Eritrean refugees were among 50 preachers blessed with a translated copy of Chris Wright’s award-winning book ‘Sweeter than Honey’ at a seminar in northern Ethiopia in May.
The movement coordinator there – who cannot be named for security reasons – said the participants were so happy to each receive two copies, one in English, one in Amharic.
The Amharic translation was funded with-in Ethiopia. The coordinator added: ‘Please, extend our gratitude and thanks to the donors who sponsored the publishing of these books.’
Many Eritreans who escaped terrible per-secution in their country are now being discipled and trained. Some are even plant-ing churches in their refugee camps. The coordinator in Eritrea said a number of years ago that he felt sure ‘God will bring down this brutal regime in Eritrea’.
He continued at the event: ‘I believe these refugees will return to Eritrea, so it’s a great opportunity to equip the future leaders of the Eritrean church. That’s the exciting thing!’
