In southern Ethiopia along the Kenya border, there is a small town called Turmi. I lived there many years ago. The people there are what we would call pagan, living as nomadic herders. They worshipped many gods. Tribes would raid and kidnap women from each other, they would kill and steal cattle. Small children who did not conform to their physical standards were called ‘mingee’ (cursed) and were left to die in the bush. Gradually, as Christian evangelists began to come into the area, the gospel was spread, and these people‘s lives begin to change for the better. They speak of hope for a better future for their children. Now there are small groups of Christian believers living in this area. They have established a few small churches and now they are building schools. I have seen the beginnings of the school last September when I visited. They built the classroom in faith, not having enough money to finish it.
These people have emerged from the darkness, and are striving to live in the light now. I think we should help them. We who live in such luxury in the west, with so many options available to us, should not forget our brothers and sisters who are struggling in other parts of the world.
They need $1200 to finish this classroom.
 Let’s do it! if you’re reading this, you actually have an opportunity to touch many lives in a far corner of the world that you would never have an opportunity to go to yourself.  You will see pictures and hear testimonies as the school is finished and know that 💯 of your money went exactly to this project. Venmo
