"Aunty" May Ladeh One woman with a vision from God to serve the community started a lasting, purposeful ministry when she had no physical vision of her own. Sighted people fail when their vision is their own. Aunty May is a perfect example of what it means to rely fully on God to do His work. Leaving her childhood home in Joppa at a young age to study at
a school for the blind in A woman of prayer, it is said that Aunty May "never stopped praying" when facilities were insufficient and more space was needed. When God gave the House of Hope spacious new buildings, she never stopped thanking Him! Aunty May touched hundreds of lives through her obedience to God. She could've said no when He said, "Serve me with your entire life." But she stepped out in faith and has witnessed amazing miracles. Michael David, the son of Aunty May's right hand helper,
Christine, grew up serving with Aunty May in the home.
Others say that Aunty May "taught him to love the blind."
His love for the blind and his
continuation of the work after Aunty May's health deteriorated was a gift from
God and a direct response to the love he was shown through Aunty May and her
service. Aunty May went to be with her Savior in 1993 after a struggle
with a broken ankle and two dangerous strokes.
She is greatly missed but those who knew her best simply thank God for
the time we had with her and for the ministry she started.
Hundreds of people received spiritual and physical care and education.
The A small booklet on the life of Aunty May Ladeh is available,
entitled A Lady of Vision. |
