THE FRIDAY STORY

The following story comes from our Chilean distribution partners, Steve & Grace Colon:

Juan Fernandez in his new wheelchairJuan Fernández is 74 years old and lives in the small town of Lo Espejo, Chile. Six years ago Juan found out that he has diabetes and because of his diabetes he has serious problems with his legs. This has been a major issue because he needs to visit the doctor every day to have his daily cures on his feet and legs. He has been asking around to borrow a wheelchair from Hospitals which, unfortunately, is not always possible. Jose retired and has a small monthly pension month.  He lives with his wife, two sons, and two grandkids, so they barely make it. He has been praying everyday for a wheelchair so that he can move around and do everyday things.

…Imagine how joyful he was when he heard that he had a Free Wheelchair waiting for him and that The Lord had answered his prayers.
