Ethiopia: training for church leaders in refugee camps

14 August 2025

Chris and Suzy Wilson are based in Addis Ababa, and work in reconciliation and peacebuilding with local Christian leaders, including through training church leaders in a refugee camp. Chris is hoping to travel to the camp at some point over the next few weeks to offer more teaching. Please pray that plans for such a trip will come together – for the memorandum of understanding with the government to be finalised, and for Chris’s colleague Simon to recover from sickness and be able to travel and teach alongside Chris.
