We quickly produced more materials, and they treasured the training, understanding themselves and God’s calling on their lives in a new way. Everywhere we built wonderful relationships, as we sought to encourage, coach and release leaders! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/e6856be6-29d1-491f-b34b-8a9958b0f104/69934042_521274051958092_4139881971176177664_n.jpg Training for Leaders - Leadership Training One hundred seventy pastors, evangel­ists, and elders from four denominations attended our leadership training seminars recently. Fifty-six pages of discipleship material were handed to all who attended. The discipleship material consisted of ways to evangelize and Bible lessons for over six months. We believe that all believers should take this training. The local church should participate with new believers. The task of discipleship won’t be effective if left to the pastor or evangelist alone; everyone needs to get involved. As the word about the seminar spread, many churches desired to get involved. We believe this is to be our primary contribution to the churches in Ethiopia. We planned a Pastor’s and Leader’s Conference in Adwa, and as a result, we were asked to do three more in Shire, Axum & Mekelle! We spent significant time up north with the Eritrean Refugees, our hearts often broken, as we visited with them in their lonely camps, where they are kept for years! We jumped at their request share our Pastor’s and Leader’s Conference with them, which required us to rent rooms, buy materials, pay for the transportation, and food for 15 leaders from 5 of the big Refugee churches in the camps! It lasted three days, and was a very positive event! Our work is producing strong, healthy leaders for the future. The Horn of Africa is a strategic place! The greater the persecution, the more the Gospel multiplies believers! https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/civil-war daily 0.75 2025-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/211ef973-b5d3-4f2d-b6e5-37bccc2e63a0/single+boy.jpg Civil War https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/134c4e70-1038-4b07-a0ab-3f2012f30dfe/20tigray-04-articleLarge.jpg Civil War https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/12d5914c-07b1-46ff-9fa9-92ecadb93264/gettyimages-1231296577_wide-7545a1d93f5bcad2483ae2003aef2fd31bca8b34.jpg Civil War https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/6328c590-dd5b-42d1-88a8-cd9ed8d008d2/tigray-hunger-1.jpeg Civil War https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/ebc46239-e80c-4b8d-a0c3-62e70c994048/_116767270_gettyimages-1230042034.jpg Civil War https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/c03624d0-e6f3-4758-b6b5-6c32aeab1a6b/Picture1.jpg Civil War https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2025-02-04 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/house-of-hope daily 0.75 2025-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/59f9a1e6-e070-4c90-9f94-09bc956a8881/boys+loving+stuff.jpg House of Hope Boys loving their new stuff (December 2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/d271f59d-52ca-4aa3-be43-aaaa11e9ed13/cash+help.2.jpg House of Hope Receiving financial help (December 2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/243c79b9-1520-4284-bb11-dcfc24206051/girls+love+their+outfits.jpg House of Hope Girls loving their new outfits (December 2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/2e8d3b2a-9de5-404b-a0c2-0d6f933f6cd9/20190913_145455.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/fa959bcb-f37e-48e8-85e3-0d16c0e50bd8/image007.jpg House of Hope new shoes and clothing for the kids (December 2024) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/3a134fb8-28d8-4419-9708-7374cee7b94d/70441393_1206537202881730_1152125449598402560_n.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/e665b296-ca94-4d66-b287-508422af1f1f/image008.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/49a88e52-65bf-4513-ace8-9721a9c11742/20190913_145431.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/fd8de6dd-2d68-4c33-a896-e07570b16e2b/image009.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/876fa375-df16-4561-a7bf-35c5a3a32654/IMG-20250101-WA0001%281%29.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/9d927233-e735-4030-8b9b-452e40a1768d/IMG-20250101-WA0002.jpg House of Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/92856d69-d46a-426c-9673-fc9cb5b43f53/20190913_150336+%281%29.jpg House of Hope Bilan obtained a four-year University scholarship.

Except for our evangelists, house mothers, paid social workers, local staff, guards, cooks, etc. in the Horn of Africa, everyone is a volunteer. Our hard working Nat’l Board pictured here, pay their own travel expenses which can be considerable, joyfully donating their own time and money. We have many others who voluntarily serve alongside, managing programs, sponsors, donations and technology both here and overseas. Every dollar given is invested in mission goals the LORD has assigned to us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/c024a4da-e98d-4073-bbd1-2be25ef19535/image001.jpg Meet the Founders - Evangelists We supported impoverished but faithful evangelists, and their dear families. Many of them pastor small churches reaching out to share Jesus to their communities. Some use oral storytelling for the illiterate. Recently we asked Hagos (pictured @ James) to serve on our local House of Hope Board in Adwa, overseeing the staff, and also blessings our at-risk children there. Pray for him during these difficult times! Let us know if you would like to sponsor an evangelist.

We believe in the triune God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe in God the Father, Almighty and eternal, creator of all things, both visible and invisible. We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man, suffered and died for our sins on the cross, was buried, rose bodily from the dead, appeared to men, ascended into heaven, who now sits on the right hand side of the Father and intercedes for us, and who is coming again with great power and glory. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who inspired the prophets and apostles of old; who indwells, empowers and distributes spiritual gifts to be exercised by the believers for spiritual edification of the church; and who convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness and judgment. We believe that all human beings are born with sinful nature; but whose who repent of their sin and personally accept Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. We believe that Christians are called to obey God's Word and live a holy life, bear spiritual fruit and glorify Jesus Christ. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ will come again to establish His kingdom. He will raise the dead and judge all human beings, the wicked shall be separated from God's presence, but the righteous shall live with Him forever. https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/horn-of-africa daily 0.75 2022-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/4b4d8a2f-78b8-4e84-a7a4-db1cf68cbc90/Horn+of+Africa.jpg Horn of Africa Horn of Africa from Space https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/newsletters daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/sponsor-a-child daily 0.75 2023-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888541882-SQ6LY2MTUJWO0AZ1TXYV/Hiyab_Hiluf_Abrha.jpg Sponsor a Child Hiyab, a 5 year old girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888567105-2BJ6QQRB7ZW66GZDJXEE/KAPITAL_TEKLAY_WELU.jpg Sponsor a Child Kapital, a 10 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888586152-98SI6GNSCRRX9Z7UOEHI/Melat_kiIfle_Hadgay.jpg Sponsor a Child Melat, a 9 year old girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888601946-LDBVJ1U7XFRIEJROPC3W/Meron_Zemichael_Abate.jpg Sponsor a Child Meron, an 8 year old girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888616526-GBEJEER66YXBXHERSVH5/ROBEL_TEKLAY_FISEHA.jpg Sponsor a Child Robel, a 5 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888630578-ABVWPVNIV130SH4O30WW/SEIDOM_OSMAN_MOHAMMEDNUR.jpg Sponsor a Child Seidom, a 7 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888645224-GVUB26YS7MWRTSPVWL2M/SOFYA_AWOL_OMER.jpg Sponsor a Child Sofya, a 16 year old girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888684083-TTMYCG2BNWG767J7COQB/THOMAS_BIRHANE_GIRMAY.jpg Sponsor a Child Thomas, a 11 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888694686-SI89ZMFFG7DT5SC9WY58/YONATHAN_MOGOS_MASRESHA.jpg Sponsor a Child Yonatan, a 13 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888704649-GJPRNJ5ARXFU16WEAB53/YORDANOS_TESFANCHIEL_DESTA.jpg Sponsor a Child Yordanos, a 12 year old girl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/1743888718478-BLX26SE3CC2MX9GQPSCB/YUNAEL_GEBREMEDIHN_TSEGAY.jpg Sponsor a Child Yunael, a 14 year old boy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6201e640d2965872151c93bb/a72d1dfc-07bf-47c2-906b-02c848cdb35a/SUMEYA_MOHAMMED_HASSEN.png Sponsor a Child Sumeya, a 6 year old girl https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722611-SV945DT7BTN3H0QJH0FY/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722352-KE0T070VO49ST8R3HN0Y/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847720867-RDAE893FXFXK3PHOQ7JQ/Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721315-N2H1U9IQOPV7U46ZTICY/Aro+Ha_0393.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721684-YTD6Q5S75A0ZA9UW5PMN/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722018-8TCT6PT455LE207HT5NA/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Gallery 1 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/store daily 0.75 2025-02-04 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-20 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/beloved-children monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/recent-outreach monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/ministry-in-tigray-2 monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/house-of-hope-19-visit monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/hsbpl7c42jjc4astm6kadxr5aktpax monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/g99zzbpwbj8w4ja77tsjz5srtjhdfn monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/ef6cryle8tjg8zz7x2e2df3nl8ah5a monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://www.hopeforhornofafrica.org/recent-outreaches-1/v/gp7mgerksjfy9wbxdl9th9dn4lmr66 monthly 0.5 2022-02-20
