MY TWIN BROTHER, JOE, AND I TOGETHER IN ETHIOPIA.
A RARE AND SPECIAL TIME!
We trust this finds you each enjoying this wonderful time of year. We just wanted to share some snap shots of the privilege we had of participating in the dedication of a Bible training and refuge center for Muslims who have come to Christ.
We stand amazed at what the Holy Spirit is doing with thousands coming to the one and only true God and now being discipled.
There was much jubilation of those who have been redeemed by Christ. The way they expressed it so publicly touched our hearts!

Bill, Drew, Joe and Andrew (Joe’s son-in-law) were honored by the gifts given to us by the Ethiopian church leaders.

Bill and Drew with Abera. He is a dear friend and an Ethiopian SIM worker to Egypt. The Lord is blessing his ministry richly.
Bill standing with Yonas, the Yirgacheffe church leader, on the first floor of the Harding Memorial Bible College dorm and office project. It is great to see the progress! The challenge is that just recently the Ethiopia currency has had a devaluation from 57 birr to 120 birr per US dollar. Pray for more funding to finish this project from the people of that community and outside as well. God will provide!
Yirgacheffe coffee is one of the most premium coffees on the world market. Drew is involved in exporting some of this coffee as a ministry to support retired evangelists in Ethiopia. He is also developing a well with a solar pump for clean drinking water for the community. Now is the time for picking and drying the coffee, all by hand. Click HERE for more info on Drew’s ministry.
