Great news! I received a printout of our financial support when I was at church the other night. Our goal was between $7,500 and $9,000 for the three of us. Our current total: $8,572! Any money that we have left over will be given straight to Yezelalem Minch, the ministry/orphanage that we will be primarily working with. It would be great to serve with them for a few weeks and then give them a sizable donation to continue the work after we leave. So, feel free to continue to give if God calls you to :) This Ethiopia trip has been God taking hold of our hands, leading us

And, this is one more way that he is confirming this trip. So, to all of you who have supported us financially or have been praying along with us, THANK YOU. It is an incredible thing to be a part of God's family and it is a total privilege to step into the work He is doing. "Yet the Lord LONGS to be GRACIOUS to you. He RISES to show you COMPASSION. For the Lord is the God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!" [Isaiah 30:18]
Dear Kate, Abby and Julie;
ReplyDeleteIn my experience of support raising over the years, it is often a reminder to me that people want to be a part of the lives that people believe in.
Therefore - the giving is a reflection of the love that people have for you. The three of you are amazing daughters and servants of the king! Keep on doing what you do, and being who you are!
Live To Tell,
Adam J
