You are transforming lives across Africa!

Last March, through your support, Quiet Hour Ministries hosted large-scale evangelistic outreaches across Ethiopia.

Among the many lives touched, one stands out—Mulugeta, a young man from a small village near Hawassa City in the Great Rift Valley.

From hopelessness to HOPE, through your support

Life in this part of Africa for young people like Mulugeta can be tough. Opportunities are often limited, and many struggle to find direction and purpose.

Mulugeta was no different.

He felt lost and hopeless for a long time, having drifted away from the church yet still searching for meaning in his life.

You helped Mulugeta turn back to God!

Mulugeta’s life began to change when he joined one of the 4,823 small Bible study groups Quiet Hour Ministries set up across the region.

These groups were more than just a place to read the Bible—they were a sanctuary. In a world that often felt uncertain, the group became a safe

haven where Mulugeta could make friends, find support and rediscover his faith.

Mulugeta started attending outdoor evangelistic meetings near his village. The sermons spoke to his heart, and the kindness of the people he met gave him a sense of belonging he had been missing.

Experiencing Jesus’ love for the first time, Mulugeta decided to commit his life to Christ.

On March 30, 2024, Mulugeta was baptized at Hawassa Lake, surrounded by a crowd of believers.

Finding their way back to God— through your support!

Today, Mulugeta is an active member of his church and a passionate disciple-maker. He shares his story with others, helping them find their way back to faith, just as he did.

Our recent evangelistic effort in Eastern Ethiopia (March 17-30, 2024) yielded remarkable results. Look at all YOU helped make possible…

Your generous efforts not only strengthened the faith of existing members, but also attracted many new believers, contributing to the growth of the church in Eastern Ethiopia. Thank you!

Tools that lead to the Savior

Your generous giving makes evangelism possible!

BIBLE STUDY

One of the key achievements your partnership made possible was the establishment of 4,823 small Bible study groups. These groups not only facilitated deep scriptural study, but also fostered community.

BIBLE DISTRIBUTION

Your support provided for the widespread distribution of 50,000 tracts and sermon books (translated into Amharic and Afan-Oromo languages), as well as the purchase and distribution of 2,000 Bibles for new converts.

BAPTISM

The evangelistic efforts you made possible culminated in the baptism of 6,224 souls during the two-week program, with a huge ceremony at Hawassa Lake where 724 individuals were baptized together.

A renewed faith— thanks to you!

Marta, a young woman from Central Ethiopia, had long felt disconnected from her faith. The challenges of daily life had taken a toll on her spiritual journey.

Yet, the recent efforts by Quiet Hour Ministries gospel workers offered her a chance for renewal.

Faith awakened through your generosity

Thanks to your support, Marta was able to join a local Bible study group, where she found renewed faith.

When Marta was invited to join a local Bible study group, she said, “Yes!” and quickly became an active participant. The group’s discussions and the sense of community helped her reconnect with her faith.

The outdoor evangelistic meetings sounded exciting to Marta, so she attended those too.

Marta said “Yes!” for the second time—this time to following Jesus! On March 24, 2024, she was baptized alongside many others in her community.

You are helping foster faith in Africa

Today, Marta is a dedicated church member, involved in various church activities and outreach programs, sharing her renewed faith with others.

Please join us in praying for Marta—that she would be a light to her family and her community and that her example will lead them to God’s family too!

Hope and truth for the world

The world is filled with diverse cultures and rich histories, presents both challenges and immense opportunities for spreading God’s Word.

Amidst the varied landscapes and bustling cities, there exists a hunger—a longing for hope and truth that only Christ can fulfill. Through your past support, lives have been touched, families strengthened, and communities uplifted. Yet, the need persists.

Millions still await the light of salvation, yearning to experience the peace and joy found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. As we embark on this journey together, I humbly ask for your continued partnership—to expand our reach, to delve deeper into remote villages, to nurture spiritual growth and to establish lasting beacons of faith.

Thank you for all you do to answer the call to share the gospel boldly and compassionately. You are helping shape the future—and eternities—of countless souls.

May God bless you abundantly as you sow into His kingdom with a heart full of love.
