Since 2011, a missionary, one of the founders of Frontline Hearts, was introduced into the work by an experienced ministering brother (his father), who had pioneered the work since 1997. Through yearly visits and ongoing support from Germany, Switzerland and North America, the local Christian workers were strengthened and helped to grow. The Lord blessed this united labor, and locals came to faith, with over twenty assemblies beginning to gather according to their understanding of Scripture. To this day, both, father and son, along with other brothers whom they introduced from North America, remain fully engaged in serving the local believers in Ethiopia through regular visits and through constant cooperation from abroad.
