ike's house Mekelle
1Hi, I'm home having buna ( coffee) with my guys. I'm so glad to be home, but it was an amazing trip. The highlight of the trip was meeting the kids in Mekele. It was really hard to see all these beautiful children who don't have families. However, the ones who live in the cell homes are in a great environment where they are loved and cared for. My mind is full of so many images that are so different from the USA. We went out into the countryside and I saw camel caravans, children herding goats, and went to a village market full of exotic spices, grains and produce. I kept saying " I feel like I'm in Africa!" I loved getting out of the city. I've already received an e-mail from one of the guys at Ike's House. He called me his American Mom!! God is good, love, Tess

Ike's house Mekelle
Spoke with Tess this morning, actually it was after lunch in Mekelle. They were preparing to leave Mekelle to go to Addis Ababa and Debre Zeit today. Tess had been meeting lots of the Operation Rescue workers and of course numerous very cute kids in the older boys home and of course the little kids also.

Ike's house Mekelle
An update on Tess, Pam and Valerie who are in Mekelle as I write this. They have met the boys in Ike's house and have visited all of the homes under Operation Rescue to see how we can help there. They were especially blessed by the little kids bringing flowers to them on a regular basis. The staff with ORE is kind, helpful, smart and loving. Tess, Pam and Valerie had dinner with the boys from Ike's house in a local restaurant which was " wonderful" according to Tess. They are having a great time and sensing God working with them, through them and around them in powerful ways. They teenagers at Ike's house are looking forward to meeting "the guys" in June this year when we go there.
