good day off

Just spent the last 5 hours with Aman Mengistu here at Ebenezer's. He just flew in from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he along with his family are continuing to grow Beza International, a conglomerate of initiatives ranging from building community with African diplomats to ministering to those inflicted with AIDS on Entoto Mountain.

Feel like we're kindred spirits as we spoke about the cross-cultural process and the movement of the church past, present and anticipating the future.

Beza just helped organize the African Prayer Breakfast which brought together presidents and heads of state from all over Africa. It was the who's who in religion and politics. Cool to hear the stories behind the event and what sort of plans are in the works for the future.
Kate and I as well as 45 others from NCC are traveling to Ethiopia in less than a month to work with their community development organization that blesses the people of Entoto Mountain, many of whom are infected with AIDS.

It's these types of conversations that inject new anticipation and energy into calling and passion as we continue to dream about the future possibilities.
