Putting up iron sheets and mud on the house of a single mum is more than just construction—it is a gift of hope and stability. This hardworking mother, who has endured countless challenges, finally sees a safe shelter being raised for her children. The iron sheets protect from rain and the scorching sun, while the mud walls offer warmth and a firm covering. Each step in the building process is a testimony of God’s love being shown practically through caring hands.
The work of putting mud between poles and fixing iron sheets on top may look simple, but to this family, it is life-changing. For years, they have struggled with leaking roofs and crumbling walls, often sleeping in the cold and unsafe conditions. Now, as the structure takes shape, the children can smile knowing they will sleep under a roof that will not fall apart in the middle of the night. The single mum, who once felt abandoned, now feels the touch of God through the compassion of others.
This act of kindness is not just about shelter; it is about restoring dignity. A home made with mud and iron sheets may be modest, but for this family, it is a palace of peace compared to the suffering they endured before. It stands as a symbol that they are not forgotten and that the Lord provides for His people. Through this new home, both the mother and her children will remember the love of Christ that reached out to them in their time of need.
