Tending the Lambs in Ethiopia: a mission of Potter's Inn

Steve and Gwen went to Ethiopia, October 3-19 to provide soul care for leaders and to share the message of transformation of the Divine Potter's Hands. Steve shares with a woman potter who is socially regarded as the lowest of all people groups about the love of God. We were able to lead a group of Christian leaders on a 5 day Soul Care retreat at a beautiful mountain, lakeside retreat operated by SIM near Addis Ababa.

The Christian workers benefited from times of soul care, devotion, fun and creativity. Our team of six people led the retreat. Bill and Grace Harding of SIM and George and Connie Blake of MTI in CO went with us to provide leadership.

The Potter's Inn provided a hands-on experience for the ladies on the retreat to make their own "Beloved Braclet" as a reminder of our time together and to especially offer the Christian workers a loving reminder of their true identity as God's beloved daughters.

The need was great and we are envisioning future trips to meet the need and invitations that were extended to come and help from both national leaders who are eager for soul care and missionaries.

Our time away only strengthend our resolve to move forward with our vision of having our own small, initmate retreat center called Potter's Inn at Aspen Ridge. We came home feeling completely confirmed that we are on the right path that God has ordained for us to walk.
