Elizabeth Kramer -
Purity of Heart!
A Story of help that came straight from the heart!


Help can sometimes keep flowing forever. And, the help that Elizabeth Kramer gave to a young Ethiopian lad some ten years ago was just that kind of help. It came straight from the heart, was pure, and was given without question. And, it all began at the end of an African day!
Following the Blue Nile, Elizabeth Kramer and her husband Gustav had just driven down from the mountains of Siemen and had reached the town of Baihr Dar on the shores of Lake Tana. For ten wonderful days, they had been living and breathing the feelings of Africa. They had marvelled at the colours of the sun in the earth, and had touched the thatch covered huts of secretive native villages. They had seen an unimaginable world and had got to know the people they met. And now, with this adventure behind them, Elizabeth and Gustav Kramer were back in the modern and visiting Haili Selassie's palace. But, then came the eyes!

Elizabeth felt them first. They were looking at her in a penetrating “asking for help” way, and Elizabeth was unable to ignore them. They were the eyes of sincerity and needing. And, Elizabeth's heart went out to this well dressed young man. And, so it was that she agreed to provide the book he was desperately wanting. And, this young man's name was Johannes.

And the book was the start of something special. Over the years, Elizabeth and Gustav Kramer have encouraged and supported Johannes in every possible way. They were always there for him And, they were happy. For, Johannes had become their Spiritual Son.

And now, Johannes is returning Elizabeth's and Gustav's help in the best possible way. Now happily married and living in Germany, Johannes is passing on this help to those who need it from him – thus - helping this help to continue for ever! And, all because Elizabeth and Gustav Kramer came down from the mountains and found meaning and wanting in two wonderful African eyes.
