Summary

In the past 30 years, evangelical Christians in Ethiopia have grown from 1% of the population to more than 20%. Allan Sherer, the Horn of Africa Director for Front Line Mission, calls that church growth "one of the great gospel stories of our generation." That growth hasn't come without challenges and persecution. And now the challenge is to keep up with the demand for trained pastors and leaders. We'll hear about Front Line's efforts to meet that need, as well as the amazing ways God is raising up leaders and church planters in Ethiopia and even into the neighboring countries.
