Mobility beneficiaries in Gujarat, India

Friends, these are the Mobility carts that we have delivered in Ethiopia. I was thrilled to see tonight that they are now established in India. We have a mission there, and I am sure that they can make use of these wheelchairs.

The organization that builds these wheelchairs was recently re-named, Mobility International. They require that the wheelchairs be given free of charge to the poor in developing countries.
We have a shop near our home here in Moundridge, Kansas, but there are more than 40 of these shops throughout the United States now. Volunteers build them, and they are given free of charge to indigent people throughout the world in need of them. Herb and I have seen these people, and many drag their bodies across the ground with blocks of wood in their hands to avoid lacerations. It costs $250-$300 to build each one, and they are life-savers for many.
Keep these chairs in mind if your local church is supporting missions in other countries. Mobility International is great to work with.

The number of illegal migrants crossing our southern borders, trekking the desert I hike, increased between February and March (the same months retirees from the North migrate to Arizona.) Trump would have us imagine those coming from the south as invaders, most of them drug dealers, criminals.

On TV this morning camera footage out of Mexico showed a large group making camp at a city playground. Children play on swing sets while women sort through piles of donated clothing, searching for items that will fit their families.

These women and children are among the Honduran asylum seekers Trump would have us fear.

For those of us who have…
