Helping Abused Women

 

In this video from TV station KFOR in Oklahoma City, you will see the story of a couple who own a trailer park in Edmond, Oklahoma. Motivated by their faith in Christ, they use one of the trailers as a shelter in which abused women can live as they try to get a new start in life.

"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:13-16).

This brought tears to my eyes. Y'all are a fine example of what Jesus was talking about. When you do to others you are doing unto me. Thanks you and keep the good work. I have a family member who is an abused woman. Sometimes its difficult to life my hands in the midst of problems. ( levanto mis manos) but by God's grace we do. Don't stop the work that God has started in you. You are changing lifes...The Orona Family
