Welcome Newbies

If anyone is visiting for the first time, Welcome! I am excited to post pictures and stories about our trip to Ethiopia in the coming weeks. Until then, enjoy a few stats about this years trip.

WHO: The team consists of Doug & Hannah Schillinger, Renea & Abby Pickard, Mike Farley, Kathy Smith, Tiel Howard, Dan & Shadley Grimes

WHEN: We depart September 13 and return the 21st.

WHERE: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to visit our dear friends at Yezelalem Minch and the blessed people they serve in 5 different cities in and around Addis

DONATIONS: We are excited to take over 250 pairs of shoes to distribute to the children recently inducted into their program. These children have never experienced the benefits of YZM before and we are so excited to be a part of this. A big thank you to Parkview Church and all of those people who graciously donated these shoes. We were blown away by your generosity!

SPONSOR CHILDREN: Many of the members of our church sponsor children in Ethiopia. In fact, almost the entire Sebeta project (250 children) are sponsored by Parkview people! So we are excited to spend some extra special time with these children we have only seen in pictures. And we are excited to take over some special packages from many of these sponsor families who were excited to share their love through a small simple gift.

And here are a few of my favorite pictures from last year - enjoy!
