Our Team

The next Vision Trip to Ethiopia is coming up soon! From May 3–12, a group of four excited and committed people will fly across the seas to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where we will serve alongside our brothers and sisters at Yezelalem Minch (which means, “Everlasting Spring”). While there, we will spend time with the 1,300 orphans and vulnerable women and children who are part of the community outreach and development program. We will bring hope and encouragement to so many people, helping to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Would you like to send a bit of yourself along – a little of your love and support? Items that we are hoping to raise funds for are sewing machines, laptops, clothing, and school supplies. Every donation helps to sponsor one more child. Every little donation helps in big ways to bring the love of Jesus. Your support, whether it be through prayer, encouraging words, or monetary donations, is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

About YZM

Yezelalem Minch (“YZM”) is an Ethiopian-led non-government organization providing comprehensive, community-based care for over 1,300 orphaned and vulnerable children. Most of these children are living with a single impoverished parent, grandparent, extended family member, or even a sibling. YZM works to preserve families by helping to meet children’s physical, educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. The program operates in several communities in the capital city of Addis Ababa, as well as nearby suburb towns in the Oromia region, Holeta and Sebeta.

You can sponsor a child at YZM for $30/month (as a primary sponsor) or $60/month (as a full sponsor). We will send you a physical sponsor packet with your child’s printed photo, and you’ll also receive written letters from your child 2-3 times per year. Sponsorship allows these children get the support they need to stay with their family or guardian, and just as importantly, helps communicate to them that they are loved and valued!
