Yerah, Ethiopia
Gospel preached in a forgotten remote village
Yerah is a small mountain village in Ethiopia, 530 Km from Adisabbaba. It consists of 500 mud huts which houses 5 to 6 people in each. It has no electricity, running water, and medical facilities. Any person requiring medical assistance has to be carried by a home made stretcher to the bottom of the mountain. The children attend the only local school, which is also made out of mud. The children sit on wooden post and put their books on their laps to write. The school accommodates up to grade six only. Most of the children do not pursue education after grade six because they would have to walk, hike or go down the mountain. In the village only the children, teacher and the village priest read and write.




In 2001, God opened doors for MSM to help the Yerah community. We were able to send school supplies to establish a trust relationship through our contact, brother Alamo. He was willing to take time off from his job without pay for a period of time and to live with the village people to teach them Bible truth.
