General Superintendent David W. Graves ordained three pastors at the Ethiopia Central District Assembly. The special service took place on October 20, 2009, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The ordination of these pastors is significant as they will be working in sensitive areas in the Horn of Africa Field.

Field Strategy Coordinator Ermias Choliye commented, “This is a great day for our field. Each one of these men has gone through suffering and persecution for his beliefs. Each one gives God all the glory for bringing him through it. They are all so happy that the church has recognized their calling and preparation for ministry.”

Dr. Graves is the jurisdictional general superintendent for the Africa Region.
