The world’s largest Lutheran church asks for help

The Mekane Yesus Church, the largest Evangelical Lutheran church of our time, already unites 15 million members in Ethiopia. The church has a special vision: to reach the youth of its country with the Gospel—before alternative ideologies do.

This is a historic call for GCMM that opens the possibility for a large-scale media campaign in 2026. The church leadership has recognized the growing challenge of Islam, whereby cooperation is already underway, and preparatory negotiations are currently taking place.

The most challenging city campaign ever

The upcoming campaign in Ethiopia will be the most challenging in GCMM’s 20-year history of Mega City Media Campaigns. About 3,000 churches from across the country have signed up. The goal is to reach four million people with the message of the Gospel.

The national campaign Director in Addis Ababa is Dr. Lemma Degefa, who teaches leadership in the Mekane Yesus Church. Lemma is a man with a great heart for the Great Commission. He also serves as a leadership trainer for the Central Intelligence Agency of Ethiopia.

This effort not only benefits Ethiopia, but the entire Christian heritage of Africa

If this campaign succeeds, it could have far-reaching outcomes for the entire continent. That is why we pray and build—and invite everyone who has a vision in their heart to spread the Gospel to join us.

What does carrying out this Mega City Media Campaign require?

• Intercessors who have a heart for Ethiopia and are committed to praying.

• Fellow-travellers who believe that this is God’s time for this nation.

• Financial support so that the necessary media materials, logistics, and training can be implemented.

Thank you very much for your support and prayers!
