Dear John,
As South Africa emerges from its riots in KwaZulu-Natal, the community braces for food shortages, spreading virus and economic uncertainty, and the AE team is preparing for a practical response to community needs. Thank you for your prayers and support, I have had an opportunity to enlist wide prayer support through our Christian radio partners in Australia and NZ.
In this edition of Harambee, please take the opportunity to complete this short 2 minute survey so we can provide feedback for our African teams as well as to improve Australasian communications.
With an average age of only 18 within all of Africa, the issue of young people’s survival on the streets is an ever-present issue. They are exposed to disease, exploitation and crime, and they are in need of the love of Jesus to shine through to give them hope. African Enterprise’s vocational education programs aim to address these issues, and Gabriel’s story will be sure to encourage you how your gifts are multiplied.
In the midst of conflict in Ethiopia, our team leader Mel Mesfin continues to provide discipleship programs for young people, and has introduced a new vocational program for vulnerable women. The short video below was recorded just a few days ago to update you.
Every blessing and stay safe.
