Church Leaders’ strategic meeting in Addis Ababa

These are our leaders in city of Addis Ababa and the surrounding towns. We had a very good time of strategic meeting to reach out our city and how can we engage in evangelism and church planting movement in various towns and villages in Ethiopia. We have agreed to mobilize local resources from their churches and support our village churches across the country. They established a team to lead this initiative so that they will be having a meeting for every three months for prayer and formulate strategic planning.

Animal Support impacts Ababa’s life

Abeba is one of the students and beneficiaries who are living in the town of Wonjishowa.  She has received a goat support a few years ago. Her goat multiplied and she has become a self-supported student in our school Wonjishowa. For the past few years, she is able to cover all her school supply expenses, food and clothing out of this project. Currently she is a 10^th grade student and has taken a national examination.

Recently, she sold some of her goats and was able to buy a cow. She is so excited by having a cow. The cow is pregnant and expecting to reproduce more cows and getting milk so that she will be healthier. We thank God for her success.

 Ababa and her mother are feeding the new Cow.

Gospel Campaign & Celebration in Welenchity

We had a very good inspirational time in Welenchity by having a powerful Gospel campaign and celebration. We mobilize all believers in the town and from the surrounding villages to march on the streets of the town in singing, preaching the Gospel, and parsing and Worshiping God.

The impact of this campaign was huge. Hundreds of people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior, the churches in town inspired & encouraged and God has been glorified publicly. We thank God for this Victory.

Prayer

God is still active in our midst doing many miracles by changing and touching many lives. Regardless of the challenges we are facing, God is doing tremendous things among us. Many people are coming to Christ, church leaders are being trained and equipped and our orphans & communities are being empowered through our various community development projects. We are expecting more things from God in the coming months and years. Here under are lists of our prayer request: –

• Pray for our Animal Project may God would touch many orphans so they have got a bright future through this small gift.
• Pray for our new classrooms construction project, may God would help us to complete it timely.
• Pray for our leadership training & development program, may God enable and provide us all the necessary resources so that we may train and develop more leaders in the future.
• We have started a new project for our local church – planters to provide them Bicycles and Motorbikes if possible, so that it will help them as they travel to many villages. So, pray for us may God would provide us the budget for this new project.
