Mursi
-
The trip is about extending Gods Kingdom on
this planet to include all peoples. It is a spiritual mission to give all
peoples, in this case the Mursi, opportunity to hear the good news that
Jesus died to set everybody free.
Travel - We have a bit of
travel to do. We are borrowing a vehicle and driving 820km south to get to
the Makki mission. Special prayers for the trip down and return.
Finance – Not every one on
the team has enough money to pay there way, the young guys on this team need
people to give them work so they can pay their way. Especially in the last
week before we go. We also need funds and equipment to support the work we
are doing.
Family - The team leave
family who will no doubt be a bit worried about them while they're away.
Some leave behind semi dependants like Haylee, Melissa and Jonathan’s mum
Julie.
Wisdom - God is in control
but we will still be making a bunch of decisions every day. Half of us are
in a totally foreign environment and we are relating to people who's culture
we don't understand so well.
Health - There are a bunch
of health issues travelling to Ethiopia. We can really take our health for
granted here in Australia. Ethiopian’s are not so well off and there are
many more diseases and health risks to be faced
