Ethiopia: Family Divided, Then Reunited!
Ethiopia: Family Divided, Then Reunited!
"Abdu" and his father "Suleman" now spend time praying and studying the Bible together, which is amazing considering that they had been estranged for almost two decades. "Suleman" wanted nothing to do with his son for many years. In fact, he even tried to kill him with a spear when he learned Abdu had become a Christian. Travel with a VOM team to Ethiopia to hear firsthand how Abdu and his parents came to Christ, and how Christians in Canada are helping missionaries like him advance God's Kingdom in this historic land.

- Pray for Ethiopia
Ask the Lord to direct Ethiopia's governmental leaders as they continue to work toward solutions to the ongoing religious tensions in the country. While this is taking place, pray that His people will not become weary in doing what is right. Rather, may they be further strengthened and encouraged to boldly proclaim the Gospel, overcoming hatred with the powerful love of Christ.
