How it all started

In the summer of 2009, 17 members of Grace Covenant Church, traveled to Zeway, Ethiopia to visit orphans who are raising their siblings. We had no idea what God had in store for us! He has now revealed a 3 year community-to-community partnership with Zeway Food for the Hungry, the Zeway Evangelical Church Partnership and our church in Austin. What a ride God has in store for all those who join this partnership!

Plane Tickets!

Thanks to God's provision and to the generosity of family, friends, and the people of Grace Covenant Church, we have raised enough money to buy our plane tickets (which we did last week)! We still could use a couple hundred more dollars to cover some immunization costs (and the sedatives some of us will need to make it through all 7 of the required shots!), but we are almost at 100% funding for the trip. Praise our God who provides.

Our team will leave on May 24th, fly through D.C. and Frankfurt and arrive in Addis Ababa on May 25th. We will spend 8 days in Addis, Zeway, and another local community ministering to the people in these communities, the orphans in Zeway, and orphans in Addis at a couple of Gladney orphanages. We will leave Addis on June 2nd and arrive back in Austin on June 3rd.

Praise God for His continued guidance of our team, for His prompting of so many of your hearts to support our trip, and for your generosity and continued prayers. More details to come on our itinerary and in-country plans....
