Mission Testimonies

1. Ginch Mission

Meseret has sharing the gospel in the place Chillimo  not Church planted yet.

In addition to Ginch they were focused on the surrounding villages called Chilimo and Koree. Places where no church has been planted yet. By the grace of God they were able to plant two churches in these two places. In this time Ginch brothers or Wondimamach Church has taken the initiative to follow up the new believers and they are going to build the Church building.. Also, four people were delivered from Demonic possession.

2. Butajira Mission

As we know Butajira is the most Muslim dominant area, it was challenging with Muslim beliefs and Jehova’s Witness. This confused some of our missionaries especially in the issue of Trinity and the Lordness of Jesus. That made me too busy to teach our missionaries in the night about Trinity and the Lordness of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the daytime I was busy in panel discussion with the Muslim religious

During Butajira mission three people were delivered from the Devil Spirit.

God has delivered her from Evil Spirit. As the witness of the devil sprit, the sprit decided to kill her within 24 hours

God has Delivered Ato Solomon from mind problem.  Ato Solomon had a mind problem and was living out of his mind.

3. Katela mission:

Katela is around 34 km far from Debreziet in the East to Ejere, the population estimation is around 200,000. Religious statistics show it is 100% Coptic Orthodox, the place where no one is a born again Christian. Our plan was to reach the people by providing veterinary and medical services freely. But the community rejected our service in saying “we do not need any service from Pente (Protestant) religion follower”.  We were tried to make negotiation with the community in two Keble in the first two days, but the community rejected us and asked us strongly to leave the area, so then we left the area at the second night. The funny thing here is we slept in the ground on the tree for the first night. We made our way back to Debreziet on the second night.

In the third day we had changed our strategy to apply our big plan of reaching the community in the love of Christ. We decided to use one to one evangelism and in the three Keble (Katela, Robi Gebeya and Kaliti), we stand up at the morning early at 5 AM and went there at 9 AM by contract bus from Debrezeit and started preaching the gospel, home to home and in the street by the power of the Holy Spirit.

At 10: 25 AM some of our missionaries were arrested by the community policy and Kebele administration. That pushes us to stop sharing the love of Christ at 10: 30 AM within that short time we were able to share for 223 people and 35 received Christ as their Lord and Savior in the three Kebele. In the two Kebele (at Katela and Robi Gebeya) God has provided us two homes for discipleship or worship house from those who received Christ with the whole family. In the third Kebele (Kaliti) also one of our student’s missionary is following up the new believers.

In this time we are looking for one missionary to send there for one year who will be able to equip the believers until the church building is built.

In general we were able to:   

1. Expose 5147 people in the love of Christ

2.  425 people received Christ

 3.  More than 250 people are         trained

 4. Five new churches are planted          

5.  Seven people are delivered from       demonic Spirit

6. We have raised 43500birr in cash, 600 Bible and many gospel tracts from individuals, ministries and organization for the mission.

“and the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.” Mark 16:20

Praise:

1. praise the Lord for his faithful provision and protection at the  mission time

2. Praise the Lord he has provided me laptop

My Prayer Request:

1. pray for the new believers that may grow up in spiritually

2. Pray for the new planted churches that it may strong and  multiply it self

3. We are going to saturate each campuses and surrounding in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ  pray may God give us wisdom and direction

4. I am going to Marry on May 06, 2012 pray may God provide all our basic needs
