Introduction:
Great Commission Ministry Church ministry global developed new direction to participated in church planting movement directly, and developed a training and coaching curriculum called “Multiplying Churches and Community” MC2” It has four phases; each phase needs at least three month implementation period before go to the next phase.

1. Addis Ababa Church Movement
In half of 2014 our leadership team have understood the need and established a team who focuses on reaching Addis Ababa.
Let me share you some of the need why we should focus on reaching Addis Ababa City intentionally.
Addis Ababa is the Capital City Ethiopia, which has political and socio-economic impact for the country.
Addis Ababa City is one of the unreached cities of the world. Even after a century of mission efforts. According to the 2007 general census of Ethiopia there were only 7.8 Evangelical Christians, compared to 74% Orthodox Tewahedo believers and around 16.2% Muslims.
Addis Ababa is characterized by wide spread socio-economic problems. Research shows that 150,000 woman’s commit adulatory every night. Ironically, however, many evangelical churches seem satisfied with what they have achieved and have almost ceased their evangelistic efforts.
Most Church planting efforts in the city are not focused on the more than 92% unreached residents of the city rather characterized by sheep stealing and internal competition. It is becoming common to see that new denominations grow almost every year without new vision or strategy, instantly booming but shrinking in a short while.
For this reason from September 2014 I am coordinating Addis Ababa City Church Movement. It is a new department for our ministry, before we Great Commission Ministry Ethiopia have not focused working in Addis Ababa City as a missioned targeted area specially in the department of Church led movement, unless local church initiations.
For this year we have selected three sites (CMC, Akaki, Sdist Killo and surroundings); and assigned two staff in each site with a responsibility of coaching each church planters weekly base.
In the five month effort within Addis Ababa City in the grace and power of God we could mobilized and trained more than 212 people for evangelism and church planting, exposed more than 3225 people in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and 389 people accepted Christ as their personal savior and Lord. In 11 place new follow up groups initiative has been taken which expected to grow multiplying church. In addition through our Action Group initiative we also shared the gospel for more than 5000 people and 2869 people come to Christ.

2. Children Ministry
As you I updated you in my pervious news letter since January 2014 I have been engaged in children ministry which God cares more. As written “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.” Matt 18:6 &14 (NIV)
In September and January we had five days training called “Seed Planters Training” for key children ministry leaders Hwassa and Addis Ababa Bole city respectively. In both place more than 145 church leaders participated in the vision sharing program before the training held. In both place we have trained Children ministry techniques and curriculum for 258 selected key children ministers from 131 local churches and ministries. Through them and our team more than 410 children ministries have been trained 3-2 days version training). In the church where this curriculum implemented children are excited to memorize verses every week, loved the program, growing spiritually, family are excited. In some place non believer children’s are joining the program, some are decided to follow Christ. Praise Jesus!

3. Semen Synod Church Planting Movement
Since July 2014 I been personal working church planting movement with Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekaneyesus North Synod which covers the whole north part of the country and some part of Afar, Oromia regions. Our plan is planting multiplying churches and community movement among the North Synod targeted area regions.

For this reason the Synod leaders with local congregation leaders they selected 38 key church planters.
I met with them October 2-3 2014 for the first phase multiplying church movement training. According to the training each church planters planned four month activities which mainly focused on evangelizing abundantly using different techniques and forming follow up groups which is mandatory to participate in the next phase.
According 31 church planters report in the last four month they could trained more than 260 people for prayer and evangelism, more than 3882 people heard the good news of Jesus Christ, 597 people accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Praise

Praise for those 12,107 people who heard the good news of Jesus Christ, and 3855 joined the kingdom

Pray for resources may the Lord provide all needs for the movement
