Just try to imagine being a child who is unable to walk or play with other children.
Just try to imagine being a mother who is unable to help your severely crippled child.
Just try to imagine being a person who has been crippled since childhood and is unable to leave home because you cannot walk.
You don't have to imagine it; you can see it right now in a short, 3 minute YouTube video that reveals the reality of such an unimaginable life.
In the video you'll watch stories of people who cannot walk. They will bring tears to your eyes and hurt to your heart. More importantly, my hope is that it will compel you to give (as it did me) a small donation to an organization that gives mobility, freedom, and joy to the most impoverished people in the world. $59.20 produces, ships and delivers a unique wheelchair to all parts of the world—and even more money can help an entire region! My friend, Mike, works for this organization that meets the needs of such people. It is called Free Wheelchair Mission. (Mike has no idea that I’m writing about him or FWM today.)
Will you join me this Christmas season in giving a gift to someone you’ll never meet while on earth (perhaps in heaven), BUT whose life will be POWERFULLY changed on earth because of your gift? Simply click here for more information or donate one wheelchair—I did it this morning; it was REALLY easy. Maybe you can share some of your extra Christmas cash, return a gift that you'll never use and donate the cash to FWM, use part of a gift card or write and mail a check in memory of someone you love?
Christmas—for my family—is the season in which we celebrate the gift that God gave to the earth two thousand years ago--Jesus. Because we have a God who loves us so much, so unconditionally, so personally, we are compelled to give in the same way.
Will you give a wheelchair—which will take a little change out of your bank account (about $59.20 worth of change), yet have a big result in one man, woman, boy or girl's life?
Let me know if you GIVE—let’s see how many wheelchair donations one blog can inspire in the next week—okay? FYI: Though MANY of you post on my facebook account, if you and your family give a wheelchair, please make a comment here. Okay? By the way, I don’t receive any kickback of any sort if you give—Mike doesn’t even know I’m doing this! I’d love to think that LCBR caused at least 10 wheelchairs to be donated!! Yes?
Merry Christmas and be encouraged,
Becky
My dental assistant was driving home one day and heard about this wheel chair ministry and gave right away. She had recently got a small inheritance and turned the whole thing over to FWM. Then another person I knew enlisted her whole family to cut back so they could pull their resources to get a wheel chair. I am going to look at my things tonight and see what I can return to contribute. It woudn't surprise me if the things I am thinking about don't come to $59. I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteI got a wheelchair donation for Christmas! So 2 wheelchairs so far! B Come on!

I know it's after Christmas, but this is a gift I guess that is never late. My husband and I are going to give enough for 2 chairs and his employer has a matching gift program. What an incredible outreach to share Jesus.
