Joshua 1:11
“…. to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it.”
We organize nationwide evangelical campaigns, sharing the Gospel and partnering with local churches to bring hope, healing, and faith to communities across the country.
Our team works to plant new churches in unreached areas, building strong faith communities and training leaders to continue spreading the message of Jesus.
Through our bible school, we equip believers with a solid foundation in God’s word, empowering them to grow spiritually and serve their communities.
We prioritize places where the needs are the greatest, to where we then send them.
Dedicated Team
have been responsible for Joshua Campaign Ethiopia since 2007, and are also responsible for the office in Sweden.
After a fourteen-year commitment to church planting in former Soviet Union, they came to Ethiopia in 2005 and were even then involved in church planting.
As a newly married couple they started to serve in a Faith Movement Church in Borås, Sweden and were simultaneously involved in the mission to the former Soviet Union. As Church-building pioneers, they first came to Siberia, where they worked all over the continent and then in Baku, Azerbaijan. Then they have served God in many countries and in many places, mostly in former communist countries. They can look back at very good fruit of their work over the years.
After the first two years in Ethiopia, they came in contact with Joshua Campaign and added their own vision “Reach the unreached” and “Help the helpless”.
Per comes from Borås, Sweden and has a background as a motorcyclist, but met God in the faith movement in the mid 80’s.
Abbi was born in Ethiopia and came to Sweden in the early 80’s when she was fifteen years old, leaving behind a life of poverty, misery and hard work. She was adopted by a Swedish family and there she experienced God’s love and care. It led to a strong encounter with God, where she experienced how the Lord healed and made her totally free from hate and bitterness, as a result of her childhood. Instead, the Lord put in her heart a love and longing to share the Gospel and help the poor women and children in her former native country.
Started Joshua Campaign in Ethiopia in 1997.
Karl is from Storuman, Sweden and has his roots in the Pentecostal Church. He left Sweden in the late 80’s and began a mission in Tanzania. A vision and a mission to reach the unreached with Gospel led Karl to the United States and California to earn a helicopter license. There he met Jennifer and together they moved to Ethiopia in the early 90’s. Karl was a helicopter pilot for the Swiss organization Helimission, aiming at taking the Gospel to completely remote places unable to be reached by land. In 1997, the vision led Karl to launch Joshua Campaign in Ethiopia.
Joshua Campaign Ethiopia
- ✔
Under the leadership of Pastor Belay, we seek and identify people who have a call, are assigned, and have a vision to plant churches. - ✔
We teach them in the Word of God and train them to preach in church buildings. We prioritize areas where the need is greatest and send them there. - ✔
We provide regular updates. Each church planting project is evaluated after two years. - ✔
Depending on the situation, there are two possible outcomes:
- The pioneer era ends and the pastor transitions to regular church life, sustained by local tithing.
- A new pioneer pastor is deployed to a fresh location, and a local pastor is installed to lead the church.
“Attending the Joshua Campaign was a powerful moment in my life. The message was clear, full of love, and I felt God speak directly to me. I left knowing I had a new beginning.”
“I never imagined one night could change everything. The gospel was shared in such a simple and real way. I gave my life to Jesus, and now I have peace I never had before.”
