Join us for an evening celebrating what God is doing through indigenous church planters in some of the world’s least-reached communities.
Come hear firsthand stories from the field, see the impact of indigenous-led church planting, and catch a vision for what God is doing through His Church around the world. We’re glad you’re joining us.
RSVP by Monday, September 28
Because seating is limited, reservations are required.
No cost to attend. An opportunity to partner financially will be extended.
Guest Speaker:
Rev. Endashaw Kelkele
Rev. Endashaw knows the cost of following Jesus. His faith led to prison, persecution, and exile from Ethiopia to Kenya. During those hard years, he formed a friendship with Dr. Ray and Linda Noah. Out of that friendship grew the shared vision that became Petros Network.
Years later, Endashaw returned to Borana, the homeland he’d been forced to flee, and began equipping indigenous leaders to plant multiplying churches where the Gospel had rarely been heard. Today, Borana is no longer among the world’s least-reached regions.
Join us as Endashaw shares his journey from persecution to purpose, and how God works through ordinary men and women who follow Jesus wherever He leads.

At Petros Network, we believe every person should have access to the Gospel. And yet, 3.6 billion people, or 42% of the world’s population, do not. That’s why we equip indigenous leaders to share, show, and spread the hope of Jesus in communities facing spiritual and physical poverty. The result is Redemptive Lift®.
