Sight and Scripture

     She is the embodiment of joy.

     Her smile is infectious and her work ethic is strong.  She is always full of words of encouragement and strives to do her best at her daily tasks.

     Lucy is a cook at the sponsorship program in Buziika. 

     You may find Lucy sorting beans, cooking large pots of rice, or talking about the Lord.

     "I just want to serve God.  With everything in me, I want to serve the Lord so much," she beams.

     She is proud of her children and encourages them to do their best in school.  She sets an excellent example of how to spread God's love. 

     One day, Lucy shared that she was not able to read her Bible anymore.  The words had begun to blur together.  She mourned being able to read her Bible daily until she finally decided to share her struggle. Only several weeks before she confided in us about her vision, we had a donation of reading glasses in the Amazima in-country office.  We were thrilled to allow Lucy to sort through the reading glasses and pick the ones that made the words turn crisp and clear on the page. 

      Lucy radiated with happiness as she looked down and clearly read the Karamojong language off the pages of Hebrews.  She was even kind enough to share one of her favorite scriptures, Isaiah 55:1, with us in Karamojong:

                                   “Come, all you who are thirsty,    

come to the waters;

and you who have no money,    

come, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

    without money and without cost."
