Through a series of unexpected circumstances the missions board has been put in contact with Grace Giving International. Grace Giving Int’l was founded by Dale Boudro. Our church was blessed to meet Dale and his family back in August. Dale and his wife Yolanda have a heart for adoption and had, in tow, 10 of their 13 adopted children during their visit.
After seeing for themselves Carole’s commitment to being used by the Lord in the missions field, Dale and Grace Giving International have been working diligently to put her to work. In the process we have seen many doors open and some have closed. Nonetheless Carole’s determination and enthusiasm have not waned. Carole says she’s the ‘eternal optimist’. What a blessing! She also admits that she’s ‘chomping at the bit to go!’
Carole has made a commitment to stay in Ethiopia for 12 months. She will need to raise money to pay for all of her own living expenses. This is the life of a missionary. So far her fund raising efforts have been very fruitful and she is significantly on her way to being funded. Thank you to all of you who have been moved to give!
Carole has a partner in this mission named Sandra Weiler. Sandra lives in Ashland and has also been called to be a missionary in Ethiopia. Please pray for them both!
Here are a few pics of a get together with Sandra and the Boudro’s at Carole’s house:
