Ethiopia: Evangelist Bringing Hundreds to Christ

Over a 3 year period 21-year-old evangelist ''Ghebre'' (not his real name) has led over 600 people to Christ in an area where there are hundreds of Mosques. Many of these new Christians are from Muslim backgrounds; he baptized 65 of them. ''Ghebre'' goes from house to house telling people about Jesus and has met with much opposition. On one occasion around 500 angry Muslims showed up at his house to kill him after Muslim leaders issued a death sentence on him.
