Adama, Ethiopia

Adama, also known as Nazret, is a key city in Ethiopia’s Rift Valley on the main rail & road route to the port of Djibouti. It is majority Muslim, but “Pente” (the Ethiopian term for Evangelicals) are boldly planting churches there. Believers in Adama are in danger from the expansion and teaching of both Islam and Prosperity Preaching. Their shepherds need Biblical understanding, hermeneutical wisdom, and skill in expository preaching of the word of God in order to equip the saints to defend themselves from such error and to proclaim the truth to others. We currently train about 60 current or future church leaders: three classes in the Amharic language, one in the Oromo language, all through interpreters.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course 7 equips the trainees to understand prophetic literature accurately and to communicate it clearly and relevantly. Isaiah has been chosen as a representative of this genre. It teaches trainees to interpret each prophetic passage within its historic setting and the Prophets, the Prophets within the Old Testament, and all of this within our Christ-centered understanding of the Bible.

We have a show called Ethiopian Idol. On this show, young musicians, dancers, and artists get the chance to perform and be critiqued and coached by senior stars. The young performers are being excellently trained and improved greatly. How much more should we be doing this in the church? And yet, there is no one to sit in the back when you preach, take notes, and help you grow. Today, you took part in something even better than Ethiopian Idol. What an opportunity. What a gift.
