Julienne; Before and After


Julienne,
This woman makes my heart leap for joy. Her husband kicked her out of her home. She walked a long way and found a plot of land and made a little bush hut. (see first photo) She had to prostitute herself just to get some money to buy food. Out of prostittion she conceived 5 children. One died and number 5 is to be born in a few months.
During rainy season her and the children would get very sick as the hut was leaking everywhere.
In December last year we came to know her and made sure we could find a sponsor for her. And yes, she is sponsored now. In the second photo you see her new home, that is still under construction. She lives in it as the roof is already on. In the past few months she received Christ as her Lord and Saviour.
The first photo is when we first met her. The second and third were just a few weeks ago as we visited her again... WOW !!
I just have the greatest respect for Julienne, she makes my heart leap with joy. Isn't this what it is all about
"Whatever you do to the least of these... You do unto me" . Jesus.
