Jax and I are headed back to Ethiopia in April, and we cannot wait! We were absolutely blown away by everything we saw God do on two trips last year, and we are eager to see what He has planned this time.
WHY We believe there is nothing more important than sharing the gospel. We are called to go to the ends of the earth, and both Jax and I have personally felt God's call specifically in Ethiopia. A huge part of our hearts will forever be there.
During our trip my younger boys will get to go on an exciting trip with my mom, and after prayer and contemplation Jax made the decision to go back to Ethiopia even knowing what he will be missing out on. My mama heart could not be more proud.
WHEN & WHERE We leave April 4th and return home on the 15th. We will again be flying to the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
WHAT & WHO Our mission is threefold:
1. E3 partners with the local government to have chickens delivered to each of the homes we will visit on our trip. The chickens provide a sustainable income for these poverty stricken families.
2. Using the Priceless Cube we will educate the people we meet about human trafficking. It is common to send children away with someone who comes into the village promising children/teenagers/young adults a job that pays well. Families choose to send their children away believing they are giving their children a good opportunity. They don't realize the circumstances in which their children end up. On our previous trips, the families we spoke with were incredibly thankful for our message.
3. Most importantly, we will present the gospel of Christ using the EvengeCube.
HOW Our mission is only possible with a support team. We have two huge requests.
1. We need prayer, lots and lots of prayer. Prayers for health and safety, prayers for preparation, prayers for travel mercies, prayers for our team leaders, prayer for all the little details, prayers for our translators and disciple makers, prayers for raising funds, and the list goes on. There is no such thing as too much prayer! If you are willing, I would love to have you on my prayer team. Before our September trip I faced quite a bit of spiritual warfare. The devil works hard to stop the Lord's work, but he will not be successful. I appreciate you covering us in prayer during this time.
2. Our second need is for funding. Together Jax and I need to raise $6,830. Half of that amount is due at the end of the month since plane tickets need to be purchased and travel plans confirmed. All our funding must be raised no later than March 4th.
