It was a little over two years ago the Lord challenged me with “owning” a country. He called on me to have our church really get involved in one nation. A year ago that narrowed to Africa. Over the past few months Ethiopia became the opportunity. As I’ve been here two weeks the Spirit is showing me the amazing opportunity in this nation. It is such a key part of what is possible in Africa, especially the horn of Africa, and then possibly into the Middle East. It is simply astonishing.

The church here is strong. It’s gone through a lot of struggle, but their leadership is emerging.

The missionary family here is amazing, and there is a growing group desiring to reach the hardest areas. They are so bold!

These are opportunities that have arisen out of prayer. I am so thankful for the challenge the Lord gives me in prayer. After these two weeks, I simply do not want to hold back in prayer. We have amazing opportunities regardless the size of our church.

May we walk with a new boldness in the Spirit as we move forward!
