A FAMILY INJUSTICE July 2016

What is the biggest favour someone has done for you?

26-year-old Justus has not been able to work since a mining accident crushed his spine ten years ago. He is cared for by his mother Mirikah who also cares for his elderly father John. Notes to leader: the picture is of Mirikah and Justus. Justus is unable to walk because of the accident.

‘Life was very hard for the family ‘Life was very hard for the family. To make matters worse Mirikah had to fetch water from a long way away. Then members of their community campaigned for them to have a water tank built next to their house’ Notes to leader: The family live outside the programme area for Kigezi’s work, but Kigezi saw how great their need was, and felt moved to help.

Today it takes Mirikah minutes to fetch water! She has more time and energy to care for her family. Now she grows vegetables in her garden. So the family are able to eat better too.

‘We can never thank you enough for all the blessings that came to us with the water tank. May God bless you abundantly’ Notes to leader: Justus at home with a craft he made. Mirikah

PRAYER Pray for healing for Justus Thank God for the tank that Kigezi built Pray that Mirikah would feel God’s peace Notes to leader: You could tell everyone to pray in groups, or lead them in a prayer from the front
