As promised, I have downloaded just a few of the 543 pictures my husband, Joe, and brother-in-law, Jon, captured during their recent 2 week trip to Addis Ababa, Arba Minch and Chencha, Ethiopia…..
Every child should have an opportunity to be a child with a safe place to play and adults who love and care for him/her.
Everyone who has met Nega, Director of Onesimus-The Forsaken Children’s partner project, knows why this picture is special. I miss Nega’s beautiful smile, positive attitude, and hearty, contagious laugh.
I absolutely love these kids. It it hard to watch them grow up in pictures and I long for the day (very soon) that I will get to hug and kiss them again!!
And now we will go to Chencha and take a sneak peek at the beautiful landscape surrounding southern Ethiopia…
The landscape is beautiful but it’s got nothing on the people-especially the children…
And just a few not so pretty photos. These serve as a reminder to me to pray not only for Ethiopians to be given access to clean drinking water BUT that they will accept the free gift of the Living Water made available through Jesus Christ.
but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” JOHN 4:14
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
JOHN 6:35
LOVE THE PHOTOS!
thank you for sharing!
