Our team in Ethiopia has shared these three key prayer points for the ministry with the Awi people through agriculture:
Praise God for the Ethiopian Leadership He has raised up to continue to manage the 5Fs project’s operations! Pray for them as they pursue their own vision and mission within the 3 year project agreement they have with the Ethiopian government.
Part of this project’s renewed vision is to go deeper into the Awi countryside in partnership with other believers to raise up local Farmer Promoters (experts) for many of our technical agricultural development initiatives, and who may also be open to receiving and sharing the Gospel within their Awi communities.
For the rural, Awi, landless youth who seem most eager to adapt and change both in business/farming practices and spiritual/relational practices.
