The $3000 helps pay for Gabe's airfare & accommodations as well as part of the costs for a FOOD STOREHOUSE, a GRINDING MILL and TEACHERS' HOUSING in Gambella!
We've been partnering with Global Hope Network, lending hands to help with their good work throughout Africa. Now, we have a great opportunity to send people on their next trip to Ethiopia and Kenya!
The trip is July 11-26th.
Would you pray about going? Think about it... chew on it... ask others if it'd be a good trip for you.
Wubshet & Habiba are Global Hope's "on the ground" helpers in Gambella. Without their oversight, the Miracle Acre won't run. Please help support W & H as they work to stay in Kenya to help the people of Gambella! Any amount helps!
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
That's pretty good, huh?
This coming week at ROOM, I'll be talking about God's Body (based on Paul's phrasing in Colossians 1:24... "for the sake of His (Christ's) Body, which is the Church") and how that really (actually) can work.
If you can, try and see the 2002 Hugh Grant movie, "About a Boy." It's such a great (and funny) depiction of the futility of living life alone and how (as Jon Bon Jovi said) "no man is an island."
