Bittersweet Time in Ethiopia

It is Friday night and we leave tomorrow for the United States after 3 awesome weeks here in Ethiopia. How do you go back "home to US" when your heart is still here in Ethiopia. We feel so torn tonight, as we want to see our family and friends,  but we also want to stay and work helping our dear friends here in Ethiopia.

God has introduced us to wonderful new friends and ministries and has shown us the progress that is being made to improve their lives and future. There is still so much to be done, but God is at work.

We have visited Embracing Hope and Children's Heaven where we spent time before, as well as became part of A Heart for Korah and visited the wonderful work at the Former Women's Woodcarriers Scarf Factory, as well as visited our water project in Arsi Negelle.

As much as we want to stay here, we do believe that God is having us return to the US to share His heart for these precious souls with family and friends and hopefully gain sponsors for the families at Korah and Embracing Hope, the girls at Children's Heaven and also Doc's Well of Hope. We do not apologize for asking everyone to consider how God might want you to help to support these ministries as we know that we all can do something.

It is such an honor to know that God has chosen us to spend our latter years working for Him in such an exciting manner and blessing us so that we can bless others.

Our first time of sharing will be at Church of the New Covenant in Mansfield, PA on March 30 at their 10am service. Please come and join us as we share the goodness of God.

Thank you again to all who have supported us with their, finances, love and words of encouragement.
