Evangelism & Church Planting
Spreading the Gospel. Building the Church. Transforming Lives.
​
At HOCEM, Evangelism and Church Planting is more than a department—it's the heartbeat of our mission. We believe that true transformation begins with the message of Jesus Christ and grows through the life-giving power of the local church.
Our Vision
To see communities across Ethiopia—and beyond—transformed through the Good News of Jesus Christ and vibrant, thriving churches that serve as beacons of hope, truth, and healing
Our Mission in Action
Through dedicated evangelists, church planters, and community leaders, HOCEM is:
-
Preaching the Gospel in unreached and underserved regions
-
Training local believers to become evangelists, disciple-makers, and church leaders
-
Establishing new church fellowships where none exist
-
Supporting rural pastors with spiritual mentorship and practical resources
-
Hosting Gospel outreach events, youth revivals, and discipleship conferences
Whether through one-on-one evangelism, open-air crusades, or door-to-door ministry, we are committed to reaching the lost and making disciples who make disciples.
How We Plant Churches
We follow a Spirit-led, community-based model that includes:
-
Assessment & Prayer Walks: Discerning spiritual and physical needs of a region.
-
Evangelistic Outreach: Sharing the Gospel in culturally relevant and relational ways.
-
Discipleship Groups: Forming Bible study fellowships that grow into churches.
-
Leadership Development: Raising up local leaders for sustainability.
-
Ongoing Support: Offering follow-up training, accountability, and pastoral care.
