I enjoyed taking Bert, Nubia, and Jackie with me in December when I went to visit the women in Gambaga. The director of this place of refuge for those accused of witchcraft calls this "The Go Home" project. Of all the names for this place, that is my favorite. The people overseeing this camp work hard to get these women back home. It works out for some women, but not all. What a faith-filled name, though! They do not want to label these women as witches or as outcasts, but as those who are destined to go home.
"As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were." Romans 4:17
I know I need to call more things that are not as though they were. I want to live a faith-filled life.
