All Together Now!!!

A BIG welcome home to the C family from Wisconsin who is finally ALL together! What a great example of perserverance, prayer, and faith lived out loud.

Big Thanks!

A big thank you goes out to all those who have gone the extra mile lately to help the children of Ethiopia...

*Thank you Dr. Andy Gould for making a special trip to visit our partner orphanages and examine our children

*Thank you Hollie Colwick for taking soooo many beautiful photos of our waiting and matched children while there

*Thank you Cindy Lowe for holding down the fort and supporting ARISE in so many ways

*Thank you Lesley Scott and Tera Melber for continuing to advocate for our program

*A special thanks to my husband, Pat, for putting the needs of orphan children above his own for 12 days!

Pat with the C Family in Ethiopia!!!

Pat made it to Ethiopia in time to say good-bye to the C family as they head home to Kentucky...please pray for them as they travel this weekend and for Pat as he has much to do over the next 10 days.

Prayers that Avail Much

I am so grateful and blessed to watch the hand of God in the lives of our Ethiopian orphaned children and the families that pursue them. This spring has been full of God's favor and blessings as we welcome home children, celebrate successful court processes, and match children to waiting families. There is much still to be done and new projects to get started. Join us in prayer and praise as we watch God's plans and provision unfold!

Family Fellowship

Families,

Please don't forget our upcoming fellowship next Tuesday evening, May 4th, at New Song Church. We will be enjoying a guest speaker and native Ethiopian, Senite Andergachu. Senite will be helping us all learn a little Amharic! Please remember snacks and drinks and also childcare tips ($5 per child). Also, please keep the M and C families in your prayers as they travel this week to pick up their children. We look forward to welcoming them home!
