The boy holding the rabbit is named Moses. The picture was taken at Gracetoberfest last October. In April of 2019, Moses, along with his mom, dad and 7 brothers and sisters arrived in Akron. They are refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo. Shortly after arriving in Akron, Moses and his family were greeted by volunteers from the IWC as they provided home goods and warm friendly faces. IWC volunteers became friends with Moses’ parents and eventually they invited them to Gracetoberfest.

Picture
Maurice is Moses’ dad. He and Moses came to Gracetoberfest. While at GBC that day, Maurice asked where the IWC building was going to stand. He and one of our volunteers walked hand in hand to the center of ground where the building will eventually stand by God’s grace and timing. While standing there Maurice broke out into prayer. He prayed for God to supply the resources needed for the IWC to be built. He prayed for God to bless the IWC, its leaders, and its volunteers. Through the eyes of faith and prayer, he acknowledged the building already existed in God’s plan for His refugee children; we just needed to trust Him. 

Maurice and his family have been blessed by God through the ministry of the IWC. They have created friendships and now have ties to their brothers and sisters here at Grace and the IWC. He continues to pray for the IWC and the many volunteers who are showing the love of Christ to refugees in Akron. 
Please join him in praying for the success, influence, and ministry of the IWC.
