Addis Women’s Coaches

There have now been two meetings with the female coaches in Addis. Their ages range from 17 to 30 something.. Some are assistant coaches and some have up to four teams they are coaching! Some have had training in being a coach and some have had none. But what they all have is a position to impact lives of the youth in Ethiopia for the Kingdom of God ! They hold authority over these kids’ lives as a coach- for an outlet to have fun as a kid in the midst of a difficult country to grow up in…as a role model to follow a Godly lifestyle of pouring out love and Truth when all around are Satanic forces…as a mother-figure to those who no longer have a mom due to many illnesses running rampant, including HIV-AIDS…as a daughter of the most High King to show that women, in the midst of being oppressed, can have the assurance and confidence of a warrior in God’s Kingdom to usher many through the gates of freedom!

This is the truth we desire to impart to these beautiful women! Please join us in prayer as the Holy Spirit delivers this message to their hearts! Already, we have seen the Holy Spirit’s work in this…last week during one of our fasting and prayer times with our fellowship group, we prayed about the vision to encourage other fellowship groups all throughout Addis. As our Ethiopian sisters were sharing and praying, they got so excited and inspired that they now want to spread these fellowship groups all throughout Ethiopia ! I thank God for the vision and desires He gives us and that His plans for our lives are greater than we can imagine!

Please pray for these women and our last month together with them! In a couple weeks we will be going to Langano with them and our Charlotte Lady Eagles team!
