Since the introduction of Christianity in Ethiopia in the fourth century and the establishment of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in 1270, Christianity has been a part of everyday life in Ethiopia. Persecution during the Marxist junta was severe but brought many to Christ. Evangelicals increased significantly and are still active in ministry under the current freedoms.
 Give thanks that Christian churches in Ethiopia have recognized the need to work together to strengthen believers and to find ways to minister to the poor.
 Pray for supporting nations to be wise in their programs and not cause diminished work ethic among Ethiopians.
 Pray for a resurgence of the deep Christian beliefs held by this nation from the earliest Church history.

 Pray for showers of blessings on all members of AHE at the proposed vigil tonight.
