Roger's Ethiopia Trip

I have been asked to share a few details about my husband's upcoming trip to Ethiopia, I figured this was the best way to do it.

He has an amazing opportunity to travel with a group from Calvary Baptist Church in Norwich, NY during the first two weeks of July. Yes I will be alone for 2 weeks! I cannot even begin to think of it or I burst into tears... sigh.

He is going with dear friends of ours, Jim and Tiffany, who have been there a few times because that is where their  second son is from. I knew that we would travel to ET someday but I did not imagine that Roger would be going before me. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity for him and want to support him in any way possible.

I strongly believe he is following God's plan for him to look after the widows and orphans like it is commanded here in James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

Roger will be ministering to the people of Ethiopia by caring in local orphanages, partnering with Christian ministries that are already in ET, and encouraging local Christians believers in their faith. Although, I am not sure of exact details of the trip, I know that my sweet husband will come back changed.

Unfortunately, going on a trip like this is expensive. Roger needs to raise $3,000 by April 30, 2012. We have sent out letters to our family and friends asking for support and prayer. We have been very blessed by those who have come alongside of Roger to support him financially on this trip. Roger and I also have been diligent in putting away money for his trip. We strongly believe that our family and friends should not be the only ones sacrificing for this trip-we want to do our part as well.

The team leaders of this group have set up an account with Ordinary Hero which is a store that sells products to support missions trips, orphans, and waiting children. Right now, if you purchase something from this store, 40% of the proceeds will be donated to the team going to ET. What's even more exciting, is the top 3 teams to sell the most product will get an additional $500.00 added to their account!!

It's very simple to do.

First go to the following website:
http://ordinaryhero.org/Ordinary_Hero/Store/Store.html

When you check out, you will need to enter "Tiffany Darling" in the Affiliate Name box in order for the team to receive the 40% credit.

And that's it! Pretty simple right?

If you cannot support my husband's team financially, will you support them in prayer? I know all team members would appreciate being covered in prayer as they head over to Africa.

If you have any questions feel free to send me an email blbrown16@hotmail.com

Thanks friends for reading this! I cannot wait to see what God does through this team!!
