We will hear from Kelbessa Muleta Demena from Meserete Kristos Church (MKC) in Ethiopia. He is stopping in Winnipeg on his way to the Mennonite Church Gathering in Ontario where he will speak on Thursday evening. MKC is the largest Anabaptist church body in the world, known for its dynamic growth, deep faith, and commitment to training the next generation of servant leaders through its Seminary. In 1982 the government closed all MKC congregations and the church went into hiding for the next 9 years. During that time and after, the church has grown tremendously. Kelbessa Muleta Demena  is the Vice President of Meserete Kristos Church (MKC) and member of the Mennonite World Conference Mission Commission.
