We had another amazing day at Onesimus! The medical team saw
over 270 patients today! The pace seems to get a little quicker every day. Tomorrow is the last official day for
medical care and I can only imagine that God is going to continue doing BIG
things. Several members of our team are going to share how being here is
touching them and how they feel about what they have seen thus far. Enjoy!
“How would I describe the week? Physically exhausting,
emotionally draining, and spiritually exhilarating! What a blessing to see God
at work in the hearts of His people and to be put in a place where we can more
clearly appreciate our dependence
on Him.”
– Dr. Ed Cattau
“Words cannot describe how much joy this trip to Ethiopia
has been to me. Praise the Lord for His many blessings.”
– Dr. Steve Rice
“The Ethiopians are a beautiful people. It has been a true
pleasure to teach them about our Lord’s strategy of disciple making. They will
forever have a place in my heart.”
– Karly Hines
“I love seeing my kids again and meeting new and wonderful
people. I have loved the experience of working alongside the medical team- both
the Americans and the Ethiopians.”
– Kelly Dawson
“I’m loving it here in Addis. Great team! The drop-in center
staff has been gracious hosts. Hope to come back and do this all over again!”

Aileen Bearden
“It is a privilege to be here in Addis serving the sick.
They are some of the sweetest people I have ever cared for. I can’t wait to
come back to Ethiopia on another medical team.”
– Dr. Gene Scobey
“Impossible to sum up the week in a sentence. The believers
of Ethiopia have served and blessed me far more than I could have ever had
hoped to serve them. What a privilege it has been to see the spirit of God at
work on the other side of the globe. “
-Shad Berry
“God has a heart for widows and orphans. Joining in with
what He deems valuable, loving and serving these precious children, is an
investment we will never see the true value of. Pray God will continue His work
in us and in the children we serve to
accomplish what we
never can.”
– Jason
Collier
“Today, I learned a hard lesson. God’s timing is not our
timing. My son, Jonathan, had to have an emergency appendectomy and I was away.
I really had to lean on my God and your prayers carried me. Thanks for
continuing to pray for his continued healing
while I am away.”
– Sylvia Hawkins
“Although, I said, “yes!” to this trip, I could never grasp
the purpose for God wanting me back here so soon! However, this week, God has
continued to change my world and He has really put some questions in my head
about the next step in my life as His servant.
God only knows what He is
up to and I sure can’t wait to
find out!”
– Nicci Feathers
Please continue praying for our entire team! We only have a
few days left and we want to make them count!!! You truly have no idea how your
support has carried us throughout this week! There may be 14 of us in Ethiopia
but our team is much larger! Thank you for taking this journey with us!
