Ethiopia Feb. 2023: God is Good!

Written By: Evan Wong

To day was a great day! We had a ton of fun and success evangelizing today and God worked out everything perfectly! We began the day with a fun bus ride where we sang worship songs on the way to the village. When we got there, we split into our groups for the day. My group today was made up of Jody as my partner, Jonah (or Yonas) as my translator for English to Amharic, and Benti as my disciple maker and translator from Amharic to Oromo. After we split into our groups, we walked to our first hut, where I shared the gospel and someone was saved for the first time! There is truly a special kind of joy that you feel when you bring someone to God! It was also really cool to see how life works there and how the huts look. It was exciting because I got to see how people farmed and made money and stuff. At all the huts we first looked at the villager’s chickens, which were all healthy. Once we went inside, Jody would share the Priceless cube (perfectly!) and then I would share the Evangecube. It was really awesome seeing Jonah and Benti double translate for me; they both did an awesome job! After we shared the cubes, we would give the gift bags, which had lots of things to help the families. At the last house, our bus driver happened to be inside, and he listened to our message, accepted Christ, and shared it with his friend shortly after, who I believe also accepted! We also played soccer and volleyball with the village kids which was awesome and a ton of fun. I’m super happy and excited because I shared the Evangecube 5 times to many people, and every single person accepted God! I’m super grateful to God for blessing me with this opportunity; I feel like he answered all my prayers and just completely removed all of my stress and fear! I’m having a lot of fun, which I really didn’t expect coming into this trip. God has just been so good to me this trip, and I’m totally looking forward to the next few days! Ciao!
