A Burden Beneath the Acacia Tree
When Pastor Danebe first gathered a few villagers beneath the shade of an acacia tree, he wasn’t starting a program—he was answering a burden. His community had no church, no trained leader, and no clear way to hear the Gospel in their own language. Daily life revolved around survival, and spiritual questions lingered without guidance.
Danebe already loved his people deeply. What he lacked was training.
How Hope Lifters Helped Equip a Local Leader
That’s where Hope Lifters step in.
Because someone gave, Danebe received church planting training through Petros Network—practical equipping on how to share the Gospel, disciple families, and meet the very real needs of his village.
A Quiet Beginning to Transformation
The transformation didn’t start with crowds or miracles. It began quietly.
A few families met weekly to pray, study Scripture, and sing. Word spread. Within a year, nearly fifty people had come to faith. New house churches formed. A women’s savings group launched. A community garden fed hungry families. Children returned to school because they finally had meals to sustain them.
The Most Beautiful Changes Happened in Hearts
A Village Renewed. A Mission Multiplying.
