The loss of Elena and Irina


Pastor Jackie has just informed me of the loss of 2 of our dear ladies from the Widow's Mite Project. Elena, seen here lived in the remote village of Banloc, near the Serbian Border. Her life had been very difficult - several years ago her house burned down and for a while she lived in a TP Tent. In latter years she had a very unsettled life living around relatives and friends. We give thanks that she gave her heart to Jesus 2 years ago and was subsequently baptised.

Irina had only this year been added to the program. She lived in the city of Arad and was just 63 years old. She was asthmatic and during a recent hospitalisation period she died of a heart attack. Despite her difficult circumstances she was in good spirits when I visited her in August.

Jackie has confirmed that we have several other ladies to be added to the program from Apple Way. I look forward to meeting them in a few weeks.
