The vision of seeing the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC) expanding its gospel ministry and influence outside Ethiopia was in the hearts and minds of the EKHC pioneer leaders for many years. This vision began to be seen in North America when EKHCLO was legally established in the United States in 2009.

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
