Overcome..

At the end of our trip we went back to the Kirschner Study Center to give them a donation of the extra money that had been raised prior to our visit. We also dropped off supplies and children's clothes that had been donated. Almaz, the Director and her staff were so thankful. We all circled around them and reached out our hands and prayed for them. As we prayed, several of the women began weeping and crying out. In Ethiopia, they give out this shrill cry in praise to God. It's an amazing thing to hear... This photo captures Almaz weeping and others praising God. In American standards the amount of money we gave them was so small, but to them, they were so blessed.
The meeting turned into a great church service as some of them ended up on their knees overcome by the Spirit. He is so powerful and unpredictable..You never know where He will show up! I'm so thankful for this time with these special women. They are blessed beyond measure for the work they do with the least of these...
