Ethipia Updates – August 2021

1. Impacting Leaders Impacting Africa:
Mobilize Disciple-making movements among our Young people.

This is one of our key programs which is to mobilize Disciple-making movements across Africa. We seek to accomplish this by equipping, coaching, and releasing leaders to “Make Disciples that Make Disciples”.

Our brother Kalu is one of our youth leaders and whom we intentionally are being disciple him here in Ethiopia. He recently trained more than 30 young leaders from various denominations in Adama/Nazareth/. He taught them Jesus’s way of disciple making which is how Jesus helped His followers to grow Spiritually by leading them from Unbelief to Spiritual Maturity.

We thank God for our young leaders like Kalu who are committed to their calling and impacting our young generation according to their context.

2. Our Visit in Kenya:

We have had a very fruitful and impactful visit to Kenya last month as Unite4Africa Africa leadership team with our leader Rev. Dr. Okongo and with his wife Shyla. We encouraged our leaders there, visited the believers’ homes in their villages, ministered and prayed our churches.
The impact was amazing. Our young leaders got mentored and coached, had a strategic meeting with our African leaders and refreshed our goals for this year. I take this opportunity to thank our leader Rev. Dr. Okongo for his leadership and for brining us together to have this wonderful time with him and with one another.
