Mention Ethiopia and famine immediately comes to mind. What needs to come to mind is explosive church growth, like the early days in the Book of Acts. When a one-party communist state was instituted in 1974, evangelical Christianity was outlawed. When freedom came to Ethiopia in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Block, the number of evangelical believers in the country had doubled from four million to eight million. How was the Church born in this country? Who brought them the good news? What difference should it make in our lives this week? Turn to Acts 8:26-40 and let's take a look at the birth of the Ethiopian Church.
