We're here!

Seulam from Addis Abeba!

This will be short because I'm sitting in an internet cafe, but we wanted to make sure you all knew that our whole team made it in safely (and only lost 1 bag!).  We've been really busy these past few days getting acclimated to the altitude, the food, and the weather (which is beautiful when it's not raining).

We've also been doing a lot of training for ministry and learning about Ethiopian culture because tomorrow is when we start our first day of ministry on the university campus!

Here are a few ways that you can be praying for us:
  • For our time on campus tomorrow to be fruitful and encouraging
  • Health - no one's sick yet, and we'd love for it to stay that way
  • For our outreach on Saturday distributing food to children
Hopefully we'll be able to update again soon with stories from our first few days of ministry.  Thanks for all your prayers and support!
