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!

Update from Zeway

We recently received an update about the children from the Zeway FH staff. We are praising God that:

Melkete has paid off all the taxes on her home. She was empowered by our prayers and the support she received to march her little 13 year old self to the government agency and insist that the head of the housing department inspect her property and give her the stamp of "paid in full". The inspector was so impressed and inspired by Melkete's spirit, he is continuing to be her advocate in an issue regarding her property.

Please be in prayer for this property issue. The home is Melkete's now, but because the Ethiopian government owns all land, they have the right to remove Melkete and her 9 year old sister from the house so that a road can be built through it. Please pray that she will be relocated to a safe and sound location.
