"Teaching in the Light of Jesus"
![]() How can I help Berhane Yesus?
In Genesis 1:2 we read that darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over it. In the next several verses, we read all about God’s mighty work in the creation, bringing forth light, life, and beauty in its various forms. Just think about it: where there is darkness, the Spirit of God hovers over that darkness, ready to transform it into light, life, and beauty! Berhane Yesus Elementary School in Dembi Dollo, Ethiopia, serves approximately 600 children who daily face seemingly endless, insurmountable odds. Each year, the school faces significant budget shortfalls and changing government regulations but has carried out its mission since 1921. Why? Probably because the Spirit of God hovers, changing the darkness into light, giving a hope for new life through a quality education, and offering the beauty of life in Christ because each student is educated in the Light of Jesus each day.
