Hola! We’re back in Addis & happy with life. 
Yesterday, we travelled in the morning & then got situated in our living accommodations & had a service at Pastor Eyob’s church in the evening, so it was a nice, full day. The service went well – I ministered on following Jesus’ voice as our shepherd & not the stranger’s voice. God also gave me several verses to minister to specific individuals in the service, so it was fun to flow in this gift. Everyone was very happy to sleep last night & most slept extremely well.
This morning, we’ve had the great opportunity to do a vbs at Pastor Eyob’s church for street kids, orphans & HIV / aids kids. It has gone really well & at present, we’re providing lunch for them. We probably had around 500 kids, so its been lots of fun!
Tomorrow, we have the opportunity to do some street outreaches & evangelism, so we’re really praying about that & looking forward to it!
Pls pray:
1 – ongoing favor & open doors to minister: Addis has about 5mill people & so there are plenty of people, its just finding the right contexts in which to share Jesus.
2 – health & strength: we want to have the strength to continue being effective in sharing Jesus
3 – finish strong: since we’re leaving Sat night, we want to maximize our time over the next few days to be as effective for Jesus as possible
THANKS LOADS FOR PRAYING!!!
Really appreciate all the support, comments, prayer, etc!!!

Sounds like the trip is going well!! Now just finish the race strong . Must be why the bible speaks of that a lot. Hats off to you Sarah being minister, Mom, Ring leader, Cheerleader, travel guide, counselor, and I’m sure I’ve missed something…Your weather sounds cooler that ours. High 90’s and 100’s since you all left. Good reports from San Salvador too!!! Yeah!!! Go Team GO God!! We miss you all!

[...] may remember the twin, baby girls we met last year in Addis. They had been abandoned and left to die in a field. Rescued by a local orphanage [...]
