I've heard tons of stories but still cannot grasp it. So thankful that Fekadu has found hope through Christ. Now no matter what trials or hardships life throws his way he has the assurance that God will never leave him or forsake him. No longer a forsaken child on the streets of Addis Ababa but a child of the King with an eternal inheritance where the streets are made of gold!

Wow! Such truth.... my heart was broken for the "least of these" - for widows and orphans starting specifically in November 2009... by June 2010 I was in Ethiopia with TFC, and again in Dec 2010, then serving on the board and advocating daily, then realizing that my city too needs people to be broken hearted for the things happening within it and challenging things like racism, human/sex trafficking... having a heart for the lost, desiring and working to help them experience the love of Christ. Awesome post... if we let Him, God can turn the heartbreakers into productive action for His Kingdom. So blessed that He allows us to play a small role in that process! Awesome Awesome Awesome post, Jonathan! Wow!
