I have great confidence in this man, and I know he will be a blessing to your church. My name is Berhanu Yoseph, and I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 1958. My father had moved from Southern Ethiopia to Addis Ababa before I was born. He had become a believer through the testimony of his uncle. His uncle was the first person to become a believer in the Hadiya region of Ethiopia.
Today there are hundreds of thousands of believers in that area.
After my father moved to Addis, he attended various churches but did not get seriously involved until he started attending a small Baptist Church near his home. Richard Vick, a missionary with the Baptist Bible Fellowship International, started this church. As a small boy, I attended this church because my parents were attending. I did not give any serious thought to spiritual things until my father came home from work and told us something that someone had said to him. BBFI missionary, Eugene Worley had served in our country for a few years and was leaving.
