The Joshua Project states the following, "The Deaf of Ethiopia live similarly to any other person within their given cultures, but are cut off from meaningful interaction with them. The vast majority of Deaf Ethiopians, who live in rural areas, spend their lives in extreme isolation. They are looked down upon as mentally deficient and evil because of their lack of speech. In many places they are misunderstood as being a result of sinful behavior, or some form of supernatural curse. They are not seen as suitable marriage partners and may even result in the entire family's loss of status. For this reason they are frequently sheltered even further from the outside world and communicate only with their families or those close to them through small amounts of writing or signing, if they are able."

I am so excited to share with you the opportunities that this trip is presenting, but these opportunities are not possible without your partnership. I am currently 20% funded and am still in need of $6,000. Please pray about how much God is asking you to give and how you can partner with me in order to help spread the Gospel to those in Ethiopia. God is faithful in sending those that He calls, and so I know that He will provide the funds for these opportunities.

As I prepare for my trip I am praying not only for myself and my own preparation, but also for the Ethiopian people as a whole. Join me this week in praying for the church planting movements among Muslim peoples (Somali, Afar, Borana, Argoba, Guragae, Oromo, and many more).
