Blessing Others-Our DUTY



While we were at the bus station in Mekelle seeing Jemaneh off to Jimma, we heard a woman suddenly wailing in a very loud voice and she could not be comforted by those around her. We found out that she was a refugee from Eritrea and was heading to Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia) and someone stole her luggage and all her money. I was so impressed to see how my Ethiopian family took care of her and brought her to their home to feed her and comfort her. While she waited for the next bus to Addis the next day, we were able to give her a Bible, share God's love with her and provide her with enough money to keep her on her feet till UN officials she was scheduled to meet could provide for her and her child. Praise God for His perfect timing that allowed us to be there at the moment this woman and her baby needed a little encouragment. How I pray that my Ethiopian family will continue to shine their light in the north of Ethiopia! "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." (James 2:17)
