We have arrived.

Exactly 24 hours later, we walked off the plane in Addis Ababa. 2 hours later we were at the guest home. The guest home had dinner waiting, so after that we headed to bed. We are headed to church soon, so  will write more later today. Thanks for your prayers. Ariel

Leaving on a jet plane...

In Feburary Harvest Church made the decision to send a team to Ethiopia. By August we had 13 people who were ready to make the journey.The team's objective is to help Bright Hope School in Addis Ababa repair a wall and start construction on some chicken houses. On October 30th we will all board a plane and start the journey. It is a group, who is committed to serving the community in Addis Ababa, as well as waiting to see how God is going to change their lives because of what they will experience in Ethiopia.  Here's the team, Carol Cusson, Edna Mae Duncan, Rachel Kennedy, Sara Kennedy, Patrick Bickford, Kyle Reynolds, Brian Buehler, Derrick DeWilde, Clayton Zerbe, Brian Longenecker, Heidi Scheie, Aaron Koenigsberg, and Ariel Koenigberg. Please be praying for safety in our travels, for a healthy plane ride and  that we will stay healthy while in Ethiopia. Pray for God's direction in our work, communication within the team and the community we will be serving. Pray for wisdom in the decisions made by the leaders for the team. 
Stay tuned as we will try to update each day that we are in Ethiopia.
