meet journey 28:19's first employee!

We are so excited to introduce you to our Journey 28:19 employee - Luel Anberber.

We met Luel on our very first team trip. He was one of our translators. It was obvious from the beginning Luel had a heart for children. His energy to engage with them was never ending, his love for them was inspiring, and he made every single child matter. Not only did he have a deep care for the children, but he also showed that for our team. Never did Luel let a team member out of his sight. He took time with us and encouraged us while we learned about his culture, making us feel comfortable in his country and like we had been lifelong friends. He loves the Lord and shows that love to others through his words and actions.

While I was in Ethiopia a couple of weeks ago, I was invited into his home for dinner. It is so evident where the love and care he shares with others comes from. I was welcomed in, fed like a queen, treated to a coffee ceremony, and before leaving, Luel’s dad made sure I was safe and not going out walking at night on my own.

It is an honor having Luel represent our team in Ethiopia.

And we look forward to our journey ahead.
