The Base at the Horn of Africa Proudly Presents our two new missionaries!

Ethiopia, Saturday June 27th 2009

Filip Gustafsson is originally a fisherman from Fotö, close to Gothenburg in Sweden. He is still a fisherman, but now a fisher of men among Oromo, Somali, Amhara and Adheri people on the Horn of Africa! He has already been in Ethiopia as a missionary twice, on the base in Dire Dawa, but now he is a pioneer missionary in Harar!
Katherine Romo have roots from Chile, speaks Spanish fluently and have already after a week in Harar picked up a lot of the local languages! It is her first time in Ethiopia and her first time out as a missionary.
We thank God for reinforcements in the work!

Now we have passed 200 people that have prayed a salvation prayer here in Harar Church of Joy! We have baptized 69 people and most of the time we gather between 40-60 people in the meetings. The housegroups are growing and at the follow up night for the new saved we have 10-15 every week.

The new church is ready. The ceiling has been put up, the walls have been painted and we even built a stage. Now it is weekend time... We have two meetings, one on Saturday night for those that have never heard about Jesus, where we explain the gospel with dramas and illustrations. Sunday night we celebrate Jesus together with our disciples, teach the church and preach faith into the new believers.
