The latest on the happenings with the Ethiopian courts

March 9 was designated as a National Day of Prayer for the situation in the Ethiopian courts. We know people around the world have been praying. At this time, there are 18,595 people have signed the petition to be sent to MOWA. Our agency would really like this number to be 250,000 by Saturday. I've been emailing and posting on Facebook. It only takes about 3 minutes and it is sooo important. Amidst all of these trials and upheaval, our AGCI family had some exciting surprises. 5 families were given court days in May. There was one little girl referred and a pair of siblings. It is great to hear some good news in all of this chaos. Keep praying!! Also, we had a hopeful message from our agency. Thanks so much for your support!!! We need all of you to help us. God is bigger than this. We have to keep fighting for our babies. :)

Regarding Ethiopia

Dear Colleagues,
In only 24-hours, over 11,000 concerned individuals have joined our Emergency Campaign for Ethiopian Children by signing our petition. We extend our thanks to all of our members who have supported this initiative by signing the petition and distributing the campaign information.

Today, we have continued our communication with the Ethiopian Government and respectfully brought the outpouring of concern to them. We believe that there may have been positive developments and will provide further updates as information is confirmed.
