Visiting Addis Kidan Baptist Association
Our ministries at National office level and local Churches are different in some cases. At office level our ministry is mainly coordinating local Churches and facilitating the over all activities of the denomination from one office.
Communicating with different partners and looking sponsors for local Churches is also an additional engagement. Further more, we are expected to build the capacity of Churches and motivating ministries for the works of the Kingdom. Despite the job of the office / coordinating around 70 local Churches/ we have very few workers at National level. We are facing such a challenge because of financial constraints to recruit the right personalities for the work.
When we come to the local Churches, you can find different ministries like youth ministry, testimony programs for non believers, weekly prayer meetings, Sunday schools, music and worship team ministry. People like you can give also short term training for children, youth and women in the areas of social development, music, about small scale business and on the concept of promoting volunteerism in the churches.
The price of the guest rooms is 11 USD per person for our partners with 10% discount for those who stay more than a month in the guest house. Internet, break fast, dinner and telephone services are available.
