Our Story
37% of the Ethiopian population is Muslim, a proportion that is increasing over time and has not yet reached being unreachable, closing the door to outreach through outside missionaries. For this reason, producing local disciple-makers is the most effective way to reach out to Ethiopians and beyond; above all, equipping believers with the necessary knowledge to witness Christ and engage in discipleship is the most cost-effective way of furthering the Lord's Great Commission among nations. As those disciples will be living and working with their nationals (in every corner of the country), it is the best strategy to reach out to every corner of the country. For more than a decade, Yavello has served in church leadership and has taught on the need for and methods of disciple-making within his church and among other interested churches.
As someone who grew up in Christian families and communities, the team understands how a lack of discipleship can put the new generation of Christians at risk of backsliding into the world rather than reaching out to make disciples of the unreached people groups. the solution is clear, making disciples of all the christians to become real followers of Jesus Christ obeying him and living his love to the world.
