Upon an initial look, the countries of Ethiopia and Germany seem very different. However, they have had a longstanding connection for centuries. The German Christian reformation led to an interest in Ethiopia, specifically in its language and Orthodox Christian traditions. Today, approximately 22,500 Ethiopians from the Amhara people group live in Germany. Many moved to Germany to take advantage of better job opportunities and education. Although the language poses a challenge, many are establishing a new home with a mixture of both cultures. Those coming from an Orthodox Christian background sometimes hold to the faith of their community and rely on following traditions, over biblical truth, to demonstrate their faith. Pray for the Ethiopian Amhara people of Germany to see beyond the traditions and discover a relationship with God that comes from an understanding of Scripture. Ask the Spirit to grow their love and affection for Jesus, allowing Him to be the Savior and Lord of their lives. Pray that many Amhara will follow Christ and share the gospel with others. Pray that they will find a Christ-centered community of believers among the churches in Germany where they can connect and grow.
