The Lord has opened a door to go back to Ethiopia to continue being a part of his mission there, and I could not be more excited that he has planned for me to join for a fourth year. It is truly such a blessing and so humbling to know that I am going to get a front row seat again to see his work up close and personal with some of the most devoted and mission minded brothers and sisters across the pond that I have had the immense please of meeting.

I feel personally very unprepared to go this year so far just due to some personal life circumstances, and even as I type this, I am reminded that it may be the exact and best place God put me in, because as I gear up to ask you guys for prayer, I am reminded that is truly going to be how I and my whole team, both North Americans and Ethiopians, speak boldly and faithfully the good news of Jesus Christ and yield to the plans God has for each of us and every single beloved person we get to cross paths with and talk to and pray for. 

That being said, if you are on my page, my first ask is that you pray with our team! This is one of two big ways you can be an extended part of the work God is doing and a part of our team. Please pray for the people we meet that God would prepare their hearts to hear the good news! Pray for our ministry partners in Ethiopia, that God would strengthen and encourage them and uphold them as they are doing year round work to get the good news to as many people as they can reach and they are doing the biblical work of discipling many new believers long after we leave. Pray for us as we prepare that would be more deeply rooted in our relationship with our heavenly Father and his holy word. This trip always comes with spiritual warfare, so we really need all the prayer warriors battling for us in prayer. Also, please pray finally for safety and logistics on the ground when we are there. If you do not already get my emails with updates, email me at cld8543@gmail.com and I will include you on future prayer emails.

Finally, the other big way you can support me is through financial support. This trip is 100% fundraised so that we can begin to learn to rely on the Lord to provide through trusting him in making a way to go. It also allows our friends and family to be a part of sending us to the nations and being a part of Gods making disciples of all nations. There is never any pressure to give, but your support encourages me and means more than I can express on this page. It really gives me a glimpse of how God uses the whole church to accomplish his will. Your guy's support through prayer and giving us just as important as our going is - truly. And I thank you for your consideration from the bottom of my heart.
