I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and grew up with my family who were ardent followers of orthodox Christianity. My father passed away at a young age and my older brother took up that role to take care of the family. When I turned 22 years of age, I received Christ as my Savior. At the time I was a nightclub singer and was involved in many drugs and drinking, which inevitably led to depression and suicidal thoughts. Christ intervened and set me free from being a captive to sin and the devil.

After receiving Christ, life became very difficult. I was chased out of the only home and family I knew because of my newfound faith in Jesus. I ended up on the streets. After some time, God prepared a godly Christian family with whom I stayed and continued my schooling.

These years were tough in every way as a new Christian but every day I got strength from Jesus to continue. In 2016, I found the love of my life, Pastor Josefine who was ministering to other street children in Addis Ababa. We got married and started to live together. In our house, we started to have church programs and baptism. God spoke to us having a calling in Sweden and after Pastor Josefine was pregnant, we moved to Sweden.

So far, I have travelled to Many different countries including Italy, Germany, Sweden, Uganda, South Africa, Kenya, United states of America, Switzerland and Ethiopia. In all these countries I have conducted street-evangelism and conferences by partnering with local preachers. God has added many people to his kingdom through these events. Every week the ministry conducts live prayers, prophecies, healings and deliverances.

In these programs, I share the word of God and pray for people as the Holy Spirit leads. My passion is to proclaim the supremacy of Christ for the glory of God and the etrnal joy of his people.

All together more than 13,000 people have been saved. “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” Romans 11:36.
