Musa’s story is one of profound transformation—a journey from a life of hardship to becoming a light for vulnerable children in his community. His work with Christ’s Hope not only reflects the impact the organization has had on him but also how his life now overflows with the desire to disciple and care for others.
From the Streets to Christ’s Hope
Musa’s involvement with Christ’s Hope began in February 2017, but his heart for the community runs much deeper. Growing up in the Igogo area of Mwanza, Tanzania, he faced the same struggles many children there face today—being drawn into gangs and the destructive cycles that follow. However, in 2014, his life took a dramatic turn when he was saved and baptized, igniting a passion within him to share the gospel with others.
“I began sharing the gospel through sports on the same street where I grew up,” Musa recalls. “When I learned about Christ’s Hope, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to continue this mission on a larger scale.”
Christ’s Hope became the avenue for Musa to transform the very streets where he once lost himself. The first Christ’s Hope CareGroup he led consisted of children who grew up with similar challenges, and it was there he began pouring his heart into discipling and guiding them.
Discipling Future Leaders
Now serving as the Tanzania Local Fundraiser and Program Coordinator, Musa’s role in Christ’s Hope extends far beyond administrative duties. He sees every child as a future leader, a soul in need of care and direction, just as he once needed.
“Working with children is not just a job—it’s my calling and way of life,” Musa explains. “Each day, I see the profound difference our efforts make in their lives, providing hope and a future.”
From organizing resources and connecting with partners to discipling children through everyday interactions, Musa’s hands-on involvement exemplifies his commitment to raising the next generation with love and purpose. His passion for discipleship reflects how he continues to pour into these young lives, guiding them through difficult circumstances with faith and perseverance.
A Journey Beyond Borders
Musa’s journey with Christ’s Hope recently took him far from the streets of Igogo to the United States. This trip not only allowed him to connect with the Christ’s Hope team in the US and meet sponsors, donors, and partners, but also opened doors for him to advocate for children in need across several states, including Massachusetts, Michigan, Florida, and Illinois.
During his travels, Musa witnessed many children being sponsored and helped raise funds for the ministry at various events. His commitment to building relationships and sharing the mission of Christ’s Hope has been such an encouragement to our staff, partners, donors, and sponsors.
Overflowing Grace
Musa’s story is not only about Jesus’ redemption in his own life but also about how that redemption is multiplied as he invests in the lives of children who might otherwise never know the hope and love of Christ that transformed him.
“I work for and love Christ’s Hope because it allows me to live out my faith in a deeply meaningful way,” Musa says. His life now stands as a testament to the power of grace, and through his discipleship, that grace continues to ripple outward, touching the lives of the next generation.
In Musa, we see the power of a transformed life—one that continues to disciple and care for others, reflecting the profound impact that Christ’s Hope can have, not just on children, but on entire communities. Through his work, the seeds of hope he plants today will grow into a future of opportunity, faith, and leadership for countless children through Jesus.
