Comfort comes at the right time



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.
