Glory be to God who has redeemed us and enables us to do good works

— Background

We have been steadfastly dedicated to the core mission: orchestrating a multitude of prison initiatives across various regions in Ethiopia.

Since 2004, I have made a missionary trip to Ethiopia every year. God has given me this opportunity to minister in 10 prison locations

Throughout the years I have come to realize that, the task and the challenge are overwhelming. However through God’s providence we are overcoming all the obstacles.
— God's Plan

Through this ministry, many convicted criminals are coming to the Lord and being freed from the bondage of sin and are rejoicing in the Lord. This is what God in His mercy is doing in the prisons.

These are the prisons that have recognised our ministry and invited us to give them our assistance. We have a strong desire to establish them well before we move up to other prisons. With our limited resources we are focusing on sustainability rather than going everywhere and leavings jobs unfinished.

We have planned to expand our project to different prison locations and a follow up for the prisoners released from prison with training centers outside prison as our budget grows.
