On June 17, your favorite Ground to Cup coffee launched the official partnership of G2C with Children's HopeChest, to take on loving a CarePoint community in Awassa, Ethiopia called "Warancha". We've been chatting about that here for a while and we featured that CarePoint launch at our "No Double Yellow Line" event recently. Our role in this partnership is to gather our community together to sponsor 150 plus children (giving them education, medical/dental care, discipleship) and begin to effect change in their community through capital projects and more. To add, GOING would be an opportunity for anyone interested each year. Little did we know, the Lord would say "GO" so quickly.
Through a stream of incredible events, one of your awesome G2C partners will be leading the first ever Children's HopeChest/Visiting Orphans mission trip into, count em', FOUR CarePoints (including the opportunity at ours) in Awassa, Ethiopia.
The team will also spend the first few days in Addis Ababa loving some precious kids in orphanages there.
This trip is sure to be incredible as the team will get to see first hand the difference sponsorship makes on a community and the children within it. Each CarePoint is at different phases of it's sponsorship and capital projects ... including OURS ... Warancha ... which is brand new in the program.
We have many children yet to be sponsored in this community (so please leave a comment/contact if that interests you and we will be in touch - $34/month) so the team will also get to meet the sweet faces of those children who still yearn the hope of a sponsor family. AND ... for those of you who have already activated your own sponsorships, you can meet your sweet children in person!
Time is of the essence in sign ups for this trip and so I would LOVE for any of your help. FIRST, sign up yourself if you can go. It will be life changing. Next, promote it on your FB pages and blogs by sharing the link to this post! Please oh Please share this with your friends, churches, and spheres of influence! We want to fill this team and love big these children!

Come on friends ... let's put caring for these children's HOPE and FUTURE into action with our hands and feet by GOING and LOVING and SERVING!
