A family of six accompanied by grandparents had the joy of showing their adopted daughter the rich culture, sights, sounds and smells of Ethiopia - her country of birth. Although the orphanage she was adopted from no longer is operational, NLE took her to our Mana Gammachuu orphanage where she and her family painted a bright mural on the courtyard wall and had a blast playing with the children. They also took a side trip to visit the rock churches in Lalibela.

In a rural village, Dhetemo and his wife Fate are raising their children in a traditional mud hut with no running water or electricity. A year ago, they came to know Jesus as their Savior and what a change in countenance and attitude! One day recently, a newborn baby was found near death in a field. Fate did not hesitate to scoop the little one up and bring her home to be raised with her other thirteen children.
