Name: Mekdes Atnaye | Nationality: Ethiopian | Birth Date: 9/28/1919
What is your family background?
My family is Orthodox. My mother died when I was 3 years old. After she died my sister and I were sent to an orphanage to be raised up until high school. In 2003, God gave me a good husband, Argaw, but then in 2005 there was a political situation in my country with many problems, suffer, and many people died. So my husband went to the refuge camp in Hungary and we were separated for two years but God had a plan for our lives. God brought Argaw to the Bible College. Before that neither of us had and any vision for ministry. God answered our prayer according to his Word He gave us unexpected life. Now I am at the Bible College with our teenage son and my husband. We are growing spiritually. God answered all our prayers. Oh, God is so faithful! Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know."

How did you come to know Christ?
I heard about Jesus so many times but during this time I gave him my heart and I got saved in 2005.

What is your future vision upon finishing the Bible College?
I am praying about our future ministry but in my heart is to be a servant of God in the orphanage and in convalescent homes. My husband has a heart for sports ministry-mentally and spiritually ministering to youths. We wish to be in God's will because God's will is perfect.

How has Bible College impacted you thus far in your walk with the Lord and in equipping you for the future?
