In the last three months I was busy in reading many books, writhing , meeting with some people who has a passion and concern for the lost and who are working among the lost that I’m working strategically, and prayer to prepare the first training material. In the grace of God I could able to produce the first basic training material and to collect their strategy from different sources.  I could finish writing the first training book and organizing their strategy in the last week. In  the will of God I believe we could print after a months. I’m just waiting some time for some comments and typing to print.

In the month of December 2012 and January 2013 I was train 70 selected students from Ketebe Teacher Education College in Canaan Movement. After the training those 70 students went to different area; some of them Diredawa and  Harar and the rest at Addis Ababa surrounding Ketebe for a one week mission. In the power of the Holy Spirit they could able to share the gospel for  2778 people and from those 155 people are received Christ as their Lord and Savior. As Antetneh said the result that they have achieved is the impact of the training, before the training most of them were developed  negative thinking about the lost, but through and after the training they challenged to believe as they can able  to share their faith to lost and our faithful God also showed them how the lost are hungry for the gospel in field. Be glory to the Lord who knows the way to teach us.  

In the grace of God me and my wife we could able to motivate our neighbors for Bible Study since December 2012. Two of them are nominal Christian and five of them are fanatic orthodox believers. We do Bible study in every Wednesday and Saturday night from 8:00 PM to 9:15 Pm in our home. We are studying the Book of Romans. We have finished the first 6 chapters. In the middle of chapter two one decided to give his life to Christ, and his friend also challenged to accepted Christ in the middle of Chapter three but not decided yet.

On the other hand in February my wife went to Minijar  for one week mission with 14 students from Addis Ababa Institute of Technology the place where she was worked for two years one years ago. Minijar is a challenging area that almost all the people are closed heart for the gospel of Christ because of their religious sensitivity and their culture backwardness. They faced some warning oral but not physically.  Finally they shared the gospel for 720 people and 85 people receive Christ as their savior and Lord. Amazing thing is all the students who went Minijar are challenged in the love of the lost and decided to send one missionary, they are raising money and looking for the missionary. Please join them in the Harvest through your prayer!   On the other hand 20 students from Addis Ababa University College of Commerce while my wife is ministering went to TuluBollo for one week mission. They also able to share the gospel for 800 people and 20 people accepted Christ as their Savior and Lord! They also offered some student books and dictionaries for High school students. God has working Amazingly with Addis Ababa University College of Commerce Students, after the break semester mission all the christian student are compassionate to share the love of God for the lost. In the help of the Lord the they decided to share their faith daily in the school compound and surrounding in dividing into groups every daily. for Example Friday the whole fellowship members, Tuesday Action Group with Prayer team, Wednesday Action Group with Bible Study team….  Because of that many people are getting the opportunity to hear about Christ and coming to their TRUE Savoir.  DON’T FORGET PRAYING FOR THEM EVERYDAY AS THEY ARE TAKING THE INITIATIVE Please!

On the way he went to the prison and shared the love of Christ  18 people come to Christ and he offered the New Testament Bible them, now they are studying Bible together.

After the Prison the Holy Spirit lead him to Ashufe 35 Km far from Debreziet. He arrived at the night and meet the Kebele Administration and explained him as he is came there to share the love of God. The kebele Administration against his idea and took him to the Prison  and arrested. Mirtsew started sharing the gospel for the Police man and the police man released him from the prison in that night. After he came out from the prison he meet again the Kebele Administration and asked him please take me in your home. I don’t know any one here please host me as your guest . Then the Administration was bring him in his home. At that night Mirtsew shared the gospel for the whole family and 8 people give their life to Christ except the Administer.

2. Adulala Training and Outreach Expo

Missionaries

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:

Evangelism

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:

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

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!
