Limping Saints

Marion Fromm is one of the early people who inspired us in this nation. We first met Marion back in September 2006. An energetic Aussie who has clicked into her eighth decade, Marion has come to this nation to establish a business employing land-mine amputees. She has pioneered a fruit-drying, chutney-and-jam making enterprise under the name of RTC. RTC stands for 'Reverse The Curse'. All her 20+ staff, less one, have either shrapnel wounds or bits of their body missing through the scourge of land-mines.

Marion also oversees a church congregation made up largely of her staff. Sue and I got to sit in a circle with these folk on Sunday. Marion is back home in Adelaide for some weeks and so we are covering two Sundays for her. It was a wonderful experience, sitting among Khmer people who have been given a 'future and a hope' through the love and obedience of one awesome lady.
