I was born from an Ethiopian Orthodox Church background. I was the 1^st generation believer in my family. I was converted when I was 14 during the communist regime. God called me to his ministry and I gave my life for Christ when I was 19 years. I married to my dear wife Alemnesh Ayetenfisu Tesema. God has blessed us with very nice three Children who love the Lord and we have a grandson of two years. 

I am in the leadership team for the Ethiopian Christian Brethren church for the last 25 years. I was a graduate of Bachelor of Theology (BA ) from Evangelical Theological College of A. A and MA from Minnesota Graduate School of Theology on Discipleship and Pastoral leadership and a candidate for Dr. of  Ministry on Discipleship and Church planting.
