We are very excited to tell you about our trip to Ethiopia which is coming up April 1st through 15th, 2006. And since we know that there is no way that we can do this trip on our own strength, we would appreciate your prayers, as we prepare for this adventure, and while we are gone. We would also appreciate it if you’d pray for our medical mission’s team and our ministry partners. It is critically important that the Holy Spirit guides and protects us, every step of the way.

During our trip, we’ll be serving, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which is one of the poorest countries in Africa. It also ranks 5th in the whole world for HIV/AIDS. We will have two focus areas; formal educational training to 50+ village Healthcare Workers, Nurses and Doctors, plus a mobile clinic to 150 to 175 HIV/AIDS patients and their families. The clinic will probably serve over 700 adults and children

Since Ethiopia is about 50% Christian and 50% Muslim, we hope to have the opportunity to share Christ with our Muslim cousins. Sometimes this happens as “Proclaiming the Gospel by sharing the word of God”, and other times it will be “Proclaiming the Good News by our Presence”.

Please pray;

  • That we will be able to serve with energy and love
  • That valuable medical care will be provided in Christ’s name
  • For team unity in a very difficult environment
  • For safety and health during the trip
  • Flexibility to adapt to cultural differences and schedule changes
  • Openness to God's leading and lessons
  • A servant heart
  • Blessed fellowship with our partners in local missions
  • That an impact will be made that glorifies Jesus Christ

Thank you for your support, prayers and love. In Christ’s service, The 2006 Ethiopian Medical Mission’s team.
