Ethiopia: successful training

12 February 2026

Recently, partners Chris and Suzy Wilson, who work with Christian leaders in peacebuilding, asked for prayer for an upcoming training course for Christian leaders in refugee camps.

Chris and Simon were due to spend two weeks investing in a group of Christian leaders all from Simon’s ethnic group, teaching in their own language.

Now having completed the training, Chris writes, “It was, by some distance, the most impactful training course we have been involved in during our time in Ethiopia. All three instructors observed a clear change in the sermons the trainees preached during the course.”

Praise God that the training was such a great success, and please pray for these church leaders as they serve their congregations through volatile times.
