World Missions ministries have been working with their Jewish neighbors in Ethiopia to better understand their needs. With a number of around 10,000, Jews of Ethiopia by themselves are a group of people that haven’t been reached yet. Recent conference brought together church leaders and leaders of Jewish community that found Christ. This was an event that include training on evangelization, but also served as an event to show unity among brothers of faith.
