We head to Ethiopia in March!
Our flights are BOOKED and we are ready to spend some time with Elizabeth and the children. Elizabeth was called about 10 month old twins that had been abandoned about one month ago and so now we are up to ELEVEN children at Abenezer. We are going to Ethiopia not only to show them some love but to get a vision of what the future looks like. We want these children to be able to dream big and accomplish whatever they put their minds to even though life in their beginnings has been hard. They celebrated Ethiopian Christmas on January 7th and were able to have a feast because of our generous donors. Elizabeth and the children can feel our love for them clear across the world and we thank each of you for that. The children are thriving, growing and all the school age kids are doing very well. There are five littles now and Elizabeth has two helpers at the home. One lives there and the other commutes. Their monthly incomes are 30 USD/month. It is hard for me to even wrap my brain around that. We will be taking donations of clothes and shoes over on our trip as the quality is much better over here. Let me know if you would like to donate gently used or new clothes and shoes for the children. There are 3 girls and 8 boys so in need of more boys clothes at this time. Please be in prayer for this trip. Our Abi will be going with us and she has not been back since her father and I adopted her at 6 months old. So also pray for her to find understanding and peace with her past. Adoption is a tragedy wrapped up in a blessing. I won’t forget that. Love to all of you. Chesed wouldn’t be what it is today without human beings that choose to SEE ALL PEOPLE…..even those clear around the world.
Go BE the LOVE!
