Strong relationships do not come easily. They require intentionality, attention, focus, discipline and lots of face time. And so the question is: how do you build a relationship with a child who is living half a world away in Ethiopia?
This Sunday our community will gather together to take the next step in building a meaningful relationship with the children and families of Guraghe, Ethiopia. After worship we will take time to share a meal and then we will share what little we know at this point about the 60 children we are sponsoring. We will pray for them, dream for them, and take time to write them all a personal letter from our community of faith. We’ll include pictures of our families (and hopefully won’t frighten them too much) and pray that it will be a another step in connecting our hearts together.
May the Spirit of God do something through this process in us, with us, and through us. May we encounter Christ in the faces of one another - near and far and everywhere in-between.
