1.Spiritual Movement with Student Abdulazaz

Abdulazaz is a student in Addis Ababa University School of Veterinary  Debreziet Campus. He is one from my disciples from Muslim background, he came to the Lord three years ago and he has won his mam, sisters and brother in Christ the last Ethiopian year/ 2012. he also trusted in the Lord as he will won his father and one brother soon. Praise the Lord.

In the  last  month his plan was to build Spiritual movement in his local church youth by applying what he had learned. He was selected 24 youth to spent with them for five whole days. In the first two days I was trained them basic evangelism and the rest three day they were go out and shared the gospel in the church surrounding around Hana Mariam new area and not yet much church planted.

In those three days they were able to reach more than 3000 people in the gospel and 20 people came to Christ. In the whole night they were spent in  prayer ;and day time training, outreach, discussion, experience sharing and planning.

The amazing thing is this is the first time in that Church when the people dedicated five days for outreach. All of the youth were motivated and had decided to share Christ in every opportunity.

2. Adulala Training and Outreach Expo

It is our duty for the Christians living in this generation to address the rest of the world, as Jesus ordered his disciples to reach the world through Gospel of Christ. God put a vision in us to reach those people who need the gospel of Christ Jesus for salvation of their soul. So God has given as a sight called Adulala which is occupied by about 90000 people with Debrezeit six College Christian students.

This training expo have been held at Adulala  37 KM far to West Debreziet; its purpose  was to train 50 movement leaders for seven days from 35 Kebles and different denominations and churches; to expose 12000 people in the love of Christ ; to won 500 souls in Christ, to plant three churches; from September 17 to 24, 2012. Theme –Go and Make disciples of all nations, teach them to obey all the commands that I have given you, key verse is Matthew 28:19-20, The total cost of 20000 birr.

Because of some challenges and financial limitation we had minimized  the duration date  into five days and able to do as follows in the grace of God:

1. We had trained 36 leaders from 9 denomination and different Kebles and 35 student missionaries in Evangelism and Discipleship

2. We had exposed more than 2085 people in one to one evangelism, 2685 in gospel tract, 70 people in New Testament Bible.

3. 330 people are accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord

4. 70 new believers started taking   follow up during the expo

5. We have raised 8725 birr and   used 8000 birr for the expo

6. All the trainee are motivated and decided to do evangelism as their daily life style and planned to train the rest Christians in their local churched and to develop 5 to 10 Christians personally.

The training content was in the morning lecturer and the afternoon question and answer, discussion, planning, prayer, and outreach in the field. (means morning training; afternoon application) 

In generally, it was amazing God has touched all the trainee, they were confessed as they have understood the easiest and effective way to share their faith and some of them were said “we were sharing the gospel in the wrong way instead of pointing them to Christ, but through the training God has shaped us”, some of them also said we were thinking sharing the gospel is not the responsibility of all believers but for some peoples who have a burden for the lost, but today we have understood the heart of God. Finally all of the trainee were planned how they apply in their life and churches as follows:

1. Each trainee were selected five to ten new and nominal Christians to follow up and make them disciple and Ten non believers  to pray them, care, and share Christ personally.

2. They also set the date when and where they will train their local church members starting from September 27 to November 27.

3. Finally we also promised to give them an other training in the coming December.   Praise the Lord!

3. Some unique feature or Testimonies of the Program:

In the field out reach time we had experienced many things that I never see before let me share you some of that as follows:

1. In the first day me and my two colleague brother were meet three sisters and three brothers and shared them the love of Christ then all of them are accepted Christ as their savior and Lord. After their decision we started sharing for some young people next to them; from the youth some were started disturbing others in the midst one lady came with stick from the three sisters who were accepted Christ a short minutes before and she warned the disturbing youth and called other her friends, then they stopped disturbing others, we also able to share the gospel in p

eace. Praise the Lord!

2. In the same day when one of our student missionary Wakijira sharing the gospel, many people came and surrounded Him. He is short  and because of that many people could not able to see him and

st

arted shouting to see him. Among them One old man stood up and please the audience to sit-down on the ground and invited Wakijira to continue his presentation about Jesus. Imagine that old man is not believer but God used him to open the door for the gospel. Glory to the Almighty!

3. Evangelist kebede one of the trainee and  Marzenebe one of the student missionary were stoned in the second day outreach time.     Kebede was blooded for a minutes.

4.  We have see God has prepared the heart of people for the gospel, most of the people were hungry for the gospel, they ready to accept Jesus but the challenge part we have seen the believers are not ready to share the good news for them as much.
