Job 29:15-16 I was eyes for the blind, and feet for the lame. (16) I was like a father to the poor and took the side of strangers in trouble.

This is one of those moments in time which i will never forget. A very special boy and a heart of kindness. My Inpsiration and motivation to help these children is children like David.
David used to live in Tunga/Zuga village about 300 miles from our mission center in remote Nigeria. This was taken in 2006 while on Mission to the area. David cannot walk at all, and crawls on his hands and knees. he was very ill when we discovered him sitting against his mothers house.
David has polio, and this has paralysed him from the waist down. He was covered in his excrement and urine. There was only his mother to care for him, and she was also sick and lost the power of her left side due to a stroke.
Last week we arranged to David and his mother to travel along with the twins to our Mission Center. There we will do what we can to care for them.
We hope to raise money to buy him a special trike, which he can power with his hands. it costs £280-about $590. This will mean that Little David will be mobile. We have provided two to one girl called divine and a boy called Robert, through two kind supporters of our mission.

Hopefully he will florish and his mother can worry less now and hopefully they can also help you as a way of thank you.

It saddens my heart to see children in this condition through no fault of their own and I continue to pray that David and others like him will experience improvement in their lives and conditions as God works in their lives through the Philadelphia Mission.

Thanks for sharing, my 5 year old is at the computer with me and it’sgood for kids to see how other’s have it around the world. We sponsor a little girl in Indonesia.

A beautiful child. I pray that all of the money comes in to help him and more like him.
Dayonda
He’s pulled through some really tough circumstances, hasn’t he? And his mother. Yes, they need all the help that’s available to them.

My heart and prayers go with your for the following reasons – my late Mother was a polio victim; my husband’s family are African and I know the problems and poverty there; I do what I can to help churches and schools in The Gambia and particularly the poor.
TREVOR IRWIN replied
Rosetta, Thank you for your much valued comments. Gambia is where I would love to go and bring the Philadelphia Mission to help the poor. Finance is low at the moment, but I am trusting Goid to make the way.
Again, Thank you.
