Posts from Ethiopia this week!

I have received several updates from Ethiopia this week during the week that Children's Hopchest traveled with a team of 26 people to our care point and 3 others. They spent Wed. loving on our little ones.

They handed out care packages and read the notes from their sponsors...

They spent lots of time talking with them...

They watched in amazement how so many children in one place can be so orderly...

They observed the joy they have for the little things...

Though I was sad to not be with the team this year and sad to not have gotten the chance to build the relationship with these kids and the staff at Kechene, God worked through each of those team members to bring what He wanted the kids to have this week. I learned a painful, yet valuable lesson this year...sometimes, we have to let go and allow others to do what we really want to do. This is difficult for me, especially after having the feelings of pure joy and pure serventhood I felt last year. The feeling one has when doing this type of work is amazing, but letting it go for others to get to experience while working for Christ is equally important.

Just wanted to share.

More to come after the team is back in the states with all their pictures and reflections.
