Today I visited Imani and her whole family so that I could give them a new Swahili Bible. They are old friends of ours. They used to live in the same apartment complex as we did and would come to our apartment all the time. Her mom recently had a stroke and her back is feeling very painful. 

Their family now lives in a house. Imani and her two kids moved in to help take care of her mom. We counted at least 12 people living there! When we brought in some donated food, they were really happy. They asked my dad to come once a month to pray with them and bring them more food.

Imani’s mom couldn’t move one side of her face because of the stroke she had and so she had trouble talking. She was excited when she saw the Bible. She was rubbing her belly and saying that while we gave them food to eat, we also gave them spiritual food which they really needed too. She said that even though we are old friends, we gave them something new.

I’m glad I could help this family with food to eat and also spiritual food that they could get by reading their new Bible. I hope that God’s Word will help Imani’s family a lot by telling them the Good News about Jesus in their language.
