The man with TB

Written 29.04.2015 14:12 under Archive

Dear friends who has sent money for the man with TB.
 
We have been so touched by the support that you have shown this family that has been having such difficulties. We want from the bottom of our hearts that Jesus will richly bless you for your love and care for them. We have just visited the family who came to see us at our school, as it is very close to their home.

It was so good to see them again and experience the big change from the first time we met them. We could see that there were a change in their eyes.
We were sitting in the dining room and talking together and you should have seem them when we brought the news that we have friends that are willing to help them pay for one year rent including power and food for the table. The poor man started to cry with joy and he said: “Since you have started to take care of us as a family I have felt a big change in my sickness. Now I can sleep at night as the burden has been lifted off my shoulders regarding how I was to take care of my family by paying so many different things.” While he was telling us this he took our hands and thanked us so deeply for the good news that we had brought them.
All this help we have managed to assist them with is totally and utterly because we have dear friends like you. Your help has made it possible to help them to turn around their destiny so that this family can get back on top again.
 
The man himself was very optimistic and he believes in healing even though he is very ill. But I did notice that when he coughed he did it very carefully and held his chest.
 
I have so many warm greeting from this family whom says THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE SHOWN TO THEM.
They are praying for you and wishes that God will bless you and give you everything that you may need.
I personally would also like to say thank you so much. It is so big when we get to help people in need..

 
 
Love
Tabitha.

    [post_content] =>  En masaipige ved navn Ruth Lucas, som går i Form 4 (Secondary school), bor sammen med sin mor og mormor her i Arusha. A Maasai girl by the name of Ruth Lucas who is in Form 4 (secondary school) lives with her mother and grandmother in Arusha. 
Faderen er forsvundet, og de har ingen kontakt haft med ham i flere år. Ruth er meget dygtig i skolen. Skolen, hun går på, har sponsoreret hendes skolegang, da de er så fattige. Af forskellige årsager er hendes skole netop blevet lukket, og Ruth har skullet ud og finde en anden skole.
 
Moderen har ikke råd til at sende Ruth i en anden skole. Ruths bedstefar, som er masai, vil have Ruth tilbage til masailandet. Han mener, at en pige ikke skal tage en uddannelse, men i stedet følge masaiernes tradition for piger: at blive gift. Masaierne mener, at kun drengene skal have en uddannelse.
 
Ruths mor fortalte, at Ruths morfar havde fået et tilbud fra en ældre, velhavende masai, der vil betale en meget stor brudepris i form af mange køer for at få Ruth. Ruth har været helt utrøstelig, for hun ønsker at fortsætte sin skolegang, få en uddannelse og selv vælge sin mand, når den tid kommer. Derfor kom moderen og Ruth til vores kontor for at bede om hjælp.
 
I tro sendte vi Ruth på en god, kristen skole, hvor hun er meget glad for at være.
 
Vi har fået en sponsor, der vil gøre hendes Form 4 færdig. Men Ruth ønsker at forsætte yderligere to år, så hun afslutter med en studentereksamen. Hvis der er nogen, som gerne vil hjælpe hende videre, så skriv til os eller send en gave til vores missionskonto. Pengene skal øremærkes ”Ruth”.
 




 The father disappeared and they have had no contact with him for several years. Ruth is a bright girl in school. Her school decided to sponsor her schooling because they are really poor. For various reasons the school recently shut down and Ruth had to find another school.
 
The mother cannot afford to send Ruth to another school. Ruth’s grandfather is a Maasai and he wants to have her back in Maasai land. He does not want a girl to get eductaed, but instead follow the Maasai traditions for girls: to be married. Maasais think that only boys should get educated.
 
Ruth’s mother told me that Ruth’s grandfather had received an offer from an elderly, wealthy Maasai who wanted to pay a very large dowry in the form of many cows in order to marry Ruth. Ruth had been desperate because she wanted to stay in school, get her education and choose her husband when the time was ripe. For this reason the mother and Ruth came to our office asking for help.
 
We trusted God and sent Ruth to a good, Christian school where she is thriving.
 
We received a sponsor who will support her until Form 4 is completed. But Ruth wishes to continue for another two years and graduate from High School. If any of you would like to support Ruth for a few more years please write us or send a gift to our missions account. Please earmark it “Ruth”.
