A TESTIMONY OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS

We want to share a few words about God’s faithfulness.  Our hope is that it will encourage you as you stand with us in reaching the unreached of the world for Jesus.

In the 1980’s as we were walking through Central India we met a young University student from Ethiopia.  He trained himself using our BASIC Studies.  While he was in India he teamed up with some other students and started several church fellowships.   After he returned to Ethiopia he shared our material with the church there.  It was part of what God used to make The Church in Ethiopia the fastest growing church in the world during 1990’s.

Today we are having our new learning booklets translated into Amharic (the language of Ethiopia) by another young man from Ethiopia we're training who has a heart to reach the unreached. The University student we met in India (who is now a married man with children living in L.A., CA) is checking the new translations.  Here is a brief excerpt of what he shared with us about how God is using him.

             "I always pray for you and the family and
              never forget the impact of your walk with the
              Lord on my Life.
               
               The Lord has continued to show His
               faithfulness and in Nov, 2013 I'll be
              traveling to Ethiopia for the first time
              since we moved to the US 12 years ago! 
              I'll be traveling to celebrate with some
              founding  members of the church that
             was planted in a city called Bahir Dar
             some 20 years ago (after I returned from
             India). That church has grown into many
             local churches (with which I had a lot of
             involvement) in two regions surrounding
             Bahir Dar.

               The translation is very accurate (you know
               I've used the material in those churches for 
              new believers, except I could not bring it
              together the way it's done now)." 

This testimony shows how God is faithful to take what we do each day in obedience to Him and build His Kingdom. Please continue to stand with us as we do God's work in Ethiopia and other places.  Our efforts are never wasted when we seek to do what God wants us to do in obedience to His Spirit. 

God's blessings on you as you follow Jesus.
