"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?  Can such faith save him?  Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."   James 2:14-17

For only $30 a month, you can support a child living in desperate need of hope.  Did you know that 65% of Ethiopians are unemployed?  Illiteracy affects 65% of the people, especially those in rural areas.  Your monthly donation will help to provide food, shelter and discipleship for these children who are from the poorest of families in Ethiopia.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child, please email us at support@ywamethiopia.com. 

Shiferaw is two years old and has myelomeningocele - a form of spina bifida. His little backbone and spinal canal did not close before he was born. He is suffering from all the complications of this disease and is also challenged cognitively. Little Shiferaw has a very loving father who has had sole care of his little boy since his wife died of breast cancer a year ago. This father is a strong Christian man who is struggling to provide and care for his son. He tries to balance making a living and meeting the physical needs of his little boy.

YWAM hopes to find several families who will sponsor this man and his son. He needs to hire a caregiver and get him to physical therapy and medical appointments.  Please pray for Shiferaw and his father!
