This is such an important working ministry. Reaching these African children and making such an impact in their lives. Bring the Word of the Lord and helping to improve their lives with food and shelter and support. I personally support one child along with general donations every year. This is so vital that this ministry continues on. Exceptional direction by John and Lorella Rouster and all that support this ministry. God Bless them in their work. Beth Thomas

This ministry was founded by my Aunt and Uncle and I remember it in its infancy. They have done so much over the last 25 years, it's just amazing how the Lord works through ordinary, everyday people. I just saw them as my Dad's brother and his wife. But they are so much more. The work they have started there and what they have accomplished, the lives they have touched, especially mine. They have come to my church twice and shared with the congregation, lighting a fire in the hearts of many. We now have a ministry of making pasties every month and all the monies go to ECM. I have become a sponsor of an 8 year old boy in DR Congo and I know in my heart that this was something I had been needing to do for a long time. Because of this, I am blessed. Thank you ECM for your love. For reaching out to the forgotten children of Africa, for caring and sharing God's love. Beth Thomas, Potterville, MI
