The Rise of African Missionaries

Israel Kebede’s Journey from Ethiopia to the Nations

He had travelled from Ethiopia to attend a nine-day Christian conference, but when flights were cancelled and hotels began shutting their doors, he suddenly had nowhere to go. In a city of 16 million people, thousands were dying daily, fear gripped the streets, and Israel faced the prospect of being stranded.
Then God intervened.
"What began as a forced detour became a divine appointment. "
