Ephraim is coming to the US of A!

This week we learned that Ephraim was granted his visa from the US Embassy in Ethiopia. Honestly, I thought there was no more that a 10% chance of this happening for numerous reasons. We rejoice that he will have the opportunity to take part in our training times, strategic mtgs and partnership development gatherings from mid October to the first week of November.  He is OVERJOYED with the fact that he will be coming to the US for the very first time. Along with the mtgs we have some very fun times planned for him. For those of you who know him you know he loves to laugh and have fun. Well let me tell you a little secret.....shhhhhh......Ephraim is going to Disney World! He has no idea! One problem and that is his heart...seriously.  So pray that we can get him a proper medical check up and that his heart will be just fine for life and Disney World. Also, pray for his wife Yenu, as well as his two sons Brook and Eyob, while he is away. Ephraim is a SOLD OUT sports minister for the cause of Christ in Ethiopia. He is our top church centered sports ministry trainer in Africa. Let's pray that his time here is not only productive ministry training wise but is rejuventating for his heart and spirit.
