Ethiopia: training for pastors in refugee camps

7 December 2023

Chris and Suzy Wilson, mission partners in Addis Ababa, write that Chris recently had a great trip to one of the refugee camps to train local pastors in preaching.

Praise God that the training sessions went well and that the students gave positive feedback about the course as a whole.

As Chris looks into making another trip in the next few weeks and meet church leaders in another camp to plan for the extension of the training programme, pray for permission, safe travels, and that the meetings would be productive and the start of good mutual partnerships with another group of churches.
