And then the rains come. On our last day the taxi van we were in kept losing his wipers. We would stop and he would jump out and run back and get the wipers off the street. Oh and that was the day it actually hailed there.
These are ladies in the Women Empowerment program. Very poor but back in school learning to be a nurse, sewing, and 2 teachers

Share time together

Always prayer time with these ladies and others.
Later that night we went to Beza guest house for Ethiopian BBQ with meat not goat.
Lots of good food
Final meal with Beza what great food but so much better fellowship and partnership together
Betta has finally made the switch over to TEXAS and we are proud to have them both in the family now.
Our partners with BEZA, Betta and Sophi, if you have the chance to go with us in the near future you will fall in love with these incredible people who are empowering their church, city and nation to be reached for Christ.
Pastor Zeb, Betta and Sophi what a great family and this is not all of them two more sons who were not there the last night.
