On May 10, 2013 an Ethiopian dinner was prepared to kick off the new organization of MADIE Ministries. 16 people attended the dinner and sampled the variety of different foods that are commonly eaten in Ethiopia. Enjera was a new taste for everyone in attendance. Phase 1 of the ministry was discussed. The current needs that were provided from the pastor for Muluwongle Church were education and nutrition. A goal of supporting 25 children for the upcoming school year was set. Donations were collected and we are well on our way to obtaining that goal.
Miriam Diehl will be traveling to Ethiopia in June. She will be there for 7 weeks. During that time she will meet with church leaders in Denkaka to establish a long term partnership. More details and updated information regarding this ministry coming soon.
