Profile
Ethiopia is a land that has been devastated by famine, war and 17 years of repressive Marxist rule. Despite the end of Communism in 1991, regional and ethnic tensions continue to rend the fabric of this nation. However, amidst these difficult times, the number of evangelicals has doubled in the last ten years and the church in Ethiopia continues to experience a sovereign move of God. PAOC missionary efforts have focused on strengthening the existing Pentecostal churches through the establishment of nine Bible training centers. Furthermore, during the famine years, thousands of tons of food and clothing were shipped to destitute families by ERDO, our Emergency Relief and Development Overseas program.
