Healing in Burundi: Orphans, Widows, Prisoners, Gays - Through Voice of Hope

Logo of Voice of Hope Burundi

We're taking you to Burundi, East Africa, for today's Spirit In Action for a visit with Socrates Imani Matabaro, founder of Voice of Hope Burundi. Socrates and the Voice of Hope team are doing some hard, hard, work, as you can imagine, working with orphans and widows and handicapped people, but even more challenging has been the local blow-back after they took under their care 6 gay men who had to flee for their lives from Uganda. The vast preponderance of Socrates' work is with orphans, widows, and people in prison, and doing the healing and teaching work of the Alternatives to Violence Program. Please send out your prayers and support of Socrates' healing, and for the work he and his team are doing. Visit them on Facebook, check out their YouTube channel, and remember to watch the full video of Tuwa Sogeleye, played in part at the end of this interview.
