Flying
in Africa in small missionary planes like the Cessna described
here
isn’t always as comfortable as jet travel is here in America.
Those small planes can really be tossed around by updrafts
of warm air as they fly over canyons and ridges.
I remember some flights I took while in Ethiopia that
made me feel like I was on a monster roller-coaster. Although
I don’t get motion sick easily, it took me a full day
to recover from one of those particularly turbulent flights.

With more
than 50 percent of the population of
Ethiopia under age 25, churches are
filled with young people who need to
make their parents’ faith their own.
Unfortunately, few believers—even
pastors—know how to disciple young
Christians into spiritual maturity.
But thanks to the prayers and financial
gifts of committed friends like you,
more than 225 Christian leaders are
now participating in SIM’s Disciple-Making
Pastors Training Program.
|
| Thanks
to your support, more than 225
key church leaders are being
discipled in Christ while being
equipped to teach others how
to be disciple-making believers. |
|
Throughout this two-year program, key church
leaders learn how to disciple believers in
important aspects of the Christian life such
as understanding God’s Word, living in relationship
to Christ, learning how to be godly leaders,
and discovering how to reach others with the
gospel.
Through the process of being discipled themselves,
these leaders are learning how to train others
to be disciple-makers—multiplying the
impact of the Disciple-Making program and
allowing it to impact even more lives.
This program has such tremendous potential to strengthen the church in Ethiopia that one church leader offered to pay the transportation costs to allow each of the pastors from his district to attend the program!
Pastors who have attended the program have already told us how meaningful it has been for them, but the greatest benefit of the program will be seeing more and more Ethiopian believers growing into maturity in Christ and becoming more like Jesus in every aspect of their lives.
