A special visit to Kechene this January!

Missy and her husband, Paul, sponsor Selam, a little girl at Kechene. Missy just returned from Ethiopia after their family's adoption process. While in Addis Ababa, Missy was able to visit our care point and not only see all the children, but meet her little Selam.

I'll let her video tell the story...

Random moments at Kechene on Package delivery day!


These pictures capture the true sense of what is going on at the care point, Kechene. A year ago, the school was about to close its doors, but there was faith of a mustard seed that God would provide.


The school always had a spirit that all of us who visited on that day in Nov. 2010 remember very vividly. The staff's energy was contagious! The children were happy! The school had a vision, yet hope was disappearing.

After a year of finding sponsors and adding 74 more children to the list of children dropping in every day, the school is different. There is HOPE that accompanies the faith and the energy! The children have families who have been supporting them by sending letters and encouragement. They received their care packages with pictures of families that love them and share their lives with them from so far away.
There is a HOPE that is growing every day! To this day, there are only 2 more children left to be sponsored! Every day, there have been more and more children sponsored, children finding HOPE with their families from afar!


God Bless these kids! They are the HOPE and FAITH that we must have in our Heavenly Father who cares for each of us through others. For these kids, sponsors and their care point are the love of Christ showing up for them!
