In all our years of ministry, we've done baptisms in rivers, lakes, oceans, and containers filled with water, but never in a water trough. Until now.

This was a first! There was no river nearby and the lake was too far, so we made do with what God provided. Having baptisms in the water trough. Before the baptisms could happen, animal waste had to be scrubbed away from around the trough, a beautiful reminder of the setting. It's fed by a nearby hot spring, so the water was warm (a rare blessing, it's usually cold!).

After the preparation, in the end, 13 people in Abel Abaya dedicated their lives to Christ this April!

Thank you for your continued support. You are helping change lives and entire communities. ❤️

A New Partnership is Growing in Ethiopia!

This week, Mark had the incredible privilege of encouraging 80 church planters serving across the Oromia region, all within 100 km of the capital, Addis Ababa.

He shared openly about the reality that missionary work is hard, but that God always breaks through our difficulties. Mark was also able to introduce them to the Training for Trainers method, and they were so encouraged that they invited him back to go through the entire training with them!

This is exactly the kind of door God opens when we show up faithful. We are so excited about what He is going to do through this growing group of church planters!

None of this happens without you. Thank you for being part of Impact Ethiopia and helping us reach more lives for Christ!

Here's where we need your help right now:

🙏 Prayer — We're seeking God's provision for housing in Tulsa, Oklahoma this fall as we return to the US for furlough (Sept-December). If you know of any leads, please reach out!

🤝 Connections — Do you know a church, Christian business, or individual who might want to hear about what God is doing through Impact Ethiopia? We'd love an introduction!

💛 Financial Partnership — We're looking to add 62 new monthly partners at $100/month to grow our impact. Would you consider joining us — or do you know someone who might?

📣 Spread the Word — Share this post and help us connect with new friends and partners!
What part can YOU play in impacting Ethiopia for Christ?

Wooden crosses, colorful markers, and the truth that we are all beautifully made and united in Christ was a powerful combination, that Ruth and John shared as they visited from VineLife Christian Church last week.

Every adult decorated their cross in a way that was entirely their own, and walked away with a piece of art to hang on the walls of their home. A daily reminder that God created each of us with intention, with beauty, and with purpose. That we are different, and that difference is something to celebrate.

For many, this was a rare and precious moment, time set aside simply to create.
The results were stunning. The joy in the room was even more so.

Thank you, Ruth and John, for carrying this gift all the way to Ethiopia. We are so grateful for VineLife’s partnership!

Last week we delivered 9 chickens and 5 goats to our church plant in Abel Abaya — and we're honestly excited to see where this goes.

After the delivery, Krista did a training so the community could understand exactly how they could use the animals for better health and sustainability. The chickens will reproduce and create a good source of protein from eggs, and when they stop laying, the community can use them for meat. The goats can do the same.

But then Krista introduced an idea that could really transform things if it catches on — drinking the goat's milk. Their eyes opened wide when she said it. Even the translator was confused. They simply don't drink goat's milk here. But if families start giving it to their children, it could make a real difference in their development and help prevent some of the malnutrition happening in the village.

This is still a new idea, and we're watching to see how it unfolds. But we really believe it could be something.
A huge thank you to everyone who gave special Christmas donations to make this possible. We'll keep you updated as we hear more!

Laughing, eating, singing, sharing, connecting, and digging in with each other and the Lord with this fabulous group of women was so encouraging! Krista helped lead a women’s conference in Addis Ababa. They had a total of 24 women from 8 different countries praising the Lord together! It was truly amazing!! The most amazing news is that 2 ladies recommitted their lives to Christ during the Hope retreat! Praise the Lord!!! Thank you for being a part changing lives here in Ethiopia and beyond!

H A P P Y E A S T E R!! He Is Risen!

The tomb is empty. Hope is alive.

From our family to yours! May this Easter fill your heart with the unshakeable truth that Jesus Christ is the true and living Hope for every one of us, no matter what is happening around us and in this world. He is our anchor, our strength, our peace, and our future.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”
— John 11:25

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
— Hebrews 6:19

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me."
— Psalm 28:7

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
— Philippians 4:7

He is our Anchor • Our Strength • Our Peace • Our Hope • Now & For Eternity
Let us fix our eyes on Him, choose Him, trust Him, and rest in Him.

He is enough. He always has been.

With Love & Blessings

From Our Family to Yours

Happy Easter

Women were grown, encouraged, and empowered during last week’s women’s conference. Nearly 100 women gathered for this two-day event, packed into a small area to hear God’s word and apply it to their lives. As always, they enjoyed their time together as Krista and Mushida led the sessions. It was truly a blessed time! This event could not have happened without your support, financially and through prayer! Please continue to support Impact Ethiopia Ministries so we can continue to impact lives and communities here in Ethiopia.

Conflict resolution. Trust building. Real growth. Some of our top Ethiopian leaders gathered for a powerful, hands-on training led by Mark and Krista, then walked away stronger, closer, and better equipped to communicate with clarity and love. We laughed, practiced, and grew together. Whether at work or at home, we all need these skills. Grateful for every partner walking this journey with us. This is what sustainable impact looks like. Thank you for making it possible. 🇪🇹❤️

Incredible news from the north of Ethiopia! We are thrilled to share that 5 people have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through Kalala, one of our church plants that is less than two years old. What an amazing testament to what God can do in such a short time. Watching these new believers take their first steps of faith is truly amazing. And this is just the beginning, more exciting news is already coming in! Stay tuned to hear all that God is doing to transform lives and communities across Ethiopia. 🇪🇹

What a great day! As we clapped and sang along with the crowd we made our way down a steep hill to the river, and it was worth every step. Five people from Bale Goba had committed their lives to Christ, and Mark and our church planter Samuel had the privilege of baptizing each one of them. Pure joy!

The next day, we gathered with 35 church leaders for a full day of training, and we were able to spend some personal time encouraging Samuel in his calling. We left with full hearts, inspired by the faithfulness we witnessed and the fruit of this work taking root in Ethiopia.

None of this happens without you. Your prayers and financial support are literally saving lives and transforming communities. Thank you.
