Makki, Ethiopia

Ministry Opportunities:

Current projects at Makki address health, non-formal education, and food security. All these projects may benefit from assistance from people who are willing to help, such as with computers and technology, and construction and mechanics. In addition, there is the opportunity to join in Mursi church activities, including the "milktime" discussions with believing Mursi leaders. Because English is a key subject in all grades of education (due to a new government requirement that all teaching after grade 4 be in English), many people will soon want to practice their English with anyone willing to take the time. Discipleship, literacy, sports, and other opportunities should increase over the next few years as English is increasingly understood.
