Yesterday during our wheelchair cleaning day (a very warm day on the 5th floor of the church) lunch time stretched out longer than usual. Mr. K was asking questions about the story of the prodigal son. He’s been borrowing two books every week from the pastor, carrying them home in a backpack slung over his shoulders. Yesterday he borrowed a Bible for the first time. When leaving, he carried the backpack in front of him with both hands, saying it held something very precious and he wanted to be careful with it. Please pray for him as he reads God’s Word this week.
With financial donations from individuals and larger companies going toward the great needs of the disaster victims in northern Japan we’re finding giving to Wheelchairs of Hope down. The large trading company that has been helping us ship containers has said they may not do so this year as they are sending all CSR funds toward helping with the disater. Please pray for an important meeting we’ll be having with another company on the 21st. Pray for me to be able to share from my heart and not be so focused on funding that I lose sight of what is truly important–God’s Will to be done here as it is done in heaven.
Thank you for praying for the container that was sent to Cambodia in April. To see some of the photos and reports we’re received back, check out our facebook page at

Here is one report we received.
“Nheak Reaksa (20)
Nheak lives on the Vietnam border in a small village with her parents. She lost the ability to walk when she was a child due to a high fever. Until now she has stayed home and would play with the local children while her parents were busy in the fields. She can now be much more independent and take care of her needs better with her new wheelchair.
