Our countdown has changed from a year to months, to weeks, and we are now down to days! Friday night the team spent a few hours packing up all of our supplies and donations. We are so thankful for all of the great items that have been donated and the funds that were given for purchases too! We will be busy helping at a children's program at a local church, working on the sponsorship house of Korah Kids, and installing water filters in area homes. We also get the privilege to build relationships with some amazing Ethiopian people. We are so grateful for the opportunity to serve, to see some old friends, and meet new people.
Last night (Sunday), we were sent out with prayer. Thank you to our family at NABC for setting aside a time of encouragement and prayer for the entire team! It was such a blessing to worship together and see how many people have been, are, and will be praying for us. We know that there is a spiritual battle that is being waged - some team members have experienced struggles that we know are from the enemy. Please continue to pray that we would stand united against those attacks and that we would be a constant encouragement to each other during this journey.
This Wednesday is take off! We leave very early - meeting at 3am so that we can be to the airport by 4. (Yes, I said 3am) We land in Addis at 8:30am on Friday morning, and will hit hit the ground running. Please pray for us that we would get the rest that we need on the flight. After settling into the guest house we will be taking our first trip to Korah Misgana. We will get to help prepare the food and do other activities related to the Saturday children's program.
Thank you for following us! As we get busy in service, we will post some pictures!
