Thank you for your prayers and support as we served in rural southern Ethiopia last week on the 2015 Woliso medical mission. While the preparation for this outreach presented new and unprecedented challenges for JVMI, the results were excellent!
We praise the Lord for
- health for the entire team of staff and participants
- tremendous team unity
- strong relationships with local Messianic leaders
- an anointed and powerful prayer room team
- a fantastic team of local and international medical practitioners
- tremendous joy as we served the Lord among the Gefat tribe and their neighbors
We thank you so much for your prayers for power, provision, and protection!
