Join Me In Ethiopia This October!

I am SO excited about what God is doing and VERY excited to share the details of this next trip to Addis in October!

Below is all of the information about the trip, what we'll be doing. I am passionate about Ethiopia and supporting ministries that are already on the ground. Coming along side them and encouraging them, supporting them, and partnering with them. Sustainable ministries are key and so often people just don't know how to get involved. That's in part why we go. To learn, to experience, and to see where we might get involved. 

Never been outside the US of A? That's okay! Come along! 

Email me with any questions, this is going to be an incredible trip!


Womens Advocate Trip To Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
October 17th - 24th, 2012

GOALS: The mission of this trip is to be a blessing to specific gospel centered ministries that are geared towards women and children. Through this there may be a ministry you want to be involved in, learn more about, or partner with. Being an advocacy geared trip the goal will be both a learning and experiencing process for you with the intent to come back and share with others about what God is doing in Ethiopia through these ministries. Our approach will be to support existing sustainable ministries making a lasting impact in Ethiopia both now and for the future.

We will be working with several different grass roots, sustainable, gospel centered ministries in Addis and the surrounding area. We will visit a womens beading project, a day care, an HIV community, a leper hospital, a family based orphan and widow ministry, and much more! There will be some sightseeing and shopping mixed in as well. Our days will be full and prayerfully hearts will be blessed.
