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!

Sending this via text message. Spent first day in Zeway today! We hugged and met Sophia, Amanu, Ibsa, Cherenet, Alemayu. God is so good

  1. My students looked at the photos we have of the teens (missing a couple). It was exciting to share your journey with them and have them feel a part as well! SO glad you are the hands and feet of the rest of us here who are praying!

  2. I think my first attempted post failed...we got a card with Ibsa's name and photo on it from Baker's Sunday school class many weeks ago...I'm excited to hear that you got to hug and meet him! I will tell Baker. It will make this more real. Please tell Ibsa that the Tuthills are praying for him! :-) God bless you guys,

  3. I don't know what happened to my post either! Today, I'm praying that the team feel a supernatural deep trust in God and that the kids feel the same trust from God, through the team. Let them see a Father that will never leave them and has much good in store for them!
