      <image:title>About - How It Began</image:title>
      <image:caption>Originally a team of four from Australia, New Zealand, France, and America, we arrived in Addis Ababa on February 1st, 2016 with little understanding, no language and minimal experience, and saw God begin to open doors. Our founder, Amy Tefera (on the far right), who received our original vision for Ethiopia from the Lord, now lives in Australia with her husband and three children.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Where We Are Now</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have run Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) most years since we began, and have hosted many international teams who have come to complete their DTS outreaches here in Addis, or other cities and rural areas of Ethiopia. We are focused on evangelism through mercy ministry and children ministry. At the moment we are in a pioneering season, recruiting new staff, to become more international, and get more ministry going. We are a bilingual base, and most of our trainings and schools are run in English and Amharic. Our YWAM base is also a part of the University of the Nations. Please follow this link to get more information about UofN.</image:caption>
