Each morning, I wake up in Addis Ababa<\/strong>, the heart of Ethiopia<\/strong>. From my window, I see our city sprawled across the highlands, surrounded by green hills and distant blue mountains. The cool air carries the sounds of a waking city \u2014 cars, laughter, and the faint echo of church bells mingling with the call of street vendors.<\/p>\n

Addis is alive with movement. As our nation\u2019s capital, it\u2019s the center of learning, industry, and leadership \u2014 where decisions shape not only Ethiopia but much of East Africa. In the streets, I hear languages from every corner of our land. People come here from the deserts, the mountains, and the valleys \u2014 each bringing their story, their hopes, and their prayers.<\/p>\n

My grandparents remember a different Ethiopia. In 1970, barely 3%<\/strong> of our people followed Jesus \u2014 fewer than one million believers. But today, the Church has multiplied beyond imagination. Over 21 million Ethiopians<\/strong> now worship Christ. In villages, cities, and remote regions, songs of praise rise like incense. Revival is not a story from the past \u2014 it\u2019s happening now.<\/p>\n

We are the most populous nation in the Horn of Africa, and I believe God placed us here for a reason \u2014 to be a sending people<\/strong>, a light to the nations around us. From my small corner in Addis Ababa, I can sense it: God is stirring our nation to carry His love beyond our borders \u2014 from the highlands to the Horn, from our city streets to the ends of the earth.<\/p>\n"},{"key":"google_map","label":"Google map","value":{"ID":572,"id":572,"title":"ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002 \u0634\u0627\u0645\u0644 \u06a9\u0631\u06cc\u06ba\u06d4","filename":"ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002.jpg","filesize":134421,"url":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002.jpg","link":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/ur\/cities\/addis-ababa\/addis-ababa_page_1_image_0002\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"addis-ababa_page_1_image_0002","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":570,"date":"2022-11-29 19:38:07","modified":"2022-11-29 19:38:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1309,"height":1030,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002-350x275.jpg","medium-width":350,"medium-height":275,"medium_large":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002-768x604.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":604,"large":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002-1200x944.jpg","large-width":1200,"large-height":944,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002.jpg","1536x1536-width":1309,"1536x1536-height":1030,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002.jpg","2048x2048-width":1309,"2048x2048-height":1030,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ADDIS-ABABA_Page_1_Image_0002-15x12.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":15,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12}}},{"key":"people_group_1","label":"People Group 1","value":"Gabra Oromo"},{"key":"people_group_link_1","label":"People Group Link 1","value":"https:\/\/joshuaproject.net\/people_groups\/19603\/ET"},{"key":"people_group_2","label":"People Group 2","value":"Toposa"},{"key":"people_group_link_2","label":"People Group Link 2","value":"https:\/\/joshuaproject.net\/people_groups\/15563\/ET"},{"key":"people_group_3","label":"People Group 3","value":"Somali"},{"key":"people_group_link_3","label":"People Group Link 3","value":"https:\/\/joshuaproject.net\/people_groups\/14983\/ET"},{"key":"people_group_4","label":"People Group 4","value":"Oromo, Hararghe in Somalia"},{"key":"people_group_link_4","label":"People Group Link 4","value":"https:\/\/joshuaproject.net\/people_groups\/12286\/ET"},{"key":"people_group_5","label":"People Group 5","value":""},{"key":"people_group_link_5","label":"People Group Link 5","value":""},{"key":"people_group_6","label":"People Group 6","value":""},{"key":"people_group_link_6","label":"People Group Link 6","value":""},{"key":"people_group_7","label":"People Group 7","value":""},{"key":"people_group_link_7","label":"People Group Link 7","value":""},{"key":"people_group_8","label":"People Group 8","value":""},{"key":"people_group_link_8","label":"People Group Link 8","value":""},{"key":"prayer_emphasis","label":"Prayer Emphasis","value":"
