Marioara, a 65-year-old widow from Romania, cares for her two orphaned grandchildren. The children’s mother fought a long battle with cancer, but eventually the sickness took her life.

The year before Marioara’s daughter passed away, Jericho Road Program staff frequently held Bible studies with her. Now Grandma Marioara receives a monthly food parcel through this program. This helps her provide for her grandchildren.

Marioara’s heart has softened through this trial. She has not yet chosen to follow Jesus, but seems to be open to the Gospel. Pray that she will come to the light of Jesus!
