Young Life in Ethiopia





What a trip we had to Ethiopia! It was eye opening and we will all never be the same. One of the privileges we had while we were in Ethiopia was to spend time with some of the Young Life staff and leaders. Here are a few pictures we took with the Young Life crew. You see Peter (who is 1 of 4 Area Directors) with me and one of his leaders Henok. Also a picture of YL kids.
They are having an incredible impact on so many kids lives. Most clubs are between 150 and 300 kids. They are hoping to take about 800 kids to camp this summer. There are so many kids that they are training to be future leaders. We also got to go to one of the Young Life clubs, and a leadership meeting. I felt blessed to worship with them all, even though I didn't understand very much.
We are hoping to go back and help with a summer camp. There are many needs and I hope to bring others with me to help serve.
It will be fun to see what God has in store for the future. Please pray for all of the leaders and staff in Ethiopia, you can read more about their ministry in Africa here.
