Supplies Delivered

A couple of weeks ago the following items were delivered to the Care Point:


They distributed 25 kg of cereal (teff) for each child this time. Even though the staff continues to communicate with government distributors to obtain the cooking oil, they were unable to find oil to purchase due to a shortage of it. 


The field has requested prayer for the following:

• be praying that we will be able to obtain oil.
• A meeting regarding the license is scheduled for July.  Please be in prayer for the Grace Baptist Church leadership and the government officials in the meeting.

The discipler at Grace Baptist Church said the children have finished their exams and now on "summer break". Thank you for caring for the children at Grace Baptist Church!

We've had some questions about the uniforms.  In Ethiopia a school uniform is required to attend school.  Because of the cost of the uniform some families must choose between food and a new school uniform.  Our April Mission team saw that many children at our care point are wearing uniforms which are torn, tattered and/or too small.  The Father's Day fundraiser gave us a great start to providing new uniforms for the children but additional funds are needed.  If you  purchase a uniform your child WILL receive a new uniform.  If you are unable to provide financially for a uniform we will have another fundraiser so all the children (sponsored or not sponsored) will receive a new uniform in the fall.   

We are currently raising funds for new school uniforms for the children.  A uniform is $17.50.  If you are interested in purchasing a uniform for your child or a child not sponsored please got to:
