I met Franco in 2011. He was living in a nearby slum with his family. His mother was a regular attender of a women’s bible study that some of the member of my team lead and Franco came with her to the meetings. One day we went to visit them at home and were shocked […]
We have been making frequent visits to Lillian’s home to check on her progress. Last Sunday afternoon we headed down to visit her. I had talked to her mom the day before and brought her a couple medications to help manage her pain and hopefully help her get a night sleep. I checked her vitals […]
