Liberty Team Heads to Ethiopia

On Thursday, March 11th John and Danielle Puig with Lee Marthers assisting them will lead a group of 16 students to Ethiopia. It is the first initiative between SIM and Liberty as the two organizations signed a long term partnership agreement in 2009. Sports Friends will play in-country ministry host to the team and will focus their efforts towards leading a camp for youth from our ongoing church centered sports ministry projects. They will also learn about our orphan ministry, visit the shelter for our girls that use to live on the streets, see the Hope for AIDS ministry, visit a medical clinic, see the house of hope, a school visit in a Muslim community and meet some of SIM's missionaries living in Ethiopia. Please pray that the students would be moved to action: 1. that some of the participants would consider an internship with SIM in the future, or would be interested in serving with SIM in Ethiopia after graduating from Liberty 2. pray for protection from the enemy 3. pray for their singing, drama's and informal game times with the Ethiopian youth. That these youth would sense God's love through the Liberty students and the truth of God's Word shared. 4. For Danielle who is pregnant that she would encounter NO health issues. The group returns to the States March 21st.
