Dear Sponsors of Seid,
  Thank You so much for your generous support of Seid. As many of you know the government orphanages where Seid and the others come from are overcrowded, sometimes 5 kids to a bed, and very little nurturing. The fact that Seid was dropped off at a government orphanage means something devasting has happened in his early life. Thank you for being a part of Seid having a hope and a future!


   Lord, we thank You for bringing Seid out of a government orphanage and  to be a part of a forever family with Elevate Orphan. Thank you Lord, that all the children are doing well! I praise You for the amazing report that 95% of Elevate Orphan children will go to University, where less than 20% of kids in Ethiopia even go to High School. We thank You for all blessings You have brought to Seid's life. Thank You, he has a mother, auntie, siblings, a church family, the staff, tutors, counselors, teachers and Thomas who are all surrounding Seid with love and nurturing. Please heal every hurt in Seid's life. Thank You that Seid is hardworking and kind. Bless those in Seid's life with insight how to encourage and build him up! Help Seid, encourage the younger kids and be a good role model as well as give him eyes to see how he can help his mother and auntie! We praise you so much for this ministry and how you are giving these kids a hope and a future! Lord as Psalm 90 says Teach Us (all of Seid's sponsors and their families, Seid, and his family, all staff with Elevate Orphan) to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing, steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days! Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. Let Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands! We do ask Lord that Seid will learn to cry  you for help. Lord it seems like Seid would like to be either a doctor or an architect. I thank You for his love of learning, please teach him how to study and retain, and give him a hunger to read the bible! Again thank You for his sponsors investing in Seid and the hope and the future You are giving the kids! In Jesus Redeeming Name! 

Again, thank you so much for blessing Seid and his mother and auntie by your generous, faithful giving!
Warmly, Lisa Rimback
