Will You Stand In The Gap??
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!

Will You Stand In The Gap??
A Partnership Not A Project
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.

I'm hoping this is the best way to communicate with the team. I had a chance to look at the Ethiopia video. For a long time, I'd seen Grace's work in Zeway as a "triangle" of God's power coming from Him to Grace, over to Zeway and back to him. When the mention of a triangle was used in this video, my heart just burst with joy. You are all sent with God's will and power and message - in word and deed. Their resulting joy will rise to Him and they will be transformed to bring Him to others!
