Jonathan explains the Agricultural project

This is my friend Jonathan explaining an agricultural project in Southern Ethiopia to prevent children from being sold into slavery, working in sweatshops, or ending up on the streets of Addis Ababa. This was an interesting concept for me - I know it is not a new concept, but brilliant, nonetheless. Yes, we need to do everything we can to help street kids, orphans, and widows in the big cities of third world countries. However, preventative action is even better! How can we help these families so that they might not ever reach the point of desperation in the first place? Instead of staying downstream and trying to manage the flood waters, how can we work upstream to prevent the influx of people who come to the cities because they have no other option? Take a look at the video, and if you are interested, please go to http://theforsakenchildren.org/.

Ephrem's Story

Meet my friend, Ephrem. He lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am planning to visit him in October on a Ministry Overview Project. We will visit 8-10 ministries in one week to see how God is already at work in Ethiopia. Please let me know if you are interested in more details.
