Moria'h Boys and Staff, We'll Miss You (March 9)

Jerry and Wanna hand out gifts and certificates from Moria'h House to our small mission team.  Here, Jerry holds a certificate recognizing  my home church and our dedication to international mission work.

Jean receives a hug from Wanna as she, too, gets her gift and certificates.  Our time with these devoted people at Moria'h House was very special, indeed.  Hugs were the order of the day...every day.

Here, Brad demostrates an Ethiopian greeting by shaking Wanna's hand and then touching his right shoulder to Wanna's right shoulder.  This was a sign of affection we often participated in.

Jean received this lovely deep red scarf as a remembrance of our time here.

Here, the whole gang gets together for one last photo before we prepare to depart for the airport.  We had a wonderful time getting to know everyone.  We sang praises to our Lord together.  We prayed together.  We laughed and played together.  We ate together.  We built relationships that spanned two continents, two cultures and thousands of miles.  We came together with one thing in mind...to glorify our Lord, Jesus Christ, by serving the "least of these," our new and eternal friends at Moria'h House in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
