home of the harvest
TRANSCRIPT
Imagine
Being born into a land where warring forces fight over your homeland
Where bomblets litter the ground ready to explode
Imagine your parents not being able to support you due to being injured
Then imagine a place of Hope
Wael 12 years, is one of our children. While in school nearly a month ago, Wael fell and could not hold his feet together. He was diagnosed as having a
virus that hit the nerves and almost paralyzed him. Twelve injections $800 each were given to Wael.
A generator was donated by an Italian organization to NGO's in the south of Lebanon. HoH got it's share and we are grateful to the Lord for His
goodness.
