  • THE FRIDAY STORY

    This story comes from our partner in Chile, Steven and Grace:

    The town of Melipeuco is deep inside the country of Chile - almost 12 hours from Santiago alongside the border of Argentina. When we got there they took us to a radio station and a special program dedicated to the wheelchair distribution. We were able to give the mission testimony and said that if anyone needed a wheelchair to contact the local Mayor. Then we went to the town plaza and distributed 28 wheelchairs.

    Doris really broke our hearts. She is 45 years old. Diabetes took her sight and ability to walk. When she became blind five years ago her husband abandoned her.  She was left with four kids. She lives in a house that is 3X6 meters with no bathroom. It was amazing to see her now with her wheelchair. She was so happy. She stayed till the end of the afternoon thanking God for this miracle.

    Mr. Simercindo is a very sweet old man. He was farmer working in the fields and the oxen pulling the plow went wild and ran over him with the plow, twenty years ago. He never had a wheelchair.   

    It is amazing.The further you go into the country, the more you see the need. People cannot believe that this is true and is happening.

    We pray everyday for everybody that is helping Free Wheelchair Mission to change the world.
