About My Family
In what can only be described as providential, the Lord brought me to the United States from my native land of Ethiopia during my late teenage years, where I completed high school. Northern Virginia has been my home away from home, where I have spent more than half of my life living and working in nearly every city within it.
After God delivered me from my sin and granted me not only a new lease on life but also a new perspective in college, I met my lovely wife, Sameta. It is here where we are raising our three children—Michael, Trinity and Gabriella.
My family and I serve the Ethiopian Church in America when the call and need to plant a church that embraces the gospel legacy and embodies a love for our neighbors came. We are committed and hopeful to fulfill this mission in our city, but God’s grace.

About My Church Plant
The Washington, D.C., metropolitan area boasts the largest Ethiopian/Eritrean population outside Africa, estimated to exceed 500,000. It is a melting pot of many other nations. Families immigrating to this area struggle to pass on their gospel legacy to their children—whether born or raised here—due to language and cultural barriers that widen the natural generational gap. Furthermore, immigrant churches established in the area find it challenging to effectively engage their neighbors with the gospel because of cultural and linguistic restrictions.
Our church strives to PRESERVE the legacy of the gospel and PURSUE our community with its message. By faithfully preaching the gospel and calling the lost to repentance and faith in Jesus, we endeavor to become a church family committed to one another and to the Great Commission.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
