Dear Mission Partners,
It’s been another wonderful week for the Gospel in Ethiopia! We’re doing NINE crusades there – six of which are now finished – and this past week it was God’s time for the people of Chuko and Yirgalem. Bootcamp graduates David Rotärmel and Dario Guistino were stationed in Chuko. John Whitley and Zack Frapart (also Bootcamp grads) preached in Yirgalem, where they also held a Fire Conference for the local church leaders.
In both places, the teams endured wet conditions and all kinds of challenges (Africa is never easy!) but they pressed on undeterred.
As Evangelist David Rotärmel shared, “I preached a sermon titled “Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” from Romans 10:13. As I preached, I sensed deeply that this crusade began with a true spiritual battle. There was a tangible need for God’s intervention and breakthrough that only the Gospel can bring. We are here not just to hold pleasant meetings, but to engage in real spiritual warfare, aiming to make a significant impact on the entire area through the power of the Gospel.”
That’s exactly it! We are not here to entertain – we are here to preach the saving power of Jesus Christ, whatever it takes. The reward for their faithfulness was an outpouring of salvations and miracles.
