Maheer stood on a ladder, cleaning ceilings at the supermarket where he bags groceries, when the Port of Beirut explosion riveted his city. The pressure of the blast blew him off his ladder, through the air, and onto the ground. He spent two weeks in the hospital recovering from a broken hip and still experiences difficult providing for his family.
He lives in a one-room apartment with his widowed mother and younger brother. They struggle to access the basic items they need to survive.
Local Unto® team members visited his family. They brought him humanitarian aid and told him they had come to share God’s “love, grace, and hope and to remind him of His promises.”
Maheer was so encouraged by the help he received and the message of hope our staff members shared. He told our team,
I sometimes pray and ask God to forgive me. I really don't want to live for this world, but rather I prefer to live for God and walk through the narrow gate. I sometimes do wrong, and I feel bad and unworthy of forgiveness but still I ask for forgiveness.
The team reminded Maheer that God's love covers all our mistakes. They also prayed for him. With tears in his eyes he responded,
You've blessed us so much today with an amount of food we could never afford or get, hygiene supplies, beautiful words and prayer. It's been so long since we've experienced this kind of kindness and love. Thank you so much. God bless you and your organization.
You make a difference when you provide lifesaving aid to people, like Maheer and his family, who live in the toughest places and share HOPE with those who might otherwise never hear about Jesus.
