Ethiopa Update – September 2013 – Samson Weldemariam – Country Director

God is still faithful in His promises and helping us in many ways to minster to our communities. Below is some of the things that we have accomplished in the last months.

I. Key Leaders training on strategic planning

I have conducted training on the issue of strategic planning in Nazareth town a week ago. About 15 key leaders have attended this training and it was so good. Like I said repeatedly God is moving in special way and many people are coming to Christ including from Muslims background. So, the leaders should lead this movement strategically in order to transform our community and our nation at large.

Based on that the leaders in the town come together and take this training so that they will able to plan strategically to accelerate the work of God in our region.

KINALE

The Amani Self help group in Kinale has been established for one year now. The group entails residents of Kinale village and has been saving for a project to buy chairs, tents and utensils. The chairs, tents and utensils shall be hired to various people with different functions e.g. weddings, community functions, crusades etc.

The community is predominantly farmers of Kales, carrots and potatoes. They also rear sheep, donkeys and dairy cows. The crop farming has had challenges of farmers failing to buy fertilizers due to high costs. They have thus resorted to using manure.

The returns from the Amani Self help group project shall be used to buy manure for the members and re-paid with interest upon harvest. This is a case of holistic transformation of a community, other than social, physical, spiritual, is economical.

Pastor Paul Muchiri who is a member of the group, and is our coordinator in the village is proud that the community can be united to benefit and uplift each other.

We pray that the project keeps growing to reach out to all members of the community.

“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.

I. First KG graduation in Welenchity

Last month we have graduated 15 children from UKG to grade one in Welenchity. For us this is the Historic moment because when we begun this school we had nothing except God. We started by 22 children with poor facility. We trusted God to help us and He is also faithful and fulfilled his Promise.

Note From The Unite4Africa Board – Aug 2013 – Rob Reilly

This summer I travelled with my family to a few African countries. During this trip we had the opportunity to spend time with several ministries that are working across Africa. It was exciting to see what God is doing and to encourage those serving on the front lines.

A question that is often asked when someone is going on a mission trip is “Why are you going?”.

Matapato

The Maasai community in Kenya is a traditional community and the Church has been trying very hard to get the men to Church. It has been a challenge over the years to get men to church since they look after animals and go into the bush; the Church has been left for the women and children. This culture has slowly been transforming since Churches are using different models to involve the men, including trainings to Church leaders on Bridges to Oral Cultures.

On May 18th 2013, Baptist Church held a one-day training for men leaders in eight of the Baptist Maasai Churches.

Ethiopa Update – June 2013 – Samson Weldemariam – Country Director

In this Article I just want to emphasize on three major activities that we have accomplished in the last month:

  • Team Building training in Nazareth
  • The progress of the Welenchity KG school and
  • My ministry in Kenya

Team Building Training in Nazareth.

I have conducted training for 18 church leaders who are serving in the surrounding towns of Nazareth. The theme of the training was team building. And they have gained lots of knowledge and skill how to build a team in their local churches to ensure that God’s work will continue in their respective Churches. This training organized by in partnership with a ministry called Arc Christian services and the Eastern Showa Zone Evangelical Churches fellowship.

Psalm 67

1 May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face shine on us—

2 so that your ways may be known on earth,
your salvation among all nations.

3 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.

4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you rule the peoples with equity
and guide the nations of the earth.

5 May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you.

6 The land yields its harvest;
God, our God, blesses us.

7 May God bless us still,
so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.

As I spend some time considering and meditating on the above Psalm it occurred to me that Unite 4 Africa’s success in ‘moving its mission’ is because God has so blessed its work that His shining face is reflected in the countenance of all those living and working to make Him known.

kenmartin wNote From The Unite4Africa Board – May 2013 – Ken Martin

There are things, after 57 years of life on this earth, that my eyes have yet to see, or my mind has yet to understand. But I have been blessed to see and learn things I may never have otherwise known during my walk with our friend Okongo.

After spending time with Okongo, since he returned from his last trip in April to Kenya and Ethiopia, I am struck by the raw power of God that is so evident during these trips and in Africa on a daily basis. The stunning part of this is how different it is here in the U.S., one of the most blessed nations in the world.

Here in the U.S. we often take God for granted and accept the status quo; living a life with blinders on our eyes to what God is doing in our local communities. As a society we have been taught to strive for independence and self reliance. In fact, it is often a measure of who we are. “Self-Made” has become a secular badge of honor in the US, and it’s often applied to our image of “independence and self reliance” for the rest of the world. This is an empty, Godless way of living. This may well be what keeps us from seeing God’s love for us and the work of His Hand during the minutia of our daily lives.

In Africa, where Unite 4 Africa is involved in ministry and empowerment, there the people are utterly dependent on God every minute of every day!

NOOSIKITOK

Children in Noosikitok received animals from Unite 4 Africa, Inc. The “animals for orphans project” give the children a sense of ownership and responsibility. The guardians are trained to help them take care of their animals.

We hope the whole project will go a long way to better the lives of these children.
