How It All Comes Together

It is the last night before we leave to go to a strange land. We all are as ready as we are going to be and at some point during the frenzy of packing and re-packing, you just say to yourself . . . "I have my passport,my Bible, my immunizations, and a change of underwear. I will be okay."

We anxiously anticipate loving on and offering tokens of love to the orphans and people of Ethiopia. It is a blessing to us just to see how God has provided. First, just with the opportunity . . . those who served to scout out this location and the prayers behind it. Then the generous donations of the people of Grace.

But it didn't stop there. Salina Street Church, a church plant by believers from Grace, donated to the Zeway project. There were friends and family from all over the country who donated towards this vision trip. There was a devoted grandmother to her Ethiopian adoptive grandson, who asked her friends to collect over 600 pounds of humanitarian aid that will be given to an orphanage in Addis.

It is amazing how it all comes together when the saints serve in Christ's name for those dear to His heart. When we are united in our purpose and love our neighbor more than ourselves . . . .wow. What the Lord has done even now, and we haven't even stepped foot in Zeway.

We look forward to keeping you on the edge of your seats on what the Lord is doing on the continent of Africa. There is always adventure in God's presence. Amazing adventure and a peace beyond all understanding.

It will take a couple days to fly to Addis Ababa (capital of Ethiopia), and we hope to give you an update then.
