Each and every year, the Hope for Ethiopia team at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle, Belfast, travel to Ethiopia for fellowship with our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. They also bring presents for all the children there, which are, in all likelihood, the only gifts any of the children will receive this year. I had the great privilege of tagging along on the most recent trip and witnessed firsthand the magnificent work the team carried out. It was while on this trip that these words were given to me, which makes this poem just that little bit special: We thank you, our Lord Jesus, for your travelling mercies sent, And how we felt your presence everywhere we went. We place our faith and trust in you for the remainder of our stay, Praying we bring joy to you in all we do and say. As we gather here together, after several thousand miles, Taking so much comfort from the children and their smiles. So thankful we were able to hear your words and heed, And give a little something back to comfort those in need. The days have passed so quickly, and soon we travel home, But we will not forget this trip no matter where we roam. Friendships were established, as we worked with common aim, And with God's grace, in twelve moths time, we'll do it all again. All proceeds from the sale of these books will go to Hope for Ethiopia.
