Welcome to Liquid ETHIOPIA Blog

Dear High School Students
I am so stoked after the Parents Meeting, especially knowing that you have six months to get your finances together for a trip to AFRICA is a huge relief.

You definitely want to pick up info that you missed at the Parents Meeting last week. You can email me at christabelc@calvaryftl.org or call 954-556-4364, and I will try to help you or your parents with their queries.

We also showed a video on Ethiopia, and would like for you to check it out, discuss what you see and hear visually about Ethiopia in the video clip with your family, especially if God has called you to take part in, you need their full support.

We are encouraging all of you (since we can only bring 30 students) who felt led to take part in this pioneer mission trip with Compassion to Ethiopia, to do the following:
1. Read this Book: "Too Small to Ignore" by Wess Stafford
This book totally changes my idea of mission work in Africa, how unique their culture is compared to the Western or Asian ones. How children are raised and as so important, to be seen and heard. We will discuss this during our training.
2. Get Immunizations updated for Ethiopia - Updated List from The Ethiopia Trip Packet
3. Get Registered online when it opens on Oct 1, 08.
4. Put together a fundraising and support letter, that will clearly share why you desire and felt called to Ethiopia.
5. Pray for African children that are orphaned by parents who have died from HIV. (We will meet many of them on the trip!!!)
6. Pick up a Lonely Planet Phrase Book - Amharic Language.
7. Send me creative ideas on fundraising that you and a group of your friends are committed to doing.
8. Pray weekly for Ethiopia and what God is weeding out in your life.
9. Speak out for those who can't, especially the poor, the hungry, the widow, the orphaned in our local community.
10. Be steadfast in your faith. Monies don't move mountains but faith does.

I can't wait to see what God has in store for us.

Blessings, christabel
