The difference you’ll experience
“Here is my picture weight in the refugee Camp after Church in 1992. Yes, I felt stuck and unsure how to take the next step, but God had a plan, that's what I return to do, share the same Hope with Child refugees and families, that there is still hope, that their struggles don't mean the end."
