I am finally taking the time to update our blog.
February has been a very busy month as we have tried to make all the necessary arrangements for a 5K Walk/Run that Doc and I are sponsoring to raise monies to drill a deep, clean-water well in Ethiopia.
The event will take place on April 30, 2011 at 10 AM in Mansfield, PA. It will start and end at the YMCA behind the high school. Please feel free to register by contacting Kelli at 570-662-2999.
We are so grateful to Kelli Fanean, director of the YMCA and Mara Wilcox, Youth Pastor at Church of the New Covenant for all of their efforts to make this a great success.
As well as planning the 5K, we have been in contact with Pastor Gary and Becky Threatt from the IEC Church in Addis Ababa learning more about their ministry and discovering where we fit in to assist them. We are hoping to go to Ethiopia with them in May or June and we will update our plans as they become more definite.
We get more excited every day about the opportunity to serve God in the beautiful land of Ehtiopia and to do all we can to help them become more independent and self sustaining. As I read the blogs of others who have gone and ministered, my heart aches to return and be with those precious people.
March is a very full month as I am traveling to be with our daughter-in-law next week and then Doc, Brieanna and I fly to Florida to be with my mom for a week and Jillane will come down at the end of the week for a few days as well. Doc will return home, but I am staying on with my mom until 3/29 when I fly back to Phila to be with Derek & Beth as they welcome their baby on 3/31. Then, I return home to spend April preparing for the race and our upcoming trip to Ethiopia.
We covet your prayers as we pursue plans for Ethiopia and to know the best way we can be used by God to serve Him and His people.
We have added a PayPal link to the sidebar if God directs you to donate to Doc's Well of Hope.
The name "Doc's Well of Hope" was given to us by our son-in-law's mother and I so appreciate her obedience to God in hearing His voice in this and then in sharing it with us. She said she felt impressed that there is no Hope spiritually without Jesus and there is no Hope physically without water. So, a perfect name for our ministry.
We will continue to post as our plans finalize.
