Trip Details:  Global Health Outreach has been going to different regions of Ethiopia for ten years and it is a great joy for us to join our national partners, The Great Commission Ethiopia (Campus Crusade for Christ in Ethiopia) and serve with them in Jimma, Ethiopia.  We are planning to give care to those in great need in this urban area and host a pastors conference to aid and encourage pastors in a country where 98% of the pastors have never attended bible school or seminary.  We will literally be joining Paul and Luke together as we labor in the vineyard in Ethiopia.  This team is a wonderful opportunity for you to invite your pastor along to teach national pastors and invest in the spiritual leadership of Ethiopia.

Jimma is the largest city in southwestern Ethiopia.  It is located 300 km SW of Addis Ababa in the Jimma Zone of the Oromia Region.  Jimma was the capital of Kaffa Province until the province was dissolved.  Based on the figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005 this town has an estimated total population of 159,009 of whom 80,897 are male and 78,112 are female.  Jimma is dominated by Muslims and has less than 2 percent Christians in the community. 

 

Our mission will be a great opportunity to reflect the love and likeness of our Lord and Savior as we serve the least, the lost, and the last and demonstrate in a very material way the compassion and glory of the risen Lord.  Join us as we go with great joy to be a blessing while we serve Christ, share Christ and grow in Christ.
