This Year's Giving Project
ASFAW & HERMELA ASAGA
Asfaw came to Christ through the Navigators while studying Biology at the University of Georgia. Him and his wife, Hermela, are eager to begin serving the marginalized in Ethiopia. “We will be serving the youth who are homeless and living under extreme conditions. We want to impact the hopeless and helpless by using necessary resources that promote healthy living spiritually, psychologically, socially, and environmentally. The main source that will anchor and sustain this development is applying the gospel of Jesus in everyday life with love, compassion and care.”
