What a blessing it was to make connection with the Beke Kale Heywet Church. Located on the outskirts of Addis Ababa the Beke church has a vibrant ministry to this rural community. In 2022, 21 people were baptized, and they will soon be baptizing 10 more. There are lots of kids! The church is already sponsoring a 17 year old girl name Ferhiwot (pictured above with her baby sister). Mom died when the baby was only 15 days old, leaving Ferhiwot to care for her siblings. The family was totally hopeless. Now they are deeply loved and cared for through this church body, receiving food and other necessary items. Another testimony is from a woman named Tiruwork. She is a Mom of 2. She said this: “After my husband left, I couldn’t provide for my 2 kids, and I felt I had no choice but to give them up for adoption. While asking about where to go for adoption, someone mentioned Nagoosie (the coordinator at Beke). I searched for his house for 3 days. He introduced me to HBC (the home based care program). I’ve now been in it for 2 years and I can care for my kids. I also came to know the Lord! I have a longing to know him more.” These are the kinds of stories we at FBC Cadillac have an opportunity to invest in.
