“As a pastor, looking at the suffering of others, especially people in Africa, Europe and other parts of the world torn by war and the poverty and asking the question
‘why these sufferings?’–This has been a major question for my entire life,†Esaho reflects. “In order for me to be able to better serve the poor and those who are in the need of hearing the Good News of our Lord Jesus, as well as those who are burning with the desire to serve Him, I have come to the conclusion that I have to be near them, witness what they are experiencing, and share my blessings with them.â€
