I would like to introduce to you a man of faith and prayer whose unique ministry is threatening the kingdom of darkness in our land. I like to draw your attention to people who are wrestling with God behind the scenes for the fulfillment of His promise in our beloved Ethiopia. In doing so, we may be inspired to stand in the gap for a breakthrough in our land towards the victory promised in His Word (Psalm 68:31).

His name is Elsaei Turra and he resides in Holland. Responding to His call, Elsaei went back twice during the year 2007 to hold prayer meetings with all churches around Ethiopia . Here are some of his stops: Awassa, Shashemene, Shone, Boditi, Wolayita, Woka, Tercha, Moyale, Hagere Mariyam, and Holeta, Boditi, Shone, Jimma, Agaro Bedele, Metu, Assossa, Nekemit, Gamblea, Shasha, Bahir Dare, Gonder, Humera, Badime Shiraro, Shire, Axum, Adwa, Adigrat, Zalambesa, Mekelle, Desse, Shimelba, Harar, Jijiga, Alemaya, Afar Awash Arba, Gewane Endefawa, Gdamayitu, Adayitu, Mile, Logiya, Semera, Dalol hamed, Ela, Asale, Berehale, Shmigugi, Halasayita, Sardo, Elidar, Dashiyato, Galafi, Afdera, Kusuruwad, Dadi Ame, Ertale, Edelale, Robe, Goba, and Shemelba.

It is time to catch His vision for Ethiopia and stretch our hands to God. We can do it wherever we are. We can stand in the gap in prayer to cry for our land. Prayer is our way out of our misery. Pray without ceasing, don’t give rest to the Almighty until He rises and make His glory be known in our land.
