Finding Hope in the Midst of Poverty and Shame with Delphine Fanfon (Part 1)
When poverty is the reality for everyone in a country, both believers and nonbelievers alike grapple with a deep sense of shame. Suffering becomes the norm, and only God can provide hope for freedom from this pervasive despair.
In this week’s podcast episode, I am honored to welcome Delphine Fanfon, a dedicated minister living in Cameroon. What a gift it is to connect with her from across the globe, thanks to the miracle of modern technology.
