    Millions in Millennium The visionary Filwoha SDA youthProject

    Our country in two months time is going to celebrate its new

    millennium

    where we look

    back thousands

    of years

    spiritually,

    economicallyand ask what is

    next. Very huge

    preparations are

    going on to host

    hundreds of

    thousands of

    Ethiopian

    Diaspora, tourists

    and honoredguests to

    celebrate what

    the African

    Union recently endorsed to be The African Millennium. Concerning this

    millennium you may find good deal of info at

    http://www.ethiopianmillennium.com .

    For the Lords grace brought us to this magnificent event and only the

    same can make it a real blessing to the country, the Filwoha Adventist Youth

    came up with a vision ofMillions in Millennium that includes among

    many approaches holding a 15 days crusade at the Exhibition centerprobably the best facility of its type in the Capital. Yetnbitkal would like to

    thank God for giving such a vision to his Children and encourage all for

    joining hands in this vision. The project document of this vision is already

    available at our site at devotionals column. And if you send the contact

    I will bless those who bless you

    I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;

    Genesis 12:3. This is a Bible verse where our father Abraham is blessed by

    the Lord God. And some time ago I remember a young preacher Assabu

    Hankamo told the Congregation while encouraging to bless the Choirs after

    their service The Bible says I will bless those who bless you and I will

    curse those who curse you yes the Bible doesnt say anything more on this

    but I personally believe something may possible follow here I will bless

    I will curse and those who keep quite about you I shall keep quite about

    them too. A bit funny and still a bit meaningful. At this point we are

    definitely not working to boost appreciation for our ministry or newsletter.

    We believe and even know all of you thank our heavenly father for His

    blessings, pray for the work at home and smile as you find our materials at

    your email account. But some of you have been so moved that they replied

    to our ministry with blessing, encouragement and even contributions. So

    many did this for our earlier issues and unfortunately we couldnt make an

    extensive list of all throughout. But to our last March-April issue the

    following fellows responded with something inspiring and encouraging to

    Yetnbitkal: Pr. Alemu Haile- President EUM- Addis Ababa, Pr. GirmaDamte- blessed minister of Ethiopian fellowships at US California USA, Dr.

    Birku Melesse San jose California, Br. Temesgen Bulti EUM Addis

    Ababa, Sr. Tizita W/Gabriel- Frank Fort Kentucky USA, and blessed

    fellows Dr. Wubshet Lakew - Gondar, and Br. Jeremy Bechmann-California

    USA. May the Lord pour His abundant blessings on these fellows even as

    He promised to Abraham. Two points here:

    - Br. Temesgen as he promised us in the last issue shared the full reportofThe Share Him and you have it at our devotionals column.

    - Br. Jeremy Bechmann is running a really blessed site of EthiopianAdventists and you are kindly invited to visit plus contribute to

    Evolution Creation Seminar conducted at Jimma University

    June 25, 2007 a seminar was conducted at Jimma University entitled

    Evolution Creation Controversy- the Creationists stand. The Seminar was

    attended by the University staff, students and guests. A hot discussion

    session followed the presentation and in short it was a time of precious

    exposure to Creationism and academic debate. The presenter has displayed

    some materials at our home page and you may find it at the devotionals

    column.

    Pentecost Multiplied44775 souls got baptized in a day(Adventist World, May 2007)

    March 24, 2007 for the Inter American Division (IAD) was something

    historical like nothing else ever since its establishment in 1921. Inspired by

    the biblical Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, the territory wide event called

    Pentecost and more featured satellite feeds from all 15 Union conferences

    which were broadcast throughout the world and IAD including the hub of

    the program in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.The program begun with a demonstration of remarkable human diversity of

    the Inter-American Division: More than 100 people dressed in the Unique

    customes of the areas they represented, strode across the stage to the

    applause of their fellow believers.

    This is an extraordinary day, said Jan Paulsen, President of the Adventist

    World Church while addressing thousands and sharing the word on the

    event.

    More than 10,000 people crowded the stadium to witness the event, which

    was culmination of months of evangelistic campaigns in the IAD and tookthe coordinated efforts of hundreds of Pastors, Church staff, and lay

    members throughout the 15 main regions of the division.

    May all the glory be to God for this!!!!

    LEWERU

    My God is no stranger

    God is no strangerin a far way place-

    He is so close as the wind

    that blows across my face.

    It is true I cant see

    the wind as it blows,

    But I feel it around me

    and my heart surely knows

    That Gods might hand

    can be felt every minute

    For there is nothing on earth

    that God isnt in it-The sky and the stars,

    the waves and the sea,

    The dew on the grass,

    the leaves on a tree

    Are constant reminders

    of God and His nearness,Proclaiming His presence

    with crystal-like clearness

    So how could I think

    God was far, far away

    When I feel Him beside me

    every hour of the day,

    And I have plenty of reasons

    to know Gods my friend

    And this is one friendship

    that time can not end.

    Greater love has no one than this,

    that he lay down his life for his

    friends.

    and the Gimbi Seventh day Adventist Church where thousands of Adventistsand town residents celebrated special family event. According to Pr. Bekele

    Gebre, director of Family, Global mission and Ministerial departments at

    EUM the blessings were inexpressible. On the event at the city hall the

    Zonal president Ato Tekle Deressa, the City Mayor Ato Samuel Alemayehu

    and the Zonal HIV AIDS Secretariat coordinator Ato Tariku Tesema made

    speeches to the attendants where 96 couple in marriage for 25 years and

    above celebrated their marriage jubilees. The oldest couple was together in

    holy matrimony for the last 68 years and this created golden opportunity for

    three young couples to enjoy their wedding ceremony on this magnificent

    date. The T-shirts worn on the event all have the Church Logo and phrase

    Adventist Family Ministries in front and those of the married ones read at

    their back I care for my family while those of the youth read I choose to

    abstain in English and Oromiffa. The Union health department director

    br. Temesgen Bulti was at the event and shared precious message on health

    and especially on HIV/AIDS. The Gimbi Adventist Hospital on the event

    provided free voluntary counseling and Test for HIV where the Zonal

    president and all government officials took part providing very exemplary

    act for all around. Those couple who have been married for 50 years and

    above received their certificate from Pr. Bekele EUM officer and those inmarriage for 25-49 years from Pr. Tesfa Kenno West Ethiopian Field

    President. The event received media coverage by the Ethiopian Television

    and the Adventist World Radio- Ethiopian chapter is planning to air the

    recordings on the event on its family programs as series. An American

    minister Pr. Black also was at Wellega for a week of Prayer and he shared

    the precious word of God at this event. This heavenly celebrations are

    recorded in both Photos and video and contacts could be made with br.

    Bikila Merga, our Union Communication director and active partner of the

    event, for accessing these resources. The Central Ethiopian Field and South

    Ethiopian Fields are working to hold such events in their respective fields

    and it is believed that blessings at WEF would be encouraging to them as

    well.
