Dear friends and family,
I wanted to let you know that I was able to visit with my friend, Kristin, this past week, who is the state-side representative for the Kebron community. Kristin and her team just returned from Ethiopia a couple of weeks ago, and she had a little something to give me....
This is a letter from Eyob, a 16-year-old young man who is a part of the Kebron community. Eyob wrote this letter to THANK YOU, TEAM, for raising the funds necessary for their new school uniforms! Please know that this letter is for every single one of you who supported our cause in "13 Miles to Kebron". Look what God can do when we are willing to join Him in HIS WORK!!! So cool!
Kristin was able to talk with the in-country Kebron coordinator while she was visiting with her team. The school uniforms should be purchased in the next month or so, and the students at Kebron will be able to wear a brand new uniform to school this fall! WOOHOO!!!! So awesome. Kristin assured me that when the school uniforms are purchased, she will be sent pictures from Kebron that I can share with you all! :)
Thank you, again, team!!! Your sacrifice has made something pretty incredible possible for the students at Kebron. I don't know about you, but it was worth every single penny... and every single mile. :)
At the bottom of this post, I have included a link to the Kebron Community Page, where I would encourage you to consider viewing the pictures of the students at Kebron. (Click on "Sponsor a Child".) Enjoy seeing those beautiful smiles and knowing that God invited YOU to partner with HIM to bless these kiddos in a very special way!
Also, you may notice that about 20 of the students at Kebron are still unsponsored. As you view these pictures, please consider praying that each of these kiddos can receive sponsorship by this fall. If you, or someone you know is interested in sponsorship, please feel free to email me at the following address:

Thank you, friends!
Love to you all!
Meet our friend, Abenezer. :) Here, he is receiving our family's care package a couple of weeks ago when Kristin and her team were visiting. We love you, Abenezer!!!
