Ethiopia is a nation well acquainted with pain. In the last century, civil wars and famine devastated the land. Those in rural villages remain isolated, without clean water or access to markets, and the country’s ability to provide basic services is strained.

WORD FROM THE SPONSOR
“I chose Ethiopia because I’m actually sponsoring a kid and his family from Ethiopia. Families there don’t have much to eat already and I just found out the other day in a letter from him that his country is experiencing a drought for food. Lots of people are fleeing to the country of Ethiopia because it’s considered a safe zone for people and their families. There’s a reason for all those families to be in one place other than for their own safety. God is going to use that moment even though it’s a bad situation. HE always turns a bad situation into a great one. I am believing and praying God is going to reach a lot of people and children by them experiencing the Love of Jesus Christ. I can’t wait to hear and read about the great things you and your team will be doing for the country of Ethiopia in the name of God and His Son. I pray for the salvation of those who haven’t been saved and I pray for the ones who have lost their family members to the evil and darkness of this world. I also pray for the safety of your team and the health so that nothing will get in the way of what you’re doing. May God bless you abundantly for your obedience and faithfulness.”
