God loves Ethiopia, and so do we. Since the fall of 2004 Becky and I have made several trips to the land of Becky's youth as self-supporting missionaries. Many people have expressed an interest in this ministry, and it is primarily for them that we have written the following reports. We pray that all who read them will be blessed and challenged by what our Lord is doing in the Horn of Africa, just as we have been.
