![]() In March, the team found and moved into the house we are still in today, a pink (inside and out), three-story house, in the outskirts of Addis Ababa. When they moved, they started out without any furniture, except for four mattresses and a small table and chairs that the landlady let them borrow. The girls took turns sharing a mattress that was filled with bed bugs, while Anders slept on a sofa. The three girls moved to Addis Ababa at the beginning of 2016 and lived at a guesthouse for a little while, before moving to a condominium. He went back to the US for a few weeks to get that sorted, and then he joined the girls in Addis Ababa six weeks later. He ended up breaking his collarbone playing soccer, while he was still in Perth. At the end of 2015, Amy, Tessa and Marion were preparing to leave for Ethiopia at the start of the New Year, and Anders…. It was clear that God didn’t want Ethiopia just to be a country that accepts and receives missionaries, but missionaries are meant to come from Ethiopia, and He wanted the YWAM team to be a part of that.Īs far as ministry, God spoke about two things: running Discipleship Training Schools and doing kids ministry. About the vision, God gave them a picture of a lighthouse, giving light to all the other nations, and also Ethiopia as a heart, pumping blood to the nations surrounding it. To Amy, God spoke to name the base “Ethiopia- Life Overflowing,” or ELO for short. As the team interceded and got ready to move to Ethiopia, God began to speak about their new home and ministry. There were three girls and one guy: Amy, from Australia, Tessa from New Zealand, Marion from France, and Anders, from the United States. ![]() In October of 2015, Amy shared with one of YWAM Perth’s secondary schools: the School of Frontier Missions.įrom that, God created a team of four YWAM-ers from YWAM Perth to move to Addis Ababa. ![]() God suddenly spoke to her, the words “A long-term YWAM base in Addis Ababa.” Amy began sharing the vision God had given her about pioneering to Ethiopia with different DTSes at YWAM Perth. It all started when Amy, our base founder and previous base leader, was attending a morning worship service during her Discipleship Training School in Perth, Australia. To kick off our website and blog, we wanted to give you a little bit of an introduction to YWAM ELO: what God has spoken over our base over the past few years and how our base came to be.
