Project Ethiopia project leaders will be our guests for our worship service.
They are two brothers who are changing the world!
You are invited to attend in person, or you may view the worship service on our YouTube channel.
Within this worship service we shall discover the deep dedication of two of our members (Dennis Wilkins and Judy Sanderman) who followed their heart to serve the world and developed “Project Ethiopia” with the guidance, support, and efforts by local on-site gentlemen and teachers.
Together they co-created Project Ethiopia to partner with rural communities to creating hope and opportunity through education, healthy homes, and economic resilience.
Awoke Genetu, Project Leader
Awoke is a former history teacher who holds a university degree in history and currently owns and operates his own tour company in Addis Ababa. Awoke is the ‘can do’ man. Right from the start when Judy and Dennis felt overwhelmed at the logistics of digging a well, Awoke assured them that together they could implement whatever plans would help the community. He is the interface of Project Ethiopia with the government, regional officials, and the supporters.
Workineh Genetu, Project Leader
Workineh is an organic farmer and beekeeper who lives and farms in the Dangla area where both he and Awoke were raised. He was named Ethiopia’s Farmer of the Year from 2007 – 2010 for his progressive farming practices and named a Millenium Man in Ethiopia. Workineh is highly respected by all in the region including officials who recognize the high quality of the Project Ethiopia’s work and by the farmers with whom he has generously shared his agricultural expertise and advice. He has a natural ability to recognize each person’s gifts and to train and encourage work teams for project work. Workineh sees ‘the big picture’, and is a change agent who can help people to be confident and independent as they embrace improvement in their lives.
