Hello friends and family! For the last few weeks I’ve been in Harbor Chulule, Ethiopia. I live in a small village where my ministry “HopEthiopia” does many things. One of them is they house orphans and women. The goal of this ministry is to teach the children not only English but skills in all sorts of things. From computers to farming, these children and women have an opportunity to learn more than most people in the village. I’ve been able to join the reforestation program. In this program we plant thousands and thousands of trees. Due to excessive farming the trees are almost all gone. And when the trees go, so do the underground water sources. After HopEthiopia started planting trees they have seen natural springs start to well up and fresh water coming back to the village. It’s been amazing to be part of a project that spreads the love of Jesus while spreading life through trees. Since I am in a small village wifi and internet in general are not easy to come by. In fact the nearest internet spot is 3 hours away. So I will not be posting very frequently. But I want you all to know that I’m so blessed to be out here. I recently had a birthday, it was so amazing to look back at my life and see where God has me now. I don’t think I would be able to be here without all of your support. Thank you. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Let’s not forget the reason we celebrate. Jesus came for you and me. He decided to count it all joy as He was killed for our sins. This season remember who He is and who He has called you to become. A son and a daughter of the King. Lets rejoice in the Lord always! We have so much to be thankful for. I love you all God bless you.
P.S.Lord willing I’ll be able to post some pictures and videos of what life looks like out here 🙂
So good, Luis! Miss you brother and praying for you!
