Welcome friends! There has been radio silence on the blog for about a year, but we're ready to break that today, even as we're on the verge of sending another couple of Watermark teams to the beautiful continent of Africa. This year, we are privileged to get to travel to Asela, Ethiopia, a small city south of the capital city of Addis Ababa and the villages around Asela. Our teams have been preparing for the last couple of months, getting to know each other, learn what we can about Ethiopia and the people there, and develop tools that we can use while in Africa. We have two teams of Single Adults going, each with about 20 people. The first team leaves, Friday, July 17th and the second team will take its place, leaving Dallas on Friday, July 24th. While in Asela, we are partnering with E3 Partners, an organization specializing in Equipping, Evangelizing, and Establishing churches around the world and in pairing North American churches with these works. We will be working with their team of nationals there in Ethiopia to evangelize through Vacation Bible School for kids, health training for women, sports ministry for men, and storytelling. Each team will have about 5 days of ministry in two different villages.
We will update the blog this week with various information about the trip and then will have access to the blog throughout our trip and will try to update it each day while we are there to keep you posted on what our team is doing. We should even be able to upload pictures from the trip.
In the meantime, please begin praying with us. Below is a link to our team prayer calendar if you don't already have one. Please take the time to print this out and then join us in praying that God would move in a tremendous way through our team and in our team during our time in Ethiopia. Check back tomorrow for information about the people we will be ministering to.
