The chickens helped Esnart’s faith grow in addition to sponsorship for her children and grandchildren.

“It has made me realize that God came, like sending his own angel to come before me,” says Esnart. “Those years I spent struggling and praying, he heard me and answered.”

Although Esnart’s family was once shunned in their Tonga society because they were poor, now many people in need come to them for help. So she now shows Chansa the importance of helping others to share Christ’s love in their community of Sinazongwe, Zambia.

Her faith enables her to forgive. “I need to show them an example of how they need to live,” Esnart says. “God is using me, not just for my well-being, but also for the well-being of others.”

Merciful Provider, we thank You for all you have done for Esnart and Chansa’s family. You have been good to us. We thank You for Your faithfulness. Use us for Your glory.
