We all know that true and lasting transformation has to come from the inside out. And we know the surest way to impact a family is though the heart of the mama who cares for it. We have the most amazing opportunity to be a part of totally changing the spirit of an entire community by helping to build a grain mill for the city where 4 of our children lived. Covenant Orphanage in partnership with One Child Campaign would like to build a grain mill for the women of Holeta and at the same time, reach out with the LOVE of CHRIST and teach them how to allow Him to transform their families.  It is the most beautiful plan. There is a group of women, many of them widows, meeting together already called, "Let's Have Coffee." By helping them fund a MUCH needed grain mill, they will see that this provision has indeed come from the Hands of JESUS Himself-- your hands-- represencing HIM on this earth to provide sustenance for their families. What could this mean for them? It could mean no more witchcraft. It could mean no more adding another wife to the family. It could mean no more violence. It could mean no more hunger. It could mean no more nakedness.  It could mean no longer having to accept working in this greenhouse-- a certain death sentence because of the toxic chemicals they work with. It could mean no more forced exploitation. It could mean no more FEAR of death because they will be rescued out of darkness and brought into HIS marvelous LIGHT! |
We need just 100 people to donate $20 each through the One Child Campaign donate button on the sidebar. Because of an amazing matching grant provided through a benefit run by our awesome friends
The Stums-- the fruit just keeps multiplying!!!--
this baby will be DONE!
---and we need your prayers that the seeds planted will take root quickly to turn this town around!
Any overflow will go to fund the many other projects that One Child Campaign has underway in Ethiopia helping orphans and widows.
Thank you!!!
There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the LORD your God has blessed you.

Love it, Tracy! You always listen to the Holy Spirit on all of your posts...this will be done and I believe that we will be able to do above and beyond all we could hope or dream!!!
I had to reread your post 3 times to believe it. We are so, so honored to be a part of this enormous vision for Holeta. He literally works all things together for the good of those who love Him!! If you told me that the bus full of people who met in 2008 would partner together like THIS, I would have laughed. Let's do this thing!!!
Amen!!! We have been partnered with Covenant Church for the last 5 years and are so blown away at the amazing provision of God and His moving in this place. We would love to meet all of you someday and want to Thank you all for your faithfulness and help!
God bless,

Hi! I have just sent an e-mail guiding folks to your blog to donate to all of my friends, bible study groups, moms groups, etc to get the word out! I knew there was a reason that I read James 1-2 today! I just had this feeling of urgency & went to my church office thinking maybe they needed volunteers. It was locked so instead I came home briefly before picking up my kiddo from preschool. God lead me to your blog & voila the ANSWER! I'm thanking God today for locked doors! Thank you for continually walking in LIGHT!
Wow! Sandi-- you are amazing! I wish that I could find you to thank you! Thank you for listening and acting on the Holy Spirit speaking to you! Praising God for His faithfulness! -- and in awe of how He knits us all together for His will to be done!
