An update: preparing for transition

My first letter to you was about the decision to be made of staying
with Project Mercy (where I wanted to be) or going under another
Not-for-Profit agency if God directed.

Then, I sent out information about New Mission Systems International
www.nms-intl.org which will be my new umbrella from the U.S. and
it is based right here in Ft. Myers, FL.

The last e-mail was about receiving the affirmation from God to go
serve Him in Hosanna, Ethiopia at the Kale Hewitt (EKHC) Bible College.
I am to teach English to the students, set up a kindergarten for children
of students and faculty, and help open the new teachers' training
college EKHC is building near Hosanna. This is a strictly volunteer position
and, not only do I have to raise my own support, but I have also been
asked to help raise funds for the College, which does not have a state-side
office for support.

Now, I am in the process of meeting all the requirements of NMSI, which
includes 10 weeks of training (one week at Missionary Training Institute [MTI]
in CO and 8 weeks at NMSIs home office here in Ft. Myers, FL); coordinating
things with EKHC central office in Addis Ababa for renewing residence visa,
move to the Bible College, and plans for travel there after training in November.

So, if you are still with me, I will keep you updated with more brief reports.
God bless all of you and a special thanks to those who are keeping up with
my emails and no bad feeling toward does who have maxed out on emails.

In His Service,
Dee Donalson

Good News to Share

Dee has accepted a position to be on faculty at the Kale Hewitt Bible College in
Hosanna, Ethiopia. During that time she will teach English to the
students. She also plans to set up a Kindergarten for the children of married students and faculty. It will be used as a model for training kindergarten teachers who are
wanting to start Christian schools in their churches.

Kale Hewitt was started by SIM (Sudinese Interior Missions) in the 1920s and
they have thousands of churches over the globe wherever they send pastors
and missionaries. Their missionaries can go where American Missionaries are
not wanted. The government only recently opened a window for schools in the
churches and the adm. does not know how long that will be opened.

In addition, Dee will be writing syllabus for each class she can teach at the
teachers' training college Kale Hewitt is building near Hosanna. Then, she will
moved to the college when it is completed into staff housing.

Thank you for your prayers!
