Ethiopia Update- June 2017
New classroom Construction project in Wonjishowa
The overall development of our school in Wonjishowa is very encouraging. Our students are growing in every aspect of their lives. More than 50 students have taken national examination just last week in the first time. They have developed their creativity skills by doing lots of activities. Most of them are also getting involved in various church activities serving God and their family and community.
As we remember some of the classrooms in Wonjishowa School have destroyed by the flood. We prayed and decided to replace by a new stronger classrooms. God hear our prayers and now the work of foundation for this new project has already started. We trust God that He is going to complete it for His Glory and the benefit of our community in wonjishowa.

Church Leaders Prayer & Intercession time in Addis Ababa
As Unite4Africa, United Prayer Movement is one of our missions. We are mobilizing prayer warriors network around the world to have a corporate prayer to bring change to what is happening in Africa and the rest of the world. Because we believe that United Prayer movements are the backbone of church-planting movements.
Though, we had a very good prayer & intersession time with our leaders in Addis Ababa for two days. We prayed for the current situation of our country Ethiopia & the world, we prayed for the healthiness of our churches, we prayed for all our partners around the world. The Holy Spirit was moved powerfully in our midst during our time of prayer. And I believe that God is going to do something new through our ministry.

So far, we have trained more than 200 church leaders through this program. Currently, we have started the 3rd round program and 20 leaders have enrolled in this program.

Conclusion
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.
Prayer Requests:
- 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.
