Quick Update from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Team 1 has arrived safely in Ethiopia with all of our bags. We’re just now waking up on Sunday morning here in the capital after a restful night’s sleep. We’ll eat some breakfast here at the hotel, make a couple of stops here in town (namely at Kaldi’s for coffee which is like the Ethiopian version of Starbucks. Coffee’s 10 times better and 10 times cheaper!), and then begin the 3 hour van ride to Asela where we will spend the week. Tonight we will likely be meeting with our translators and “disciple-makers” that we will be working with the rest of the week and spending some time worshipping with them.

The team is doing great and there have been no issues so far. Continue to pray for the health and safety of our team even as you continue to pray for the hearts of those we will be ministering to in the coming days. Check back tomorrow for more updates.
