Children's Hopechest Ethiopia!

For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, 

And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,

Because I delivered the poor who cried for help,

And the orphan who had no helper.

The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me,

And I made the widow's heart sing for JOY.

Job 29:11-13

Coming out of blog hiding :)--- to help our wonderful 

friends Sarah and Daniel Dubois spread the word about 

their commitment to the lives of children in Ethiopia 

through Children's HopeChest!

Our family would LOVE to see you on Sunday, March 4,

at Grace Community Church @ 4:00. 

Please come by and visit and learn how you can make an 

eternal investment in the life of a precious child!!

You will be SO blessed!

So here’s the scoop from Sarah:



150 children have been profiled and are waiting for sponsors. (Yikes! Yes, Pastor G dreams big!) We are personally responsible for 75 of them.
Sponsorship costs $34/month.
Sponsorship pays for the children’s education fees, school supplies, books, and uniforms, meals, and regular checkups
The kids will be receiving regular mentoring and spiritual training through the local Protestant church
They will also receive the help and intervention of a trained social worker.








Children’s HopeChest invests in and seeks to transform entire communities, not just individual children. The goal is to break the cycle. If these kids receive an education only to graduate into a reality where there is no employment, opportunity, or even healthcare, the long-term prospects for their lives are just not good.



Over the next several years plans are already being made to:



Dig a well and build proper latrines for this community.
Develop new job opportunities for adult residents to help break the cycle of poverty.
Provide education about HIV/AIDS prevention and santitation.








One of many super cool things about Children’s HopeChest is that they want American sponsors to be personally involved in the lives of the kids that they sponsor and to personally invest in the communities they live in. They not only encourage you to write letters to your kids, they orchestrate opportunities for you to go visit them. Lord willing, we will be helping to lead multiple mission trips over the next several years to get to know our children and to work to help their communities.
