Partner: Alemayehu 'Alex' Goshu
Alemayehu, or 'Alex' as he is affectionately known, is a close friend and partner of JL for several decades. While he grew up in an Orthodox home, he was later converted to Christ. He became an active pastor and leader in the Ethiopian Kale Heywet Church (EKHC). He worked closely with JL and NDI in evangelism and church planting projects across Ethiopia.
Alex also supervised the building of many churches funded by NDI partners. For years he has been JL’s “preaching mouth piece” in many Pastor’s Conferences, Leadership Seminars and church dedications. He has also pioneered a wonderful outreach to Orthodox priests, leading them in Bible studies that has led to the distribution of many Bibles to these church leaders. He continues to minister now with SIM International, parent ministry to the EKHC.
