A tribute to Roza from the Widow's Mite Project

Yesterday I received news that another of our precious widows - dear Roza from the village of Vinga passed away.  Sadly it was expected as she had suffered for some time with gangrene in both legs and a serious heart condition.  Roza was told last year that she needed both her legs amputated.  She refused to consider this as there would have been  no quality of life for her and so she decided to place everything in the Lord's hands.  She lived in a poor area in a mud brick house with earth floors and we visited her with food and a Christmas gift in December..

Last year she asked to be baptized and we give thanks for all the support provided by Pastor Jackie and her team.  Her food, wood and medication needs were all supplied but most importantly she was encouraged spiritually.  She is now safe in the arms of her Lord and Saviour where there is no more pain.  It was indeed a privilege to have known her for many years.
