Pre Trip Prep

Epic Church has been an amazing support of Awake and Alive from the very beginning. We are so thankful for the church family there. They truly "Live In + Live Out Gods Love."

Last Sunday they held a commissioning for the team during the church service. It was a beautiful time to reflect on each person that God has called to this trip and to be reminded to pray for the hearts of some many people that will be touched by our presence in Kechene, Ethiopia.

 After the church service a lot of the team members got together. We brought all of the donations that you all have so generously given to the children in Kechene. We were blessed to be able to go through and organize all of the donations and pack our bags FULL of all of the goodies you have given for the Bright Future Academy as well as for the children in the orphanage that we will be visiting.

Thank you for all of your continued love and support. We are ready to get on the ground in Ethiopia and start loving on the community of Kechene! Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to go with our hands FULL of supplies for the school!

The Team!

It is with great pleasure and joy that we are able to introduce you to the Project Presence Team. We are a group of individuals who have all felt called to this special place in Ethiopia, called Kechene, and because of that call we are a TEAM, 13 strong.

God has called each one of these precious people to this trip for a reason. And some of the team members are still not sure why. But they said YES anyway! We thank God for their obedience and their willingness to travel around the world to show love to orphans and widows in Kechene, Ethiopia.  We are excited to see what God has planned for each one of our team members. This trip will be life changing for many of them. And we ask for your prayers now, before we leave, during our time in Ethiopia, and for our team after we come home from Ethiopia.

Thank you.
