Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them... Isaiah:58:7

Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but helping the poor honors him. Proverbs 13:31

Where We Are At

"T's" paperwork is in hand. "O" has been at the orphanage a long time and needs to have his paperwork redone. It will take a few weeks. Then we go to court. We will get an embassy appointment after we get our 171H. If we get fingerprints on January 25th, we might have our 171H by the end of February. Embassy appoint should be end of March. We pick the boys up before their embassy appointment because we all need to be at that appointment.

We have friends traveling to both the orphanages our boys are at the last week of January. We will get videos and pictures of those visits. I made photo albums for both boys that will get delivered to them. They will be told about us and "O" will learn that two of his friends will be coming to a family from our church. Those albums included many family pics I took over Christmas.

"T's" mother is very sick. She has a large lump in her breast. The folks at "T's" orphanage have been looking out for her and they would like to get her to Addis to see where her health is at. I was hoping to travel to Ambo to meet her but it isn't looking good. We do have a really nice picture of her that I will get made up for "T" to have and to remember her. She is a very beautiful woman.


"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8,9

I know the timing will all work out.

  1. How exciting...you are getting very close now. God is watching over all your details...worry not ;-)

    Nice to meet you, we are a CCI family too. We are adopting a little girl who is *about* 11 (she is in Wolisso Ethiopia).

    Praying God fills your time with His goodness as you wait for your travel time.
