Bridges 2 training in Ambo
Pastor Tesfaye Shibiru one of our master trainers went to Ambo and conducted Bridges 2 training in Ambo town. About 25 church leaders and missionaries participated in the training. God is doing great things in that region. More than 12 churches have been planted in the surrounding villages and story telling approach has got a huge impact in this movement. We need to conduct more trainings in the future.

Leadership training in Bale Robe
The town Bale Robe is located in Oromiya region in southeast part of the country. The population is predominantly Muslims, it is estimated at more than 90% in the town and its surroundings. Even though it is remote and risky area, the church did provide the opportunity for my team to train their leaders and ministers. We also encouraged them and ministered to the local congregation. God has done great things in their midst.

Goats support in Wonjishawa town
Pastor Tegene, one of our leaders in Wonjjishawa, informed us that the goats are reproducing and healthy. The children and the community are exited about that because they are able to support themselves. Some of them are able to construct a house by selling the goats. This is an amazing impact.

Conclusion
I am so much thankful to God for our ministry. The impact of our ministry is very tangible in the lives of our leaders and our communities. Our leaders have been equipped through our various trainings. And also our communities have benefitted in many ways through various projects such as school and goat projects.
PRAYER REQUEST
- Pray for our school projects in Wonjishawa. We want to open grade 9 in the coming month of September. But we need to get textbooks for our students in order to get a permit letter from the government. So, pray for us that God would provide for us to purchase textbooks for our students.
- Pray again for our school project in Donni village that God would help us to be able to complete the construction of the classrooms and toilets for the children and for purchasing water tanker.
- Pray for the brick-making project in Donni that God would help us to expand it so that we reach many young people in that small town and beyond.
