Founded in 2001, Free Wheelchair Mission is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to providing wheelchairs for the impoverished disabled in developing nations.

Friday Story: “Inspired to Leave a Legacy: A Supporter Story”

Wendy Isbell first learned about Free Wheelchair Mission about 20 years ago, through a friend who was volunteering to procure donated items for a silent auction benefitting our work.

“Since then,” Wendy told us, “by countless ‘coincidences’ and inspiring stories of people getting off the ground and into wheelchairs, it has become clear to me that Free Wheelchair Mission is one of the charities God has directed me to support for my lifetime.”

Over the years, Wendy has not only donated to provide thousands of wheelchairs to people in need in developing countries, but has also helped to spread the word about our mission through consistent fundraising and support of our annual Miracle of Mobility.

Wendy, who is now retired after more than 35 years in engineering management at high-tech firms, plans to continue supporting this mission for years to come through Legacy and Planned Giving.

“I have long had a will and trust, which I update every few years,” relayed Wendy. “Free Wheelchair Mission has been included as a beneficiary for many years. When I retired and revised my trust based on the fact that I would now be living on my savings, Free Wheelchair Mission and my church were the two organizations that I knew I would still keep as beneficiaries and would still donate to annually now, as well.”

Legacy and Planned Giving through wills and trusts allows you to support Free Wheelchair Mission with gifts that will not impact your cash flow, lifestyle, or family security. Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime, and you can modify your gift to address changing circumstances, like Wendy did when she retired.

For more information about Legacy and Planned Giving, please visit our website or contact Angela Gomez at agomez@freewheelchairmission.org or by phone at 949.273.8470 x1208.

Thank you for being part of Free Wheelchair Mission. With your prayers and support, we have given away more than 1.3 million wheelchairs to those in need in 94 developing countries, and together, we can continue to provide mobility to even more in the days to come.

Murdered and Thrown in Sewers and a Well

28 July 2022
Karenni State, Burma

Dear friends,

The women began to cry and, as we hugged them, they clung to us, weeping uncontrollably. One of them let out a mournful wail and held on to Suu tightly. We were in a hiding place with about 1000 men, women, and children, in tarp shelters under trees, trying to keep away from the Burma Army. The four women we were speaking to were telling us about their husbands and brothers who had been killed. They continued to cry and it seemed to me they wanted the opportunity to tell their stories ...

The impact sent him airborne. Michael landed on a rock and broke three vertebrae, severing his spinal cord. He has not been able to walk since.

In the News ... "Pioneer Natural Resources pledges $1 million to West Texas Food Bank'"

• Commitment from Pioneer is helping the nonprofit mark Hunger Action Month in September

Staff Report
• Odessa American

MIDLAND/ODESSA TEXAS - One of Texas’ largest oil and natural gas producers is pledging $1 million to the West Texas Food Bank to help fund school pantries throughout the Permian Basin.

The five-year commitment from Pioneer Natural Resources, whose operations are based in Midland, is helping the nonprofit mark Hunger Action Month in September. The gift will benefit dozens of K-12 schools across seven counties in the region.

“One of the cornerstones of Pioneer Natural Resources is its longtime commitment to giving back to the communities where its employees work and live, and our pledge to the West Texas Food Bank fulfills that critical mission of serving others,” Pioneer President and Chief Operating Officer Rich Dealy said in a news release. “As we mark Hunger Action Month in September and many students return to the classroom, it’s heartening to know that this gift from our Pioneer family will help the food bank keep school pantries throughout the Permian Basin stocked so that no child has to go hungry.”

As parents send their kids back to school after the summer break, many families depend on the food served at their child’s school to supply a nutritious meal. And for children from lower-income homes, it might represent the most food they’ll eat all day. Numerous studies have shown that children suffering from chronic hunger experience numerous obstacles in the classroom, including the inability to focus on schoolwork, excessive absences due to illnesses and learning disabilities, among other impairments. Roughly 1 in 6 kids experience hunger in America, and nearly 60 percent of children from lower-income families say they’ve come to school hungry, according to statistics from No Kid Hungry, a national campaign dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America, the release said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 38 million people in the U.S. – including 12 million children – are food insecure, defined as a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life. Millions of Americans were also affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw unemployment rates skyrocket and more families turning to local food banks to help make ends meet.

“This is the month to spread the word and take action on the hunger crisis and dedicate ourselves to the solution, and Pioneer Natural Resources is committed to joining the fight to help end hunger in West Texas,” Libby Campbell, executive director of the West Texas Food Bank, which has forged a longtime community partnership with the company, said in the news release. “We realize that hungry children cannot learn, and Pioneer’s $1 million commitment will help fund school pantries across the Permian Basin.”

Since its founding in 1997, Pioneer has established itself as a state and regional leader in oil and gas exploration, industry innovation and production. Throughout its growth in Texas as a large independent energy company, among its enduring missions has been a deep devotion to philanthropy and volunteerism.

“Pioneer’s $1 million pledge to the West Texas Food Bank aligns with our strategy of giving back to the Permian community in which we live and work,” Daniel Pender, Pioneer’s surface and land business development director, said in the news release ...

In the News ... "Couple helped found early Christian Church"

Painting by Harold Copping

• Aquila and Priscilla gave crucial help to missionaries

By Bob Campbell, Reporter
• Odessa American

ODESSA, TEXAS - Aquila and Priscilla were a First Century power couple who played key roles in the establishment of the Christian Church just after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The Revs. Mike Atkins and James J. Bolton say Aquila and Priscilla gave the Apostle Paul vital help in both making a living as a tentmaker and leather worker and in spreading the Gospel.

“They were evidently doing pretty well financially because they could afford big houses where they had church,” said the Rev. Atkins, pastor of Kingston Avenue Baptist Church. “They opened up their home to Paul and Apollos and other missionaries who were traveling through.”

After the Roman Emperor Claudius made all the Jews leave Rome, where Aquila, Priscilla and Paul had made sandals and shield covers for the army, Atkins said, the couple moved to Corinth and then Ephesus in Greece before eventually returning to Rome and being martyred under Nero.

Mentioned six times in the New Testament, they’re best remembered for the passage in Acts 18:24-26, which says, “Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus.

“He was a learned man with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. Apollos had been instructed in the way of the Lord and he spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.

“He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.”

Atkins and the Rev. Bolton agree that Priscilla was the more prominent leader. “Four times in Scripture, Priscilla is mentioned first,” Atkins said.

Referring to another influential businesswoman and evangelist mentioned in Acts 16:14-15, he said, “She was like Lydia.

“She was in charge. They were passionate about the Lord’s work. She and her husband had a strong marriage and they were already Christians when the Lord put them together with Paul. You can imagine some of the conversations that those three had while they were making tents and doing all the leatherwork.

“They were very important in the development of the early church.”

Bolton, pastor of St. James Missionary Baptist Church, said the couple shows how such a marriage can strengthen a church.

“The Book of Romans describes them as having a powerful influence,” he said. “Apollos was one of the most major evangelists of that day and they explained the way of God in a more clear and concise way to him.”

Bolton, who is also chairman of the department of pre-health sciences at Odessa College, said Aquila and Priscilla “stayed together and were strong and very well-respected. “Priscilla was one of the most prominent teachers of the Scriptures at that time,” he said ...
