In Gambella many people have very little hope to live for and some have nothing to opt for especially now, when the few goat which kept them their out in bush was all stolen in broad day light.
But after all this turmoil, four women came to us and said, "Even if all seems to be dark ahead of us, thanks to Global Hope Network International projects we can still work hard and get back our life to normal if all is going to be well in Gambella." So there is hope for future.
They are the poorest of all poor. They never imagine at any time things might change in their life, they never thought they will see white man in their village or any form of help could come their way.
But now, to tell the truth, even the young and unborn child in Gambella have hope, a brighter future because of the work Global Hope are doing in terms of food, water, wellness, education, enterprise and above all their whole being as human.
Gambella village is growing to small town at an amazing rate, apart from the attack which brought everything to stand still in a day.
But Gambella people still feel they have friends who care, even if all is not okay. They feel there are some people from somewhere (the muzungu, the foreigners) who are concern and loving them and give great hope of facing all the challenge and trials which comes their way.
Jeff then went on to say, "Wow. It's such an honor. Together we can help one poor village at a time, like Gambella, find Hope."
You can hear Habiba describe the impact of GHNI's Transformational Community Development on Gambella in this video clip.
BUMC continues to be blessed to participate in spreading Christ's love and hope in such a tangible way!
