As we celebrate Thanksgiving with our families we would like you to remember our Ethiopian family at Grace Baptist Care Point in Kombolcha Ethiopia. We are thankful for everyone who has helped up reach these kids and make difference in their lives. We are also thankful for those who sponsor the kids of this care point. We leave you today with the story of Zeyneba and what sponsorship has done for her.
The biggest thing you can do for a child in need is to sponsor them!! With only $34 a month you can change this child's life. We give them hope and the grace of God with food, spiritual education, mental education, fellowship, clothing, and medical attention. If you are interested in sponsorship through Children's Hope Chest contact mblueberry.madamblueberry@gmail.com.
Zeyneba Abebaw (ET2116184) was born in a small town called Worehimeno. At the age of three, her father and mother divorced and decided not to live together anymore. Her father moved to Kombolcha town and gave Zeyneba to his sister. Her aunt received and promised to give care as though she were her daughter. When she got older her aunt took her to Grace Baptist Church CarePoint and enrolled her as a beginner student. She attended grades 1 to 4 at this CarePoint. She was a model for the other students.
Growing up, Zeyneba did not know her mother while she lived with her aunt. Zeyneba became distressed when she learned about the geographical distance that separated her from her mother. Both the CarePoint leaders and her aunt continue to comfort and support her. Zeyneba is thankful for all of the support she has received from the CarePoint.
Last April, she was so excited when her sponsor visited her from the US. She understands that she has another friend in the US that loves her.
Zeyneba is now in the ninth grade. The great news is that she accepted Jesus as her personal savior and was baptized in the name of God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
