23/2/06 - Project Ethiopia - Underway at last!

Excerpt from FTH Email Alert sent 16/2/06 from Ethiopia:-

"We're at day 3 of a 6 day crusade, I've seen thousands hear the Gospel, I've seen the crowd surge to the stage to receive Christ at the altar call, and witnessed the miraculous power of God at work.

Just yesterday we visited our warehouse. Local church members have began to prepare the 10,000 food packs which will be distributed next week after the crusade has finished. Each food pack contains 35kg of food.

The tip-truck... is heavily ladened with just 300 of the 10,000 packs we have made up. We took this truck to a nearby village and we were able to begin distributing the food.

Peter Sumrall greeted the people, and was interpreted into two languages so that everyone was able to understand him - then the head pastor of the church gave a short evangelical message to the gathering.

Each food pack contains a Bible written in Ahmraic which is the local Ethiopian language. Many of the packs includes a teaching book from Derek Prince, The Divine Exchange, in the Ahmraic language.

I have been so mindful of your support during this amazing project we have undertaken. Your support is making a big difference here in Ethiopia. We couldn't have attempted such a large project without your support.

Thank you for all your support and prayers."

Over the next 4-6 weeks the food will be distributed to local churches in a 100km radius from the main crusade venue in Awasa. A full report will be sent to partners and donors in early March, and more updates as they become available.

10/2/06 - Project Ethiopia Update

Project Ethiopia is only days away from launching. Already teams of volunteers are preparing food packs to feed more than 50,000 people over the next two weeks.

Food will be distributed through local churches in the Awasa region, 200km south of the main capital city, Addis Ababa.

Key focal point of the project will be the 3 night evangelical crusade from Wednesday 15th through to Friday 17th. We expect a nightly attendance of 100,000 people.

Please keep these meetings in prayer.
