We often see the Lord show up in mighty ways when we break new ground, enabling significant and powerful ministry in new locations. That’s why we’re excited to visit another new city in Ethiopia next week for our first Outreach of 2026: a full-scale Medical Clinic.
We’re bringing a large team of Outreach Partners from several nations, a team we pray God will use in big ways to bless the Gefat Jewish people of this region with medical and spiritual care.
As always, we know the enemy will work to prevent the Lord’s precious Jewish people and their neighbors from being born again. We ask for your prayers to go before us and accompany us day by day.
Only the Lord, in answer to faithful prayers, can make a deep impact with the Good News that is so desperately needed. We’re blessed and grateful that you are covering us in prayer for protection, wisdom, and effectiveness. Thank you. Your prayers make such a big difference.
Please join us in prayer in the following ways:
- Use these detailed, day-by-day Prayer Points to follow the needs each day throughout the Outreach – and pray!
- Commit to a specific time slot to pray for us from home during the Outreach. SIGN UP on our Prayer Schedule, referring to the dates below

Let’s Pray
Lord, the Jewish people here are persecuted and must live outside the city. But You have put them on the hearts of Jewish Believers in the region, who believe You will enable a new congregation to be planted here. We are so excited to join them in sharing Your love and blessing them with care. Help us and all who partner with us to be a light of Your love and blessing. Bring salvations, healings, and freedom. May this area of Ethiopia be impacted for years to come with the clear Gospel witness of Yeshua! In His name we pray, Amen.
