Please enjoy this update from Lifesong Ethiopia:
- Christmas was celebrated on Jan. 7 with a special program, which included singing carols, a message from an evangelist and a drama of the Christmas story starring some of the older students. Since many of our students come from Muslim or atheist homes this is a great opportunity to share Christ.
- Recently 4 American volunteer nurses came to check all 430 of our students.
- Because of this examination, 7 year-old Abdisa was taken to the local hospital and we
found out she has a heart concern. Now she can get the attention she needs. Her mother, a young widow, is one of the school's cooks.
- Because of this examination, 7 year-old Abdisa was taken to the local hospital and we
- Dr. Bryan Stoller, an optometrist, also came to check vision and hand out glasses.
- We also have a prayer request for a girl named Marion that is 14 years old. She was sexually assaulted and became pregnant. Her mother is widowed and HIV positive. As a student at the Lifesong, Marion receives special care and hopefully she will continue her education after her baby is delivered.
