This week was set to be an active week serving in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, alongside a wonderful team of 14. Yet, as plans often remind us, the Lord’s ways are higher than ours. Our flights went through Dubai, and the realities of war changed everything. Though alternate flights weren’t available, God’s grace was evident in every step.

At Adera, we know that for each of our students, passing Ethiopia’s sixth, eighth, and twelfth grade national exams is not just an academic milestone — it’s a lifeline.

At Adera, bead parties are more than just creative gatherings—they’re a way to build community, celebrate culture, and share stories of transformation.

At Adera, we believe in the power of presence. Physical touch, connection, and shared experiences are vital to both emotional and physical well-being.
