Dad's acts of kindness

Dad didn't just live in Paraguay, he was a missionary who helped many people there. Here's a list of just some of his acts of benevolence:
1) In a community where there was no water, he put in an artisian well on his property that now gives water to the whole community.
2) Jason built a home for a woman who was abused for years and had nowhere to live.
3) He ministered in the maximum security prison in Paraguay, and saw a man who was known as the toughest criminal become today the trustee prisoner.
4) On many, many occasions he was known to help out single woman who were having difficulty raising children by purchasing clothes and helping pay the children´s education.
5) He has let the minister of a local church live rent free in a home he has in the countryside.
6) Jason bought a laptop computer for a young man in the university.
7) He gave a laptop to another young man to help him in his new job as a software analyst.
8) He purchased a car for a family to help them have transportation.
9) He has bought many a meals for persons hungry.
10) He has paid for dental work for persons who needed medical help.

12)  He helped a ten-year-old orphan boy named Jimmy in Japan after World War II, whose parents were killed by the bomb that hit Hiroshima.  He was sleeping on the seat of a newsprint truck.  A couple of months later, Dad found an American missionary couple who would take him in.  He ran into Jimmy about seven years later.  "It's me, Jimmy.  I'll never forget what you done for me."
