More Than A Job

Our ministry/organization has more than 50 Ethiopian national employees and volunteers working together in the various aspects of the ministry.

Most of our staff have remained with us for multiple years, and have become a vital part of the Ebenezer family. In that vein, there is a mutual understanding that each plays an integral part in caring for the children and others we are called to serve. Day in and day out, our staff loves and serves the children at each of our homes. From the practical duties of: ordering and preparing food to providing clean laundry; caring for sick kids to changing diapers; making sure the kids take naps to singing songs together… they demonstrate a willingness and care that is invaluable and selfless. This is more than job for any of us. By God’s grace, this has become a collective sub-culture of compassion.
