Bishop Eric Brown
Church group to train Ethiopian future leaders
16 April, 2009
NEW TESTAMENT - Church of God leader Bishop Eric Brown will be taking a group of church leaders to Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa to run leadership training, music workshops and church crusades.
There are currently 120 branches of the Church of God in Ethiopia, serving 30,000 members - many of whom worship in mud-straw structures.
The NTCG is helping to finance the building of a Bible school, which will train the future generation of Ethiopian church leaders. So far, the NTCG has contributed £16,000 to the project.
It also hopes to raise funds so Bishop Hiruy Tsige, head of the Church of God in Ethiopia, can replace his 22-year-old car to enable him to service the denomination more effectively.
