I have been given the opportunity to lead a team, from Riverland Hills Baptist Church, to come alongside of some lifelong friends who are missionaries in Ethiopia. We will be assisting them in a conference in Sawla, Ethiopia (which is about 7 hours southwest of Addis) for women, training for children's ministry workers and school teachers, as well as a program for the kids. We also will be visiting a ministry for street boys, an orphanage, and a preschool during Melkam Gena, Ethiopian Christmas.
I will be able to have a visa appointment for Mekides, however, a student visa is basically a lottery system, so there are no guarantees that she will be given one. Please pray for Gods will. The kids all miss her to the point of tears on a daily basis, especially Levi.
I started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that I need for the missions trip. My donation goal of $800 will go towards my travel expenses as well as providing materials for the conference.
Every donation is important and will enable me to be present and help others in need. Would you kindly consider making a donation? Also, I would appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to participate.
Thank you so much for being a part of my life and helping me accomplish something that's important to all of us!
