Wagaye’s Journey: Thriving Through Compassion

"With God’s help and getting good support from the doctors, my baby is doing well. She is in good health. It has been months since I joined this [Compassion Nurturers] program. My baby is also five months old now. Since the day I joined this program and until now, things that are changing my life and that of my baby are being done for us. I am happy about this."

"When I was pregnant, the [Compassion Nurturer child development specialist] was teaching me to have my follow-ups at the health center and that I should give birth there only. This teaching has helped a lot. With God’s help, I have given birth in the health center.

After I gave birth, my baby and I have been getting things from the program that benefit our lives. To mention some, we get different health lessons, spiritual programs, food support and sanitation items. My baby and I get free medical treatment when we get sick. We also have a feeding program at the center once a week. We cook food in groups and feed ourselves and our children."

"Our fellowship with other mothers in the program is one of the activities I enjoy most in the program because of our love, care for each other, sharing our experiences with one another about raising children and our group discussions on different issues. My daughter is growing well. She will start taking solid food after one month; thanks be to God. I would like to thank you so much for the support you have given me and are giving me. God bless you richly."

A Pastor's Perspective: Bringing Hope to Ginchi

"My Name is Pastor Teshale. I am serving as the pastor of the Ginchi Christian Brethren Church Project. Our Church is in Ginchi town. Since the Compassion Nurturers Program was started in our center, we have accepted the fourth round of expectant mothers who didn’t have any supporters. This program has reached out to them, and their lives and that of their newborns are changed today. All materials they need are fulfilled for them. When they come to the center compound to get its services, my heart becomes filled with delight as I see what they do."

"As the door that is opened in this [Compassion Nurturers] program to reach everyone with the gospel is better, may God bless the lives, ministries, and years of all those who are supporting this program financially and with their prayers. May God’s name be blessed for giving this opportunity for a local church to pave a good way for sharing the gospel. Through this ministry, many people have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, which is the greatest victory.

May God bless Compassion International Ethiopia and you, the children’s supporters. I request you to be on our side and support us in your prayers, that God will deliver those in Ginchi and the surrounding areas who are under different bondages of the enemy by hoping that God will expand this ministry in the future so that we can reach all people in need. God bless your ministry."
