Our Directors Celebrating the Ethiopian New Year
Ethiopia has just celebrated the arrival of their New Year, ushering in the year 2017 according to their unique calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar used by much of the world, Ethiopia follows the Ethiopian calendar, which is about seven to eight years behind due to differences in the calculation of the date of the Annunciation of Christ. Our directors got to celebrate with local church leaders and their families, welcoming in the new year (Celebrating 2017 for the second time in their lives)
Delivery and Distribution of NTYAS Booklets
On 10 September, the eagerly awaited Now That You Are Saved booklets – designed for new converts – were delivered from the printers to all the campaign cities. The arrival sparked much excitement, with many local volunteers enthusiastically assisting in the offloading.
