Acacia Village
David asked me to let everyone know that he’s going to visit a place called Acacia Village on Thursday, and wanted you to see a video about the village from Christian World Adoption. CWA has produced a short video that provides an overview of their plan for Acacia Village, a center that would provide healthcare, education, counseling, school and other services for mothers and children awaiting adoption.
Here’s the summary of the vision of Acacia Village, which you can read on the CWA site:
With so many children being orphaned and desperate for medical care, a facility is needed where these children can be healed and transitioned into adoptive families. That facility is Acacia Village Ethiopia. Acacia Village is named after the Acacia tree, which is found all over Africa. It is a tree known for its capacity to shelter and protect. Acacia Village will shelter and protect not only needy children in Ethiopia, but much more.
Acacia Village Ethiopia is the newest and most far-reaching humanitarian project ever undertaken by Christian World Foundation. Situated on 10,000 square meters of land west of Addis Ababa, Acacia Village will encompass a variety of buildings, including housing for orphans, school classrooms, and a healthcare clinic for women and children. Acacia Village will house CWA families adopting from Ethiopia, as well as host mission groups from the United States.
Acacia Village Ethiopia will serve as a compassionate answer to the crises and cries of so many needy children in Ethiopia.

Judith,
I was given your website by Bradford Phelan, a dear friend who I taught with while our husbands were in seminary together. She and I were pregnant for the first time together. It has been such a privilege to walk beside them through the joys and sorrows of growing their family. We have two biological children and are in the process of adopting through Bethany Christian Services. We are waiting to be matched with a birthmom. I just wanted to thank you for the honesty with which you and your husband are sharing your family’s story. I will be praying for your husband’s return this weekend and for the joyous celebration that will be going on in your home.
