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!

Amazing Opportunity

Reflecting on this trip to Zeway. . . What an amazing opportunity. An opportunity to be part of this ministry. An opportunity to be a part of a sending church. An opportunity to go to Zeway, Ethiopia, to work alongside Food for the Hungry. An opportunity to serve child headed households.

This amazing opportunity has changed.

After being there, seeing the needs, holding children, talking to Muslim and Christian leaders alike about orphans, hearing children request basic needs, seeing children do more in their households than an adult would do . . . this opportunity has turned into a responsibility.

Not one to hold as a heavy burden, but one to praise God for his allowing us to be involved and to share with others and to have others share the blessing.

A responsibility given by the Lord is a blessing.
