Righteous concern for the elderly

In early August this year,2020, Bishop/Pastor Bita James Oloo contacted me concerning a village elderly woman who was living in a dangerous old structure which was near falling down. A plea for help went out, and donors from Augusta Georgia, U.S.A. and in short time funds were received to help building a new brick house for this elderly saint and her grandchildren, orphaned due to the sudden death of their mother. This is the pictorial story of this sacrificial event. Danny and Lynette McDowell, New Testament Fellowship International, U.S.A.

Sun, Aug 23, 11:18 AM (1 day ago)to my Dad, Am sorry for the delay of this report. We had network failure for two days, it has just normalized this evening. I bought a bed, good quality mattress and a good quality pair of  bed sheets. She almost fainted when we arrived with the gifts. she made that trill until she began to cry. She took hold of my both hands, put them on her forehead and prayed for me in tears.   I told her that it's brother Danny, his wife, and the N.T.F.I. organization who have given her the gifts. She lifted both hands in the air and prayed for you and asked me to send her very special blessing and appreciation to both of you.  Dad, honestly speaking, this gift of a house and beddings is a great testimony in the whole village about the good works of god through our ministry. Everybody is thankful and praising God about it. Thank you so much dad for choosing to partner with me amidst all your friends from Uganda, and for accepting God's call to reach out to the needy and preach the gospel to the poorest of the poor. I am so blessed, thankful and deeply humbled before God. Son.
