Living Water

While in Ethiopia we visited a monastery that was over 1000 years old. It had a natural supply of spring water that many believe has healing properties. We shared with the priest and our guide how Jesus healed me back in September 2017 when I was so near to death.

Listen to the birds and the running water....reminds us of the Living Water of the Holy Spirit, bubbling up to joyful and eternal LIFE!

The beauty of this part of Ethiopia cannot be captured in a photo...but I tried!

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8

 Reflecting back on our trip to Ethiopia, we saw many wonderful and beautiful things. We visited many churches carved from rocks from the top down into the earth. We visited a monastery that was reported to have holy and healing waters. We were in awe of the history, the legends and the preservation of Bibles and sacred items by the Orthodox church.
All of this was very moving and humbling to know that we are living in a very tiny sliver of time in the history of Christianity.  It is such a privilege to hear of the many who have suffered for the cause of Christ in this world. Even today in many parts of the world there is much persecution and discrimination of those who follow the LORD Jesus Christ as the one true Savior and God. He is our refuge and strength! We love Him because He first loved us! It is a joy to serve in Niger at CURE International where we can love and live out our faith daily with our colleagues and patients.
