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!

We're Home!

The Zeway Team is home and well. After 24 hours of travel from Ethiopia, we are all tired, ready for a shower, and needing some catch-up sleep. Our flights went smoothly, and God was clearly watching over us. More pictures and updates to come after we decompress a little . Please continue to pray for a couple of members who are battling some mild illness, and please also pray for protection and guidance over the next few days of re-adjusting and working through our emotions and the trip’s impact on our team.

  2. So anxious to talk to you and get the full scoop...So much to give praise for!
    Thank you for keeping us up to date as much as you were able! It was more than I expected and brought so much joy to see the faces and read the names you were seeing!

  3. Praying that your decompression is going smoothly. it is hard to adjust after seeing what you see when you come back to life. The "safari" is still praying and we are glad that you are home safely.
