Thanksgiving, glory, praise and honor are due to our
sovereign, Almighty God, who is the Father and Sustainer
of the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church. We thank God for
what he has done in the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church in
2005. For us, this year has
been a time to listen in unity to our God and through
his power to bring the Good News to the poor. The
Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church exists to bring Good News
to the poor, to all parts of the earth. God richly
blessed us in the year 2005. This is also good
news! The Word of the Lord says, “Like cold water to
a weary soul, so is good news from a distant land.”
(Proverbs 25:25).
The major activities implemented by the different
programs and their achievements listed below are
attributable to the blessing and work of the Lord in us,
and I hope that you will be delighted in the Lord when
you read it. To God be the glory!
