The Joy Of The Community
Isaiah 25:4
“You have been a refuge for the poor, , a refuge for the needy in his distress,
A shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.”

A shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.”
I am excited to let you know about my upcoming trip to Ethiopia from May 31st through July 2nd. Over three years have passed since I was able to walk the familiar streets of Soddo (pictured above). What a joy it will be to reunite with our staff, who are like family to me.
“Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.” Matt. 24:40
We are so grateful for what God has accomplished through the Mossy Foot ministry in 2022 to treat and restore our patients’ lives. This would not have happened without your partnership, prayers, and contributions.
In the United States, we are celebrating Thanksgiving. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for you, dear partner. What a privilege it is to be able to be part of the Mossy Foot ministry that is transforming lives. What a blessing that we are not in this endeavor alone but joined by you!
Just a few days ago my friend Colleen was recollecting an emotionally moving event she experienced when she came to Ethiopia with me to visit the Mossy Foot ministry. We went to see a house being built for a mossy foot widow.
It is a day of celebration when the community and local church come together to build a house for one of our neediest widows. Mossy Foot provides a carpenter to coordinate the building and we pay for the needed building materials.
