Dee in Hosanna

Dee is now in her sixth year of serving as a missionary educator in Ethiopia. She worked to set up a kindergarten for 200+ students near Butajira, Ethiopia. When the teachers were competent in managing their own school she went to Hosanna, Ethiopia. Now, her focus is on training teachers to become trainers of other teachers. The lab school is the Kindergarten of the Hosanna Kale Heywet Church. Dee is also working with Hanna's Orphans to set up an orphanage which opened there in July of 2009.

The third gift this week

This young man told me, today, that he is 17 years old and in grade 7. Since birth, he has not been able to walk. Every day he has been a student he has walked to school on his hands and knees (which are calloused as the soles of the feet of those who walk bare-footed here in Ethiopia). Even though it is a tricycle designed for the physically challenged, it takes practice to learn to maneuver. I believe this young man will learn quickly and his mother, who was present, was also overjoyed. She said she had been crying and praying for this for a long time. God is so Good!

God has opened the door!

My first visit the Kindergarten of the Kale Heywet Church in Hosanna. This week I started training 6 Kindergarten Teachers at this school.
The children scrambled to see the forengie (foreigner)---that was me. I have been the only American in this region for more than a year. This week I met a young man from Kentucky who has just come to serve here in the Peace Corp.

See what God has done this week in Hosanna

Women's Bible Study
The group is growing and so are the babies. The wives of the students are being encouraged to think of starting their own small Bible Study group wherever they go after their husbands graduate from the ministerial college in June.
