Six-year-old Ashley from Peru lives with significant disabilities and frequent seizures, which started when she was a baby. ❤️‍🩹

Her mother, Yolanda, has been her dedicated caregiver while navigating the challenges of being a single mother caring for all her children. Unable to afford a wheelchair, she improvised by carrying Ashley on her back using a sheet.

Yolanda shared the difficulties of her situation with us: 👇
 
“I can never leave Ashley alone. If I laid her on the couch or the bed, she would roll off, fall on the floor, and hurt herself. I learned how to tie Ashley to my back using a sheet, and I carried her with me everywhere I went...” 🙏

Yolanda’s story is much more common than you might think. By God’s grace, we were able to provide Ashley with a custom-fit wheelchair. But the need for mobility, especially among children, is still great. 

This holiday season, you can meet the practical needs of a child like Ashley. Just $250 covers the cost of a pediatric wheelchair and a Bible, giving a family like Yolanda’s the precious gift of mobility and hope. 💌

Do you honor God’s holy name? 

When you’re tempted to use his name carelessly, pause and remember his worth. The way you speak about God reveals what you truly think of him. So, let’s strive to be good witnesses, honoring his name with the reverence it deserves.

How are you learning to be holy as he is holy? 

Whether it’s through reading the Word, praying with an eternal focus, or practicing obedience through suffering, growing in holiness is a powerful way to prepare for the Savior’s return! 💙

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ve probably heard Yupin’s incredible story. If you’re new here (or just want an update), here’s a snapshot of her journey… 👇

In her remote Thai community, where Buddhism and karma often overshadow hope, Yupin has faced immense challenges as a single mother to her daughters, Praewa and Air, who has cerebral palsy. ❤️

Years ago, Yupin’s journey was deeply challenging, marked by rejection and discrimination due to Air’s disability. But everything changed when she heard the Gospel at a Joni and Friends International Family Retreat. All week long, Yupin and her girls experienced the love of Christ firsthand. They were treated with acceptance and dignity, and by the end of the week, Yupin gave her life to Jesus and was baptized! 🙌

“The love of God is at Family Retreat in a way you won’t find anywhere else,” Yupin shares.

Just days after Family Retreat, Air was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia, beginning a two-month battle for her life. With a heavy heart, Yupin had to let doctors place her daughter on a ventilator, knowing they’d be separated. But instead of giving in to despair, she found strength in her faith, trusting that God’s plan for Air was for her good and his glory.

Unable to visit Air in the hospital, Yupin decided to volunteer at our local Wheels for the World outreach, serving other families impacted by disability. The hope of the Gospel had changed her life, and she was eager to share it with everyone she could. 

By God’s grace, Air soon recovered! Yupin continues to serve God and support families facing similar challenges. Through studying physical therapy and becoming president of a parent’s club, she’s become a steadfast resource and advocate for many. 💙

She remains connected with Joni and Friends, using her small handicrafts business to help cover Air’s medical expenses and empower other moms to earn income for their children with disabilities. This has improved their quality of life and brought Yupin closer to Jesus!💌

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸 

Today, we honor the incredible sacrifices made by Veterans like Edward and their families. As John 15:13 reminds us, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Is hardship better than health?

A life without trouble or sickness is certainly a blessing. But perhaps having trouble and knowing God’s grace is a far better thing!

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:20-21

Once you see your afflictions as a way of cleaning up your heart and getting you ready for heaven, you’ll view them as a gift, just like Joni! Head to the comments to share ways that suffering has made you more like Jesus. 💙
