This poem was written by a recent visitor to Soddo Christian Hospital. He wanted to remember his visit and this was the method God gave him for remembering his trip.
\n
\nWhere do we find God in Ethiopia,<\/p>\n

Do we find Him in the bright, round eyes of a young boy in the hospital huddled close to his father?<\/p>\n

Do we find Him in the quiet tears and prayers of a rounds team telling a patient he is going to die?<\/p>\n

Do we find him in the tears of a young doctor fighting for a patient’s eyesight and begging for God’s providence?<\/p>\n

Do we find Him in the sweet vespers hymns of a staff worn down by the cares of the day?<\/p>\n

Do we find Him in the soft rain watering a thirsty land?<\/p>\n

Yes, He is there!!<\/p>\n

But He is also in the hearts of missionary men and women who have answered the call of God in their lives and given Him all they have.<\/p>\n

And yes He is in the sweet minds and souls of those native Ethiopia’s who have heard and heeded his call to salvation.<\/p>\n

The God of Ethiopia permeates the heart and soul of the land.<\/p>\n

Listen!<\/p>\n

Hear His soft voice and footsteps all around you.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
