As we walked out of our unit, I saw the Burmese mom of a 1 year old slowly dragging a bag of trash down the street to the dumpster. When she looked back towards her unit in the next building, she saw her son crawling backwards down the steps to follow her.
She asked me to watch him from where I was; I asked to take the trash bag for her. She said it was heavy and dripping, but I didn’t care. She thanked me and ran back to keep her son out of the road.
Once we got to the pop-up market at the bottom of the hill, we ran into a Nepali mom who had bags full of food. She asked Raven to watch her bags as her special needs kids were being dropped off from school. She couldn’t find her money on her person or outside. She ran back to her apartment to look, but her money was gone.
She was unable to buy the groceries and had to get home to her kids. By God’s grace, I had extra cash in my pocket, which I used to buy the bags of food. She was very surprised and grateful when we knocked on her door!
We are thankful for opportunities to serve our community by meeting felt needs in addition to Gospel Truth proclamation! Thank you so much for partnering and praying for our mininstry.
