History: |
The good news
of Jesus Christ was first brought to southwest Ethiopia in 1952
by a team of Ethiopian and American Presbyterians led by Charles
Haspels. People responded and the church took root. Since then its
growth has outpaced its ability to train leaders. In response, a
Bible school was proposed in 1994. Construction began in April 1997
and classes in 1999. |
