Ethiopa Update – Feb 2015 – Samson Weldemariam – Country Director

I. Mass Baptism event again- Ethiopia

We have baptized 569 new converts again in River Awash. These new converts had come to the event from 8 various villages around Welenchity area. God is still working in the lives of many people in our communities by drawing them to Him through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

There will be another event coming up in the month of March and more than 500 people are ready to take the water baptism.

II. Bible distribution – Ethiopia

We have also distributed more than 700 Bibles in Amharic and Oromo languages, which are widely spoken in Ethiopia. We have distributed it in the mass baptism event and in various villages in that district.

The people are very happy even to see the Bible in their language. They were so exited by getting the Bible and most of them kissed their Bible while they were receiving it.

III. Various training events

Like we have been as usual, we have conducted various bridges and leadership training in various towns and villages. My team did wonderful job in conducting trainings. Since most of our master trainers don’t’ have cameras they could not take pictures while they conducting the trainings.

Pastor Tesfaye my assistance has been traveling even up to four corners of the country to conduct most of the trainings. So, I take this opportunity to thank him and bless him.

Conclusion

In my conclusion I would like to ask all our partners to pray for us in the following areas: – 

• Pray for those who have taken water baptism recently and may God help them to grow spiritually and stand firm in their new faith in Christ.

• Pray for us may God give us strength to teach and make these huge harvest true disciple of Jesus

• Pray for getting more Bibles for our people. Especially there is so much scarcity of Bibles in Oromo language here in Ethiopia.
