With Mother's Day approaching, I thought it would be inspiring to feature your stories about exceptional women who have touched your lives. Today's testimony is Mercy's Favor. Told through the eyes of her son, Roy Okonkwo, this is the story of a poor widowed mother who was falsely accused. Her late husband's relatives fraudulently sold her house without her consent or knowledge. She fought the court case with no money, a house full of children, and only God to defend her. But God was the only defense attorney she needed. For 12 years the battle dragged on, but eventually God granted victory in Mercy's favor.

"Mercy's Favor" is a true story, one of our many featured testimonies from you, the members and visitors of this site. Each story reveals a life transformed by Christian faith.
