ECIM History
It was in 1999 that I started to enter to different Ethiopian secular chat rooms such as ethio.com, EthioLove.com and Eritrean chat room asmarino.com etc.. Using nick names as “Pentew”, “Christian man”, “Man of God” etc. to witness about the Lord Jesus.
While I continued doing that, some people used to contact me in private and ask me about my Christian life and similar issues. They also told me that they were believers themselves while they were in Kenya, Sudan, Cairo etc. and now coming to the west they are not able to live for Jesus as before and were wondering how I was able to witness in such chat rooms where offensive languages are very common against Christians who will share their faith in public. My answer at that time and now is the same ” It is not me but God enabled me”.
While we were praying together with some brothers and sisters at our MSN, the Lord has clearly spoken to me to start this Internet ministry by confirming through his word on Zechariah 6:15. Once we become aware of the existence of the pal talk service and it’s voice chat facility, we just signed on and started this room. Glory to God we are growing every day. My message for you who are a born again Christian is that, the harvest is plenty and the workers are few, come lets work the good things we are called to do. “For this purpose the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the devil”, I John 3:9, we are the instruments Jesus called to destroy the devil’s work. Are you ready to be used? If you are I encourage you, come and join us in the good fight.

Our Belief
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to mankind, the infallible rule of faith and conduct, and is superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Timothy 3:15-16; 1 Peter 2:2). The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent, self-revealed “I AM” and has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association, i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10, 11; Matthew 28:19). That man was created good and upright, for God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” But man, by voluntary transgression, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the Son of God (Genesis 1:26-31: 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21). The grace of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men, through the preaching of repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ; man is saved by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and, being justified by grace through faith, he becomes an heir of God according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 2:11; Romans 10:13-15; Luke 23:47; Titus 3:5-7). The “inward” evidence to the believer of his salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:16). The “outward” evidence of his salvation to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness. The ordinance of baptism by a burial with Christ should be observed as commanded in the Scriptures, by all who have repented and in their hearts have truly believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. In so doing, they have the body washed in pure water as an outward symbol of cleansing, while their heart has already been sprinkled with the blood of Christ as an inner cleansing. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Jesus and that they have also been raised with Him to walk in newness of life (Matthew 28:19; Acts 10:47-48; Romans 6:4; Acts 20:21; Hebrews 10:22). The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements, bre ad and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26). It is enjoined on all believers “until He comes.”. That all believers are entitled to, and should ardently expect, and earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy
