December 1, 2010 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EFFORT AFRICA! A word from Gary Steidl, founder:
"Happy Birthday EFFORT. It has gone from literally nothing to a viable ministry in Ethiopia. Praise God! Who could have ever imagined that in one year we could have a partner church with an amazing pastor (Pastor Solomon), rent a guest house, hire a tutor for our kids, have a very committed family coordinator (Eshetu), and support 20 fully sponsored kids. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us! Halleluiah!"
