Stories of hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15:13
Sheno Kale Heywet Church
Sheno Kale Heywet Church was founded in 2002 and is located 80 kilometers from the capital, Addis Ababa, in a small city of few residents, mostly dominated by Orthodox Christians. The church remains small; however, since 2002, the church has planted three more churches in the surrounding areas. Thankfully, the church owns the place they have now, providing a great opportunity for the church to invest more deeply in establishing a wholistic ministry for the church members and for the community. The church supports families in the community with clothes, school supplies for the children, and with gifts on special holidays. The church’s contribution to these families has garnered it a greater respect and acceptance within the community.

“I never loved you and everything is your fault. Don’t expect anyone to love you if your own mother can’t.”
