In 2004 the village of Agemba was bulldozed down by the government due to a legal misunderstanding. The church there had built a building and was excited about serving the Lord in this new village, but when the village was bulldozed so was the church building and the believers were dispersed.
They have been meeting in rented space and struggling to pay the rent as it keeps being raised on them. The church applied for compensation for their land and building which was lost, and the Oromo government gave them twice as much land as they lost in compensation for the building.
The church has already been raising funds for a new building. Praise God for this good news and pray that He would provide for these dear ones that as they have sown in tears may they now reap in joy. v
