-Franklin Graham Shares Gospel In Ethiopia As Many Accept Jesus
4,000 people committed and professed Jesus Christ, as Franklin Graham shares the gospel at a recent crusade in Ethiopia.
The two days outreach was one to remember for the people of Ethiopia, as many who came from far and near encountered God.
Graham, who was on his 11th visit to Ethiopia, emphasized the enduring relevance of the Gospel message his father shared decades ago.
“My father preached the same Gospel message 65 years ago,” Graham told reporters at a press conference. “The world has changed, politics have changed, but the Gospel does not change. It’s the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.”

The outreach was organized by the Ethiopian Council of Gospel Believers’ Churches.
Pastor Ashebir Ketema, the council’s International Relations Director, affirmed the importance of freedom to preach.
“When we see such events, that’s the hand of God to preach freely in this country; it’s because of the hand of God,” he stated.
The evangelist outreach in Ethiopia is part of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s (BGEA) ambitious plan to share the Good News of Jesus Chris on five continents by partnering with thousands of local churches for evangelists celebrations. The partnership includes connecting the new believers to local, Bible-believing churches for further discipleship.
