A Letter from a Friend
The following is a letter from one of the ladies who has participated in our programs. She wanted to express her thanks and love and how Triumphant Mercy has blessed her.
*note that the following was translated from Arabic*
This special hour that I spend with the loved ones who are devoted to our Beloved Redeemer Jesus Christ.
I want to thank first the leader of this center, the servant of God, Mrs. Nouna, and her family, for establishing this social center.
Yes, it is the Triumphant Mercy Center whose first and last goal is human dignity and development for a better to be person, and this is what we need now in Lebanon. Triumphant Mercy Center played a big role in my life, my personality, my self-development and my self-confidence, which prompted me more and more to visit the center with strong eagerness and without hesitation. I miss them all, they are my second family. They are my psychological and spiritual comfort, and this is what I have longed for.
Allow me, even briefly, to go back to that special moment and describe to you how I reached Triumphant Mercy for the first time.
I received a call from the center for food pack distribution. Maral received me with a face full of mercy, love, and a gentle smile. The day I stepped into the center, I started to feel a change. Maral played a major role, psychologically and spiritually through the experiences that ravaged my life. I was telling her everything; I don’t know how and why I opened up to her. She used to hold me tight and pray with me. Her prayers were quickly answered. I encountered Jesus in lovely way and that made me, day after day, more and more confident in Him.
Maral handed me three opportunities upon my arrival: food, e-learning and spiritual encouragement.
Rime, the energetic, intelligent, and sweet girl, filled by the talents of the Holy Spirit, taught me computer lessons and technology. In my life I wanted to learn from these about these things, but my circumstances did not allow me. So here the Lord is allowing me at this special time to learn and acquire the art of writing, and I am now typing this letter to you! How beautiful this is.
I also had a dream to learn English, this is my special hour with my young blonde teacher, Miss Kelsey. I am working with her to acquire this language, so I am becoming, even in a simple way, able to speak, read and understand English, and now I am sure that I can do everything with the help of God. Everyone is thankful for this team, everyone who knocked on their door.
As for the classes upstairs, the voice of the Lord calls us through Nadine. She is the screaming voice in the wilderness and the bride of Christ. The virtuous women and I meet weekly to hear the word of God. We pray and the Holy Spirit makes us weep. We rejoice in the word of God. We are nourished spiritually. Spiritual blessings are poured upon us to strengthen us and make us strong in front of our difficulties and trials, especially at this point in our country. Lebanon is passing through hard times. Here I was strengthened personally and experienced the love of my beloved Jesus, that I was asking for from the bottom of my heart. It is a special hour for my spiritual and family life. At the end of the bible study, we go out with the peace of Jesus, happy and loving, assured that he would not leave us orphans, His Holy Spirit is with us to the end of eternity.
We are thankful for Triumphant Mercy, and I thank the Lord for all of you, wishing that this center will continue under the patronage of the Lord and pour out more blessings upon you.
One last word Congratulations to our Dekwaneh region, how much I wish that every region in my country will have such a center full of mercy, whose first and only goal is to help people with dignity and spread the word of God. I love you so much and surely Jesus loves you much more.
