Disciples of Jesus Are Declaring the Good News All Over the Globe!

A special guest blog by Drew Bayless.

Subsaharan Africa, in general, is a place where the Good News of Jesus Christ is exploding.  This is especially true in Ethiopia!  The church is growing very fast in this country! As disciples of Jesus from the States, our team got to hear some incredible stories this week from some brothers and sisters who are daily trusting and following Jesus Christ, here in Ethiopia. Many of them have a call on their lives to share the Gospel as missionaries.  No longer is the mission of God the “West to the Rest” but instead, in today’s world, it is “Everyone to Everywhere.”  What I mean is, that no longer is it only westerners who are being sent as missionaries to far off continents like Africa, but presently, missionaries from Africa are being sent to tell the Gospel News to those in the USA.  Latino disciples are being sent to the Middle East to share the Good News, there.  Asian disciples are traveling to Latin America to share Jesus.  And yes, western disciples from the States and Europe continue to be sent across the globe to herald the Good News!  

We have been encouraged and blessed by the disciples here in Ethiopia, and likewise, they by us, I believe.  We have learned from their teachings and they from ours.  We have heard them sing.  We have prayed together with them.  We have played together, laughed together, and shed tears together.  And together, we trust in the Holy One; the King of Kings!

Jesus’ peace to you dear friend, as God continues to share His life-giving salvation to the world through you and through people from all sorts of tribes and tongues around our world.
Cheers from Ethiopia!
