Convo Africa Magazine Issue 005

THIS ISSUE’S FOCUS

It is not enough to talk about reaching the lost and helping the marginalized populations in the community. We need to actually do something about it. This being our mental health awareness month at Convo, we chose to share stories of people who have been helped and others who have been helpers for those struggling with SUDs.

Feature Story: Pastor Mary Kebbie, who runs a street families ministry aimed at helping street families out of their vulnerable and destitute living conditions. The ministry has been the hands of Jesus, demonstrating the love of God to many who are all alone on the streets.

Personal Testimony: Martin Mawira shares his story as someone who has been helped to help others. He has recovered from an unimaginable illness and now serves as an addiction counsellor, living proof that recovery from SUDs is indeed possible.

More stories shared in this issue are meant to show that there is hope and help for those still struggling.

I invite you to read through and listen to our conversations on our YouTube channel because this is a conversation that matters. If you are struggling with a SUD, help is available for you—all you need to do is reach out.
