WILLS POINT, TX – When Mahina lost sight in one eye after an accident, a pastor’s compassionate care met her in a time of fear and need. Pastor Teran prayed, comforted the couple and paid for medicine, then continued his visits. Mahina slowly recovered in full. Alongside that physical care, she and Yuma returned to church and found renewed hope in Christ’s love.
Pain shot through Mahina’s eye. A piece of the wood she was cutting had splintered, flying into her eye. Though the wound did not bleed, the pain lingered, as did the effects. In the days to come, Mahina discovered her vision had been impaired by the injury. With no money for medical treatment, Mahina suffered helplessly. Would she ever regain full sight?
Mahina and her husband, Yuma, lived in a small village largely dependent on agriculture. Years of physical labor as farmers had taken its toll on their bodies. The couple could no longer work as hard as they once did, but work they must. With no children, they had no one to care for them. They had no one to help them when Mahina needed medical care for her eye.
Then GFA pastor Teran came to their door. Many times before, Pastor Teran had visited the couple, encouraging them and inviting them to church. Years earlier, Mahina and Yuma had attended church regularly. Now, they lived as they pleased and paid no heed to the pastor’s words.
