We sent out suppor letters last week to people. We have been encouraged as we've had several people comment that they are planning to support us. We've also had to do another Power of Attorney for the AWAA representative in Ethiopia. We signed and notarized it last week and yesterday took it to the Indiana Secretary of State for authentication... To change topics, I found this great video that talks about Ethiopia. It takls about the geography, landscape, history and people of Ethiopia.

It is from a ministry called SIM (Serving In Mission).  Ethiopia is one of the countries they work in and they put together this Ethiopia country profile video in 2000.  To learn more about SIM visit www.sim.org.  The first 7 minutes of the video talk about Ethiopia and the last 5 minutes talk about SIM's activities in Ethiopia.

"The african nation of Ethiopia enjoys the rare distinction of never having been colonized.  It is also the original home of the coffee tree, and today boasts some of the worlds finest quality coffees.  Ethiopia's rugged mountains and isolated river valleys make it one of the most breathtaking nations on the continent to visit.  Even mroe beautiful than its landscapes are the people who call Ethiopia their home."
