Programs: Working alongside indigenous ethiopian churches, supported 36 evangelists working in 22 muslim villages to bring the good news of jesus christ. 20,101 heard the gospel for the first time with 699 becoming christ-followers followed by personal discipleship and baptism. Two churches were constructed in towns where there has never been a christian presence before. Four 2-day workshops for local ethiopian pastors and evangelists ranging from 50 to 100 in attendance were offered to give training in evangelism strategies, basic bible and dynamics of church planting. 40 children in a rural muslim village received an outstanding educational foundation along with christian character basics. Newlife provides full financial resources for an orphanage caring for 49 abandoned children resulting in 9 children adopted to families in the u. S. And 17 receiving family permanency with ethiopian families. Two adoption seminars were hosted with 30 to 50 attending each seminar.
