Dear Co-Worker in the kingdom of God, I have have shared  you some of my ministry updates highlights from September 2013 to August 2014 as follows:

September to December
Ali Mohammed:
Ali is from Ethiopian Somali born in Jijiga, he accepted Christ as his personal savior and Lord in Djibouti in the help of missionaries and came back to Ethiopia July 2013 to know about Christ more. That was the way we met, in the help of God I helped him spiritually through teaching the word of God and showing him my personal life. In the midst when he went to Jijiga to visit his family, he faced challenge from his family (mother, brothers, sister and uncles) because they were understood that he believed in Christ Jesus. Thus they arrested him for a days at home to protect him meeting with Christians and push him back to Islam. Through these challenges Ali continued confessing Christ as Lord, they offended by Ali’s strength and decided to kill him, but in the help of God Ali escaped at the mid night and back to Addis Ababa. Know he is growing and sharing Christ to others.

5 Killo Action Group:
From end of September to December I had trained Muslim Evangelism 25 to 30 members of Addis Ababa Institute of Technology students. In the mid of the training they went to Chanicho to practice what they trained in sharing the gospel to others for one day mission.. And the could able to share 730 people the gospel and 43 people came to Christ. Praise Jesus!
Danikara Mission:
Danikar founded in 50 KM far to south Addis Ababa between Debreziet and Mojo. The area is dominated by Ethiopian Orthodox and traditional believers, there are few evangelical believer’s not more than 150 as the leaders told within three denomination. I had got the opportunity to train the believers there and send them to mission. I have trained 53 believers basic evangelism and strategy called “PRAYER, CARE AND SHARE” in the initiative of Debreziet six college Christian student fellowship. After the training they continued evangelizing, in the first week they could able to share the gospel for more that 2000 people and 33 people came to Christ. Praise the Lord!

January to April
My Local Church:

In the end of December 2013 I became Evangelism department committee, and started working strategically with the church full-timers and elders. We started from changing the way how it was been done. Previously almost evangelism work was becoming dying. Because of that there were no tangible way to reach the unreached. In these four month we could able to establish two new action team with 67 members through mobilizing the believers. We have also set outreach time every Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, and training and prayer every Wednesday and Thursday. Because of that we could expose 2192, people in the gospel, 179 people come to Christ, and 45 were baptized.
May to August
Children Ministry: January 2014 I have been engaged in children ministry when Awana ministry launched first training in Ethiopia. Awana has a wonderful and applicable tools for children ministry. It clearly showed me children’s impact in the world mission while it is not valued that much in Ethiopian churches. So that, I have decided to work closely with children ministry. Awana program designed to be implemented within 2 hours in three segments, the first 40 minute game time, second 40 minute council time and the last 40 minute Team time. Game time is purposed to make happy the children and attract non believer children into the program, in council time teachers will teach them in different way using the teacher guide manual and in team time students will divided into 6-8 members according to their age to study Bible using student handbooks. From May 7-11 & June 2-6, 2014, we have trained 250 children ministers from 125 local churches from Lafto and Gulele sub city respectively. After the training many churches understood children ministry importance, some churches assigned fulltime staff, some churches started the program as it is. Because of that some no-believers children coming to the program and accepting Christ as their savior.
