Their faith began in the glow of a small mission school in Ethiopia—but it was proven in the fire of persecution.
After marriage, they faced more than hardship—they faced open hostility. The communist government branded believers as enemies of the state. Soldiers raided their home, confiscated their Bibles, and threw her into prison—her infant brought to her only to nurse before being taken away again. While she endured confinement, he preached in secret, turning teacups and quiet corners into pulpits of truth.
When false doctrine rose to divide the Apostolic movement, he stood firm. Labeled a rebel, hunted by those who once called him brother, he was spared only by the unseen hand of God. But in the fire of betrayal and fear, revival was already forming.
Missionaries arrived from America—men who came not to debate, but to serve. They washed the feet of Ethiopian believers, prayed in the rain, and watched God pour out His Spirit in villages once bound by fear.
Today, their testimony has become the foundation of over 150 thriving churches across Ethiopia. The same truth that cost them everything has now covered a nation in grace.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
