Reality in Ethiopia: Love from Soddo →
We are here in Soddo! Safe and joyful. We had a lot of travel getting here and quickly learned that cell phone service is scarce here and internet is practically no where to be found. We will do our best to find internet and post throughout the trip but it will be difficult. Please continue to…
Prayer requests at the end of this!

Romans 8:37-39
NO, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US.
FOR I AM SURE THAT NEITHER DEATH
NOR LIFE,
NOR ANGELS
NOR RULERS,
NOR THINGS PRESENT
NOR THINGS TO COME,
NOR POWERS,
NOR HEIGHT
NOR DEPTH,
NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION,
WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

When you use a camera you use a lens to get the image you want (i.e. if I want to be able to fit more into the picture I’ll use a wide angle lens or a fisheye). In life, we do a similar thing. We view everything through certain lenses (if you’re a surfer you’ll see a desert and think, “I can’t…

Like guys, it cost the body and blood of Jesus, the perfect saviour. We can’t let the fact that we hear it so often make it wash over us as if it was same-same, the last thing God’s love is is that, we need to see His love as it is, immesurable, glorious and self-sacrificing, just to name a few…
Amen!

Psalm 14
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God “ They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who...

Colossians 1:15-23
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the...

Interesting articles here, especially the articles on the persecuted church around the world! I recommend following!
Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. -Hebrews 13:13

I signed up for this site and have a title in the mail already.
Thomas Nelson Publishers runs the site Booksneeze. In exchange for a copy of the book, you write a 200 word or less review on their site and another site like Amazon or Borders.
Don’t worry, I read fast, but not fast enough to spam your dashboards with reviews! I figure I will be posting a review every week or two.
