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!

Today we were inspired, moved, and broken. We worshiped African-style, visited poor rural towns, and wept openly with hurting children.

When we first began serving the orphans in Zeway, we called it the Zeway Project. It wasn't until we met the Zeway church leaders and Zeway FH staff that we understood that God meant for this to be a Partnership.
You see, a project is something you do TO someone. A partnership is something you do WITH someone. We see the benefits of working with the Zeway churches and FH staff as reciprocal. We will learn from them as much and probably much more than they will from us.
So forgive us if we get particular and insist that you say PARTNERSHIP.
