Goats from Sheep

Priscah, who operated a nursery school, became too weak physically to care for children, including her own. She had to close her nursery school.

One Less Beggar

John Ntahomvukiye didn't ask to be born with two crippled legs, but he was. Living in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda, his handicap consigned him to one occupation—begging on the street. There weren't any other options, and John cherished no hopes for anything better. Thankfully, however, God did.
