God is at work!!

While I was visiting Uganda, I met the coordinator at the CarePoint we went to and we became great friends. Then when I came back I saw that Hopechest has a Podcast and my same friend was in two episodes! It was so exciting to hear his voice and story!! I love how Hopechest works, empowering communities to become self-sufficient in love!

Inspiring and practical !

These podcasts will challenge and inspire you. I resonate with the idea of building the Kingdom of God through the currency of relationships - creating joy, dignity and transformation.
