Update on The Twins

(Sarah and the twin girls last year)

You 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 which we support, I had the awesome opportunity to hold the little girls when they were a few weeks old.  This week, I got to return to the orphanage and check up on baby Ruth and baby Sarah, now almost a year old.  It was humbling to realize that God is using me and you to literally save lives—just like these little girls.

How can I thank you enough for helping? How can I praise God enough for sending us to Ethiopia to rescue these babies?  I believe God has HUGE things in store for us to do…to rescue babies like these around the world. Stay tuned because I know you will want to be part of this great work…

worldchild “adopts” Ethiopian orphanage

“God put Ethiopia on my heart many years ago but after our recent worldchild trek, the beautiful people there completely captured my heart.  The unspeakable conditions they endure—unclean drinking water, starvation, disease—it all broke my heart.  worldchild can make a difference there…”  -Sarah

Bridge to Israel in Ethiopia Orphanage is committed to bringing help, hope and blessings to many hopeless and impoverished children in Ethiopia where poverty, malnutrition, and HIV/AIDs are common.  They provide help to the most vulnerable members of society—the children—and strive to raise them up to become healthy, responsible and productive citizens. 

Sarah and her worldchild team spent 8 days at the orphanage while on their trek to Ethiopia in July. They got to spend precious quality time with the 120 children the orphanage cares for.  To learn more about Bridge to Israel and the great work they do for the children of this region of Ethiopia, click here!  Our sponsors are the reason we can help Bridges to Israel and other orphanages across Africa.  Join us in saving children through this outreach and the many orphanages we support across Africa and around the world.

 

back in Addis

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!!!
