Description
We are followers of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church from all over the world. This e-group is administered by educational branch of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahdo Church, Diocese of North America.
Only 8 people started this fellowship in December 1998, and a year later (December 1999) this e-group was launched. Since then, it has been growing and as of April 01, 2009 membership has risen to 819.
Our mission is to fulfill our Savior’s commandment:"Go, then, to all the world and make disciples of all Nations: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey every thing that I have commanded you"(Matt 28.20), so that all people may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
It is also to encourage and edify one another with the words of God and call to those Christians who are living at a distance from God to turn their ways, reconcile with their father and live meaningful life here on earth and inherit eternal life in heaven(Luke 15:1-24).
As the Psalmist said one day "for zeal for your house consumes me,"(Psalm 69.9), our desire is to live with God and serve him according to the Doctrines and Canons of the Orthodox Tewahdo Church; and also to produce youth servants (Deacons, Priests, Sunday school teachers… etc) and prepare an apt environment for all professionals to serve their own church (2Tim 2:2). God’s willing these objectives will assure our apostolic church to be still a loving mother for the new generation.
Our motto is "The God of heaven will give us success. We, his servants will start rebuilding it [the house of God],"(Neh 2:20).
"To God be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3: 21).
May God richly bless us all!!!
