One Year Anniversary

​Today it is one year since I moved to the US. Here are some highlights and lowlights of my time in the USA

Highlights

• My monthly support increased from 49% to 80%. I am very thankful for your faithful giving.
• God gave me opportunities to lead strangers into His kingdom during a bus ride in Kansas, on one of my flights to Africa, and my first skiing experience while sharing with international students.
• I made three trips to Africa and trained leaders on digital strategies.
• I have new teammates, friends and a church. I am very excited about new ministry opportunities with my new team.
• Fun times exploring Orlando with friends visiting from Ethiopia and Phoenix.

Lowlights

• Slow progress with my support due to a lack of contacts to share about my ministry. I appreciate your prayers and referrals.  
• Homesickness  
• Some cultural shocks and I have been misunderstood in communication.

I am preparing to leave for our annual Global Digital Strategy Summit in Vancouver, Canada. Would you take the time to pray for these three prayer items?

1. Praise God for my first year in the USA and for all the ministry opportunities I had.
2. Pray for our Summit next week and for the participants coming from all over the world. We aim to spend time in prayer as well as review and plan our strategies for the next 12-18 months.
3. Pray that God would continue to send me new monthly partners in order for me to be fully funded soon so that I can focus on my assignment.

And finally, in my last blogpost, I shared about the evangelistic #FallingPlates Amharic video we launched over Easter. My voice was used as that of the character of Jesus. Good news, more than 21,000 initial views were reported on Facebook. Thank you for praying!
Serving with you,
