Growing Strong

Since its official establishment, OHIEM has been growing fast. Local churches of Ethiopia are inviting us to conduct evangelistic crusades in their towns. The invitations however are often beyond our capacity to handle. The International invitations are plenty as well. This shows how abundant is the mercy and grace of the Lord for OHIEM.
The demand for local evangelistic crusades in different towns (in stadiums for tens and hundreds of thousands of people) since 1996 is as follows:

The demand for international evangelistic conferences, crusades and revival meetings has been increasing. God has opened doors around the globe, from Tokyo to Los Angles, from Oslo to Sydney. Besides the demand for leaders, training both locally and internationally is considerably high.

OHIEM has been using every opportunity to proclaim the Good News by using mass media such as: radio, TV, publications, and the internet. Currently brother Gebru is preaching the gospel on four radio stations in various countries. Besides the Christian TV channel the "Trinity Broadcasting Network" of America, the Phoenix station, has opened their doors for brother Gebru whenever he ministers in the USA.

OHIEM has published three books in Ethiopia's Amharic language, written by Gebru Woldu. OHIEM distributes the 96 page passport size booklet, "PASSPORT TO HEAVEN" freely in evangelistic crusades and conferences. We also have a plan to distribute the booklet freely to university students, prisoners, hospital patients of Addis Ababa and to send it to every one that has post office box in Ethiopia.

In our crusades and conferences we see the mighty hand of God in saving sinners, healing the afflicted, delivering people from demonic bondage and reviving the church.
