The Grace Covenant Zeway team made it to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia a few hours ago! Praise God for smooth flights, no delays, and other than being pretty tired after more than 24 straight hours of traveling, all are feeling well.
It was dark in Addis, 8 hours ahead of Austin time, when we landed, so we have not had a good view of the country yet. We ate dinner together at the hotel and are headed off to bed.
We also were able to meet up with Jake Hemberger, a Grace missionary in South Africa, who will be part of our team here for this trip. He is doing great and was thrilled to get to see the team (and yes, Jo, your son looks great, has a full beard now, and loves you very much!).
Some of us have been able to talk with our children back in the states, and they are doing well, eating ice cream for Memorial Day.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers. We feel them, and they are working. Please pray that our time tomorrow with the Zeway orphans will be blessed, covered in His Spirit, and rewarding for them and for us.
Love to you all,
The Zeway Team

The "safari" here is praying and each day the word zeway gets clearer to understand in prayers. But hey God knows that they are praying for you and that is all the matters.

ReplyDeleteMay the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I just felt that God wanted me to share this verse with you. : )
Praying for you,

What a blessing you are to me ALL the time! I am praying and holding the names of the children up one by one.

Woo Hoo! God gives you stamina and strength! May you be able to convey to each child and adult you meet their special value to God and their purpose in the Zeway part of His kingdom! May the Holy Spirit give you eyes and ears to see clearly what Grace's part is in their adventure on this planet!
