Most of the residents are experiencing things for the first time in their lives that you and I in America take for granted. This includes sleeping on a mattress for the first time, eating three meals a day, having medical assessments and receiving much needed medicine. These six widows now have the security of a roof over their head and a place they can call home. This is all made possible because of ministry friends like you responding to the message of James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress…” The story does not end here with these six widows moving into the New Pathway Home. This is God’s story and He always has a way of amazing the world and revealing His extraordinary love and grace. As the residents of the New Pathway Home were getting acquainted, two of them, Pi Vei Ja Lhing of Jojam village and Pi Nem Ja Hat of Vokso village found out that they were very good friends from a long time ago. As children they lived in the same village and were close friends. However, when they were about 15 years old their families moved away to different villages and that was the last time they saw each other. Both of them were married and living in different villages. Both of their husbands died leaving them with no income, no one to care for them and no place to live. These two widows were filled with joy when they were chosen to be among the first residents in the New Pathway Home. Now after 55 years they are reunited with each other. They are very happy and praising God for their reunion at the New Pathway Home.
Thank you for being part of God’s story in Myanmar. Jeff Hills VP of Development |
