Addis Ababa- Ethiopia: In a testament to the power of evangelization and community outreach, 47,116 souls have converted to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church over the past year, according to a report from Mahibere Kidusan, an association of the Church. The announcement was made during the organization’s annual general assembly held on August 30.

The report highlighted the efforts of the association’s Ministry and Apostolic Commission Department, which has been instrumental in achieving this significant milestone. In addition to the new converts, 5,493 individuals who had previously lapsed from the faith were welcomed back into the flock.

To support this influx of new members, the association in collaboration with different dioceses held 87 evangelical conferences aimed at spreading the Church’s teachings and engaging with the wider population. Furthermore, three new halls for evangelization were established, and seven new churches were planted to provide spaces for worship and continued community engagement.
