Finding New Life

Hope Within the Prison Walls

“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

In February, a Sunday worship service at Arba Minch Women’s Prison offered a beautiful reminder that God’s mercy reaches every corner. As women gathered to worship and pray, we were grateful for the opportunity to share the hope of Christ and remind them that they are loved and not forgotten.

We also have wonderful news to celebrate: eight women have given their lives to Jesus and been baptized! We rejoice with them as they take this step of faith.

Through Love for Ethiopia’s discipleship program, women who wish to participate gather for weekly Bible study with our female Bible teacher. These gatherings provide opportunities to learn from Scripture, ask questions, pray together, and find encouragement amid the hardships of prison life.

Our commitment continues beyond baptism. We want to walk alongside these women as they grow in faith, helping them understand God’s Word and put it into practice each day.

The video and photos shared here offer a glimpse of worship and fellowship within the prison walls. They remind us why being present matters: even in painful circumstances, there is room for joy, connection, and new beginnings.

Please pray for these eight women, for our Bible teacher, and for the mothers and children living in the prison. Pray that they would know God’s nearness and find strength in His love.

Thank you for supporting this ministry through your prayers and generosity. You help make it possible for us to continue showing up with practical care, encouragement, and the good news of Jesus Christ.

Easter in Ethiopia

Fasika- Easter in Ethiopia

After 55 days of fasting from meat and other animal products, Easter is the day to break the fast. It is one of the most celebrated holidays for the country. Many families will attend church Saturday night and pray until midnight. Then the feast begins which is carried on into Easter Sunday. It is a time to gather and celebrate the risen Christ. For He has Risen He has Risen Indeed.

A New Chapter

As the first quarter of 2025 begins to roll around, Love For Ethiopia find itself beginning a new chapter. A new logo, a new website and new directions that we feel are God led.

New beginnings can be scary and confusing. They can be a time to learn new skills and a time to refocus.

As with anything Love for Ethiopia does, we seek God first. We want to understand and discern His plan for moving forward.

As we begin March and look forward to the rest of the year, we ask that you pray for His word to be clear to all involved.
