Team made it to Addis safe

Team 1 made it to Ethiopia safe but tired.  Please pray for an immigration issue that still needs to be resolved & we are missing luggage for 7 people but we have already seen God answering some prayers on the trip.  
Today, Sunday, will be a travel & training day as we travel 5 hours by van to the mission site & then do our in-country training & get to know our nationals.  

Please pray for:
*  immigration to get resolved by this morning (Sunday morning)
*  remaining luggage would arrive Monday night 
* unity with our Ethiopian partners
* North Americans would get some good rest to prepare for the week ahead
* open hearts for the gospel

Team 1 arrived Addis safe

The June team arrived in Addis Ababa.  We are feeling good & all the bags arrived.  The time difference is 8 hours ahead of Dallas time so we’re understandably exhausted after being on a plane & airports for 24 hours.  We’ll try to get some sleep tonight & tomorrow travel 6  house  to our mission site & do our in-country training & meet our national Ethiopian partners.     Please pray for: •        Ethiopian hearts would be receptive to the message of the Gospel 
 •        Unity between the North Americans and Ethiopian partners •        Continued good health for North Americans  •        Safety & good health for North American family members at home

Our God is mighty to save - Monday Update

What an AWESOME 1 st  day of ministry.    We loaded the North Americans & our translators in 4 vans & headed into the mountains to the host church.    When we arrived at the host church there was an awesome youth choir singing praise songs to the Lord!    The kids had such big smiles on their faces & the joy of the Lord was evident.      After meeting our disciplemakers, we loaded into the vans & drove to the mission sites.    The local pastors told us that this area was 97% muslim & we could tell right away that Christianity was in the minority.    My small team parked the van on a dirt road & myself & McKenzie got out & started talking with an older muslim man.    After about 5 minutes I looked up & we were surrounded by 20-25 people.    I shared my personal testimony of life change & then shared the gospel with the evange-cube (tells a picture story of God...
