Fekadu Tolu has been desperate to find answers. Growing up in Ethiopia, his parents took him to witch doctors and he worshiped ancestors as part of the traditional religions. But, he says, "I don't have a settled mind. I hear voices inside of me and I am guided by these voices as to where I should go and what I should be doing."

Then he heard about AE's evangelistic mission to Akaki-Kaliti, a suburb of Addis Ababa, the country's capital, when he was looking for a house to rent. "A woman invited me to come and see," he says. "I came in and heard the word of God. When the altar call was made, I willfully stood up from my seat to accept Jesus."

Looking back on the past, Fekadu says, "I have lived a miserable life. I even felt there was no purpose for living. But now I think I have made a right decision. I have made a new beginning in life and I want to follow this path."

Fekadu will be welcomed into a local church in Akaki-Kaliti, where he will connect with other believers and grow closer to Christ through the rest of his life. Only through your partnership is AE able to reach out to lost people like Fekadu. Thank you for your support!
