"The darker the darkness, the brighter the light can shine."
"The people who lived in darkness will see a great light!"
Thus begins the well known biblical Christmas verse:
"For unto us a Child is born, a Son is given to us.... "
In Isaiah 9:6, the coming of the Messiah, the hope of the nations is announced as the redeemer for His people.
With this bible verse we flew to the north of Cameroon where there is so much darkness present. We explicitly wanted to let our persecuted brothers and sisters know, during this time of solidarity, that we have not forgotten them.
This is why HVK annually organizes the "backpack campaign", an initiative that connects two worlds together so they may also experience that there is light through these dark periods. "He is the Eternal Father, Prince of Peace!"
