Yesterday I had the joy of attending the International Evangelical Church in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. It was incredible to look around the room and realize we were joined together in worshipping God with believers from every continent – over 61 different countries – while not EVERY nation and tribe and tongue was represented, it brought to mind how beautiful and wonderful it will be one day.
It was amazing to me that in this city of millions of people, some 10,000 miles from my home, I would “happen” to run into 6 different people, including 3 Americans, that I have met in various different places in the past 2 years. It made me think of the multitude of people I will one day be reunited with for eternity together.
9After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.
I love it! I can relate to that awesome feeling because we experienced Christmas eve service there with Jonas. I too was struck with joy in the great variety found in Christ’s Body.

We prayerfully seek one church that wants to make a difference for orphans in Belarus, by partnering with the church in Belarus. Christians there, with very few resources, are faithfully ministering to orphan children and adults (with disabilities) in four different orphanages. Thank you for all that you are doing! God bless you!
