Dembulit Meshesha: A Story of Hope, of Progress, of Change.


 
 
 
 
Daremyelesh and Mekdalawit Girma are precious twin daughters to Dembulit. Dembulit and her four children were abandoned by their father after the birth of the twin girls. As he left, he took away everything they owned so the choice left his family destitute. There had been times of sickness with Mekdalawit having fainting spells which led to a diagnosis of a heart problem, but most of that turned itself around and is believed to be accounted for as spiritual warfare as it was after she received Christ as her Savior. 

The family's current living arrangments are not good for them, but thanks to the support of generous donors and visiting missionaries, Dembulit and her children are moving into a better house. A missionary purchased her an oven on which she could make injera to sell and now she is selling the injera to hotels. Her new business is keeping her busy with the request of 25 injera a day.

It's great to hear stories like this that change is happening because of what we do. Should her business continue to thrive, while it is not possible now, it may mean that the girls eventually come off of support from BCDO due to progress in self-sustainability after being given a hand up after what seemed like impossible circumstances.
   
Thanks for the ways you have and continue to support this ministry. Lives are positively changing because of your obedience to do what God calls you to do. It's to Him we give all the credit, all the glory, and all the praise.
