The Ethiopian Community in Hungary has officially set up its own church in order to worship God in their Amharic language

Coming together at the new African Center in Wesselényi Street 51, the service came as a real treat. The fold was seeing jumping, dancing, shaking, singing, praying, meditating as the spirit of togetherness radiates happiness. 

The church which was founded three years ago by three people is expected to bring together about fifty Ethiopians said to be living in Hungary.

Although there were only twenty in the congregation, the founders seem to have undivided faith that the faithful will continue to grow, and in the process reach out to unbelievers. 

But Mr. Ashenafi Yohannes, the supervisor who came all the way from Austria, said the church "is not limited to Ethiopians alone", adding that anyone can come for service.

It appears there may be problem of where to worship as the church only rented the place for one day. Meanwhile, one of the three founders, Dr. Tadesse Eyassu explained that he has made all the arrangements. 

 Eyassu who is also the President of Hungarian-Ethiopian Community founded in 2003, added that he was hopeful that everything shall come to pass.
