Kalomo Distribution
15 desperate recipients were waiting for us to arrive in Kalomo. We drove 2 hours through torrential rain and dark skies to reach them. 5 minutes before we arrive the sun shines ray beams through the blue skies and pillow white clouds…creation waiting for us, rejoicing in anticipation for the hope that will be restored for those waiting. The people sat on the ground, covered in dirt from a lifetime of dragging themselves around. I kneel beside each one of them to find out their stories, their tragedies, their families, their lives…I ask them their hopes…but they look at me blank…silent. I tell them God sees them, He has a purpose for them, a grand testimony of their lives to bring Him glory…they only stare…then I tell them today you get a drivers license, they crack a smile in unbelief. Until…we place them on their very own mobility cart, show them how to ride it, line them up, all 15 side by side. On your marks…set…GO! They take off, leaving the old life behind. Racing one another, laughing hysterically, forward! Into their new future. Hope restored, Dignity renewed, Purpose found, all because of this simple gift of mobility.
