October 2015 Newsletter From Ethiopia
I. Our school in Wonjishawa got permit letter to run 9th grade.
Getting textbooks was one of the basic requirements in order to get the permit letter to open 9th grade in our school compound in Wonjishawa. God has answered our prayer and we are able to get the textbooks for our students and now we officially open 9th grade.
Our students and the church community are so happy and grateful to God because if this could not happen most of the students will either drop their school or forced to go to the neighboring town Nazareth. But this is impossible because they can not afford to enter higher school in Nazareth.
The students have got their text books
II. Emmanuel United Church of Ethiopia celebrates 25th year anniversary

III. Emmanuel United church of Ethiopia General Assembly
More than three hundred leaders have also gathered in Nazareth to participate in our general assembly meeting. We have discussed on many agendas. The theme of our meeting was accelerating the work of the kingdom of God by empowering local leaders to transform their own community holistically.

Conclusion
God has given great success in every area of our ministry. I would like to encourage you to: –
- Thank God for Wonjishawa school project that He provides us to get the text books for our students so that we got the permit letter to run 9th grade.
- Thank God for opening the door for the Gospel in Berta community which is almost 100% Muslims. This community resides in Benishangul gumuz region boarder of Sudan.
- Pray for our local missionaries who are serving in Benishangul region that may God would provide support as they are laboring for the Gospel.
