Spreading While Adopting in Ethiopia

August 27, 2007  |  By: Lukas Naugle  |  Category: International Outreach, Don't Waste Your Life

What does a young, cash-strapped, spreading-oriented Christian Hedonist do when he is going to pick up his first son in Addis Ababa? He researches a church that he could encourage and emails DG with a proposal. His idea went something like this.

I have found a Sovereign Grace church in Addis Ababa. I would like to find the pastor and deliver DG resources to him. If you can donate some resources to me, I have 5 lbs of room in my suitcase.

We received the following update and photo from Dustin:

They were ear-to-ear smiles with thankfulness for the generosity of Desiring God. They were humbled by the gift and thankful to have the resources to use to further the Gospel in Ethiopia. The pastor wrote out a thank you, and here it is word for word:
"Dear Desiring God Ministries: Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you for your kindness in sending all the books and DVD materials. They will be a great help for advancing the Gospel here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Sincerely, Molalign (Mo) Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church, Addis Ababa"
