I returned home from Kenya just a couple weeks ago, and there are SO many things I can’t wait to share with you all. God is moving, and His blessings are incredible, and so to all of you who give, who pray and partner with Shadow of His Wings, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Just 4 days before we were to board the plane for Kenya, I got the call that I had been dreading to receive, our precious Clarice had passed away. My heart crumpled in sorrow because I was not going to get to see her again, this side of heaven. After a few moments my tears of sorrow, turned to tears of joy as I knew she was dancing on streets of gold, her legs finally working again, and she was gazing into the face of her precious Jesus. And I know that I will see her again one day, and I knew she will be waiting to greet me.
Our trip did seem so sad without visiting her home, but as God always does, He led the team to meet someone He wanted me to meet. On our way to the airport, we stopped by a hospital to visit the patients there and to pray with them. In the last room was an elderly widow named Ulda. She had been there for over 2 weeks with throat cancer. She told us she knew that she would die there in the bed, alone. Dr. Peter, the owner of the facility, had found her and brought her in to treat her as she has no one in her life. No children, no family, and for the entire time she had been there, we were her first visitors.
I heard the clear voice of God telling us that she needed us. And so, for the next 30 minutes or so, I encouraged her, and before our time together was over, she was praising Jesus. It was a powerful time with the entire team cramming into her room, loving on this woman who just moments before had felt all alone in the world.
Since upon returning home, our Kenya team asked if they could adopt her and care for her as they had Clarice, and of course my answer was, “YES!!” I can’t wait to learn more about her and share her life with all of you. My first good news, she returned to her home, she didn’t die in that hospital bed because I know that God is NOT through with her yet!!!
