Our Lord not only opened doors to make this trip possible but continually blessed through His presence and the power in His word as we shared the message of being “in Christ” with our brothers and sisters in Christ in this ancient land of biblical beginnings.

My host, Mulugeta Ashagre, is the head of the Ethiopian Brethren Church denomination.  This mature body of believers comprises more than 200 churches and growing. My task was to encourage pastors, congregations and support groups in the reality of God’s presence among them. That is to say, we took a hard look at being “in Christ."
