“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV)

Finally!

Now after two months here in the Land and with CFI, I feel like I am finally starting to make some progress with this ministry, Hope for the Future!

During the past month I was able to visit two schools with significant Ethiopian populations, one in Ashkelon and one in Netivot, each approximately 15-16 kilometers (9-10 miles) from the Gaza border, and also to bring a work team to repaint the interior of the Ethiopian Youth Center in B’nei Brak (near Tel Aviv).

"But Zion said, 'The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.' Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands" (Isaiah 49, 14 – 16).

Yes, the Lord will never forget his children. He has inscribed us on the palms of his hands. He will never forget his people, he cares deeply about them. The Ethiopian community in Israel is also important for him. He does not forget anyone. Some of them turned to us with their needs.

We are still waiting for a new coordinator to come and take care of the project ”Hope for the future”. Indeed there is a person already coming to fill the gap so please pray that she will get her visa and arrive very soon.
