Nine Americans worked with CMC coordinators in Ethiopia & Uganda for two weeks. We want to thank those of you who supported the trip with prayers and/or financial gifts. Your sacrifice made a huge impact as new believers were baptized and received their first Bible, churches were planted, leaders were trained, sick received medical care, and many came to know the risen Christ so will join in the celebration this Easter!
Trip Highlights from the Team
Our first week was spent in Ethiopia led by Pastor Mezgebu. We were blessed to be part of a baptism at the Awash River of around 500 new believers who were bused in from all over the region, many who had been in witchcraft since birth. It was a powerful sight to see them singing about Jesus freeing them from witchcraft, as they danced and beat on the drum. Each new believer was also given a bible in the local language. The following days, our team split in two to hold a pastors training conference and visit a school of very poor, orphaned children where we shared the gospel using the Evangecube (cube with pictures), taught them Christian songs with hand signals, and received lots of kisses from the grateful children! |
