Tonight we held a fundraiser for Beza, the church that we are partnering with in Ethiopia. It was a good time to hang out and sample some great food, and we were able to raise nearly $2,000!

A huge thanks to Min Kim and Mary Evans for doing most of the prep work for the event and of course thanks are owed to John Hasler, our fearless leader.

The first team leaves on Friday, and our team leaves in two weeks. I’m starting to get excited! Please be in prayer for all of us, especially for the team leaving this week. I’ll be posting some more specific prayer requests later.

Live, Laugh, Love is a new blog by Min Kim. Min is part of the mission trip to Ethiopia that Rachel and I are going on, and her first post is about the trip. Unfortunately, Min is going on the early trip, and we are going on the late one. Both Rachel and I would love to have her with us. Regardless, Min is an amazing person with an awesome story. You should check out her blog, and if you ever get the chance to meet Min, your life will be better for it.
