taken with her new wheelchair.  It was wonderful to see the joy bubble up in her, and her daughter-in-law was so happy and grateful for the chair and the freedom it would bring to both of them.
