God’s Plan: Book 1 – Youssef’s Story

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Youssef Etabo must have felt God misplaced a plan for him as a child. After his mother contracted HIV, his father moved the family to a rural region of western Kenya where an astonishing 20% of the population had the virus. Working as a Barber, his father caught HIV and died leaving a gravely sick wife behind.

To provide for his family, Youssef sacrificed school and took on seasonal jobs where employers under-payed him knowing he had little recourse. Fueling the misery,

his mother died from AIDS but it was in this moment of intense darkness God’s plan began to emerge. Hope waning, Youssef began praying and reading the Bible for courage. Unbeknownst to him, he read Jeremiah 29:11 every day. God’s plan surfaced at his mother’s funeral when an MCF staff person approached Youssef.

Within weeks, Mully Children’s Family fulfilled Youssef’s prayers accepting him into the family where Youssef experienced a “small heaven” upon his arrival. No longer a slave to agony, he plans to be an electrical engineer. Mungu akubariki Youssef and those who patiently and obediently await for His plan to unfold.

Did You Know?

God’s Plan: Book 2 – Food Delivery Timing Occasionally we experience supernatural coincidences only to be reminded of who’s really in control.

Dunwoody United Methodist set out over two years ago by submitting an application with Rise Against Hunger, a global hunger-relief organization which partners with churches. Two years later and after numerous obstacles, the shipment containing 300,000 meals arrived in Kenya at the drought’s height. Ironically, the Georgia team arrived in Kenya the same week enabling them to dispense the food. Unable to produce food at drought-stricken Ndalani farms, the meals were vital in feeding 6,000 students daily which kept them in school to study for the national exam.
