4 Days To Go!!

It's hard to believe after all these months of preparation and prayer that we are leaving for Ethiopia in just 4 days!! It's been amazing to see how God has so faithfully provided us with all we need for the trip. He has been in all the details - even some we hadn't thought of:)

We all covet your prayers for our families while we are gone - 12 days is a long time. For travel mercies and for us to be a blessing not a burden to those we are visiting.

This Sunday March 8th we are having Commissioning Sunday during all 3 services at Cold Springs Community Church. We invite you to come and be a part of this. Thank you.

Yummy Food at Queen of Sheba

Queen of Sheba




So we got brave last night and went to The Queen of Sheba to sample Ethiopian food! It was completely yummy! There was no silverware - you eat with your fingers, scooping the food into your mouth with an "Injera" - a pancake like tortilla. You eat with your left hand - your right hand is considered unclean! Everyone was very brave and tried everything! We had lamb, chicken and beef stews, spinach, corn, lentils & cabbage - washed done with honey wine that tasted like sherry.
It was really fun!

Sam's Ethiopian Testimony


Listen to Sam's story about Ethiopia.

Thank You!!!









Thank you so much so all your generous support at Sunday's fund raiser! God has provided for our trip through your generosity and support. It is a little over-whelming to be on the receiving end of such provision - you just can't outgive God! When we started to make plans months ago and realised how much it would take to get all of us to Ethiopia, it was a little daunting! Now looking back it's been a wild ride out of our comfort zones! From writing and sending out fund raising letters, photo shoots, giving our testimonies in front of the church and now the tri-tip fundraiser, God has shown Himself so faithful and good.
Thanks you for being a part of this with us.

Tri-Tip Sale


God is being so faithful in bringing in the money for our trip. We're about 3/5's of the way there!!!

We are having a tri-tip fund raiser ($14 per roast) this Sunday February 1st (Superbowl Sunday) during all 3 church services. Scott Seibel is baking his deliciously famous bread to sell too for $2.50 per loaf.

Please let the office 622-2171 know asap so we can get enough meat for everyone!

Thanks so much for all your prayers and support.
