Children Waiting For Adoption

The Danish Evangelist Peter Capili Hansen and his wife have recently been in Ethiopia. They went around to different churches and conferences in Addis Adaba, Nazareth and Shashemene for 35 days having powerful evangelistic healing services. Hundreds of people gave their lives to Christ and many experienced a healing miracle as well. Alongside the evangelistic meetings, the Danish evangelist, with Angel Relief International, also went to an orphanage and gave out food, school supplies, and toothbrushes to kids.

Bring Back the Full Gospel!

The gospel of Jesus Christ was preached and many were amazed to hear the gospel being preached so clearly. Many church leaders and pastors expressed appreciation for the focus on Jesus and the gospel in the meetings and some said they have not heard the gospel being so much in the center for a long time. Evangelist Peter says “If I don’t preach the full gospel about Jesus, I am not preaching at all and I am called to preach the full gospel. The gospel makes people free. That is the most important thing, nothing else.” Many young pastors were inspired by the gospel preaching and now they want to focus on that in their own ministries.

Orphanage in Nazareth!

Angel Relief had toothbrushes, juice, cookies and pens to the children in a orphanage in Nazareth, Ethiopia. Peter Hansen gave all the children bible stories and after the kids was given a tooth brush, pens, cookies and juice. This was a Christian orphanage directed by a local Ethiopian evangelist. They are helping the kids with education and other needs.

Village Outreach!

Angel Relief International went to southern Ethiopia in the area of Shashemene to speak in a missionary church and do an evangelistic and humanitarian outreach in one of the poorest villages in this area. In the village of Hagugeta Kudnhi, people live in small, round mud houses and food is very limited. In fact, children have died just recently in this village due to malnutrition. A Filipino missionary, Rev. Jon Coronel, invited Peter & Abby to this place and coordinated the outreach in the village. The group used an off-roader truck to go to the village as there is no real road to the village. Evangelist Peter Hansen preached the gospel to the whole village that was gathered, sitting on the grass under the burning sun. There were about 2500 village people, many of whom were Muslims sitting in the grass. But Evangelist Peter preached a very radical gospel message about salvation!

After the gospel crusade Angel Relief gave out wheat to about 185 families and notebooks, cookies and pens for the kids. People were very orderly when receiving food, but when the kids were given notebooks, hundreds of people both adults and kids almost mobbed the team! Angel Relief was informed that this was the first time someone came to the village to give them something. Peter said, “The need is so big here in Ethiopia and we want to make a lasting impact by helping people, meeting their spiritual needs and physical needs. We want to support this kind of mission in the future as well. We want to go back to Africa!”.

Can you answer Andi’s question about Adoption?:

If you have how is the process, is it long? Overall expense? How is it in China, is it safe? My mom wants to adopt a child from China, since the cyclone, we wanted to save a child.
Even if the cyclone wasn’t in China we still want to adopt a child there.
