“Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls…love one another fervently from the heart” (1 Peter 1:22)

One of the supreme ethics that Christians are commanded to practice toward one another is love! Love demonstrates itself in concrete actions of service, compassion, kindness and generosity toward others.

I just want to thank all of you for loving God and His people not only in words but also in actions. I encourage you to continue doing this for His Glory.

Here under I am going to share with you few things about God’s amazing work in the country of Ethiopia…

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor…” (Luke 4:18)

Jesus said he came to “preach the gospel” but then he states that he came to release the captives, give sight to the blind and set the oppressed free. That goes way beyond a formula.

Saying God loves you from a bumper sticker or Facebook post is not enough.

As a Christian, we must make it our lifelong and joyful ambition to serve others, to be a conduit for God’s miracles, to comfort the brokenhearted, to fight injustice, to weep with those who mourn and to truly love people the way Jesus did.

I believe this is what it means to preach the gospel! May God help us.

“… “Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from your law.” (Psalm 119:18)

God’s law, God’s commands or God’s word is really a reflection of the character of God and the love of God. It is not only reveals what God is like and what he values, but it simultaneously reveals God’s protection for his people. His laws are not arbitrary, but life giving and life-sustaining.

As you read God’s word and as you look intently into God’s word, may you behold wonderful things there. May you see his character, may you see what he values and may you see his incredible love for you.

We are a witness here in Ethiopia and we have seen wonderful things from His word. We have seen that many people come to Him through the preaching of the Gospel. We have seen many lives being transformed through our training and discipleship program.

Here under are some of the reports among many activities that we have been doing this past month.

“Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One [was] sitting on the throne.” (Rev 4:2)

God is sitting on his throne and he has ultimate control over history; Jesus has won the victory and has redeemed a people from every tribe, tongue and nation. Both God the Father and the Son are to receive unceasing worship, honor, praise and glory.

So no matter what is going on around you or your world, think of John’s heavenly vision. This is what it means to gain a proper perspective.

Based on the truth of the above verses of scripture we have been fighting the good fight despites all the challenges we are facing. By the Grace of God we have accomplished a number of tasks in the past month. The followings are some of the things that we have done for the Glory of God this past month.

“In the Lord’s prayer we say, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven…”

This is why we are here.  This is our purpose.  We are created in God’s divine image.  We are representatives of the heavenly king here on earth.  God’s desire is that we would extend his kingdom wherever we live and that the benefits and ethics of this kingdom would become manifest throughout this whole glorious earth.

God has done lots of things in our nation and regions through our ministry to manifest His kingdom in our midst. Here under are some of the things that we have accomplished in the last month.

This training organized by in partnership with a ministry called Arc Christian services and the Eastern Showa Zone Evangelical Churches fellowship.
