God is doing so much.

So here we are... Lots of new news!!!

-TEAM 2013 is busy preparing to go to Ethiopia, the 11 of us leave on November 12th!

-We are preparing to start our Training Center for the Women, and in the process of purchasing our first 5 looms out of 15 for the women to start in their business of scarf making.

A-Our Sponsored kids, all 301 of them, have now been in school for 2 months!! They have received rations of food, clothing and shoes, going to church together and learning to write to their sponsors! Another team trip from us just solidifies our relationship with them and our long time commitment that we are always here.

-We have with the blessing and help of Hosanna! Church, just purchased a well/ water Point for the children at the Care-Point! Imagine these kids spend most of their day walking to get water from a river. Now they will have access to water right where they are at!!! This should be getting ready to be put in in the next few months.

-We have Dr. Gemechis Buba Traveling down to Hosanna with us to speak at our Leadership Training Conference and then at our Campaign that is open to the public. We expect 30,000-40,000 people to attend this event. Pastor Tim Hatt from Hosanna! Church will also be traveling down to Hosanna with a team of 7 and meeting our Team at the end of our trip.

-I, Would love some specific prayers as I will be staying on in Ethiopia after both teams have gone. I am going to spend some one on one time with the Women creating profiles for them, hearing and recording their stories. I am feeling led to press into more of the plight of the prostitutes ring and go visit areas where it is taking place. We visited one busy area several years ago and God brought us 80 women since. What more can we do? What is God calling us to? It will be a powerful sight bringing some of these women who have lived this life to this area and see them be used by God to help many more find freedom.

I will go, and see as God is leading. My heart for the women of this area just is so unsettled. God has given us such favor and we want to see His fullness come!
