Ethiopia has just come through a brutal civil war which began in November 2020. Millions of people in the Tigray northern area have suffered unspeakable atrocities. The war is officially over but the affects linger and there are still terrible crimes that are ongoing.

Even though there are many Christians in Ethiopia, there are still millions who live in the least reached areas of Ethiopia who have yet to hear about Jesus. 360Serve supports church planters who go to these least reached areas especially among Muslims. Ethiopian church planters face much persecution and serve at great risk to their lives.
