We have been blessed beyond measure this year to be a small part of what God is doing in the Kolfe Boy's Orphanage, and now... we are making plans for Tamara and Joy, another one of the "Kolfe Moms", to travel to Ethiopia to further minister to these wonderful young men.
This is an adventure that our whole family is getting involved in, as the travel costs are great to make this journey. We are estimating about $4,000 for airfare, food, and some much desired activities with the Kolfe Boys.
We would like to invite you join us on this journey...
~ Would you consider being part of our prayer team? We will be praying for the Lord to provide the funds necessary, as well as to work out the timing details of our trip. Would you commit to praying for our trip as a whole? We are hoping to love on not just the Kolfe boys, but kids in a couple of other orphanages as well. We are praying that God will use us to be His hands and His feet to His children in Ethiopia. We will be posting specific prayers on our blessing blog.
~ We will be having a garage sale on June 5th at our Gilbert home. If you have anything you would be willing to donate to our sale, we would welcome those items. We can pick them up, or you are welcome to bring them by our home at ...(please comment, and I will get you the address)
~ We are trying to get creative in this fund-raising, and we are not afraid of a little hard work, so if there is something at your house that we can help out with for a donation... give us a call. Weed pulling, 1st story window washing, car washing (Kyle is anxious to do this) babysitting... you name it, we are up for it!
~ If you know of anyone who desires to purchase Mary Kay Cosmetics, my friend Rachel Robinson has offered 25% of each sale for our fund. You can check out her website from the link on the right side of our blog. Just make sure to mention Tamara Dirks in the comment section!
We hope you will join us in praying for God to do some big things in the next few weeks. We will try to post regular updates on the blog of our progress .
In the meantime, if you would like to see more stories of these boys from Kolfe, check out the "Kolfe" posts on the right side of our family blog... http://www.dirksacademy.blogspot.com/

We are in the process of adopting two little boys from Ethiopia through YWAM. We had a huge yard sale and raised $5,000! We actually some some nice items left over, many of which need to be sold on Ebay or Craigslisted. We have been looking for someone to give them to as we have reached our fundraising goals. Please contact me ASAP so we can make arrangements to get the stuff to you.
