Evelyn Rae came into our clothing donations room at Lighthouse Mission
today looking for just a couple of things that would be helpful while she was in
the hospital. Turned out that she came to Winnipeg from her First Nations
community with her brother as her companion but he abandoned her shortly after
arriving and she was feeling very scared and alone. Even though she came to the
mission for some pieces of clothing for her to take along, she was by far the
most grateful for the Bible that we gave her and knew that it would bring her
comfort as she dealt with her fears and anxieties about being alone. She took refuge in the verse that we gave her
from Hebrews 13:6 The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere
people do to me? It gave her comfort to know that even though her family and
others left her alone, God would never leave her side.
We just want to thank Give The Word for giving us the Bibles to help
people like Evelyn Rae. We had the right Bible for the right person at the
right time.
