The Road Less Traveled

Follow our team down the road less traveled!  Our destination has changed, but our mission has not--which is to serve however and wherever God leads us.  Due to issues within Ethiopia, we are disappointed to learn that we will not be able to travel to Project Mercy in Yetebon on this trip. Please pray for their provision and safety during this time.

However, we have been graciously provided with the opportunity to serve elsewhere. We depart tomorrow and arrive in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Monday via Dubai. We are excited to be working with Ethiopia ACT, an organization started in 2002 to care for the "sickest and poorest AIDS sufferers" amongst the urban poor of Addis. The vision of the multicultural team at ACT is "to reduce the impact of poverty and disease on the most vulnerable of Addis Ababa and to see communities transformed by the power of the gospel."

Aside from providing health care for a variety of illnesses, ACT focuses on public health interventions, education, counseling and support for families and church planting

Please remember us as we travel, "switch gears" and begin to focus on this new opportunity and its inherent challenges. Our group has had a motto from the beginning "SFINC" which stands for "Smile" "Be Flexible" "Innovate"and "No Complaining."  Little did I know we would really have to live up to it.
