Here for the first time is the story of how the Meserete Kristos Church began in Ethiopia and, using cell groups, grew rapidly during seventeen years under Marxism. Increasing 20 percent a year, MKC is more than a hundred thousand strong and has spread to every region of Ethiopia. This book witnesses to God at work among twentieth-century Anabaptists on two continents.

Nathan B. Hege was born in Hagerstown, Maryland, to parents who prayed that he would become a missionary. With his family, he served in Ethiopia from 1950-74, in teaching and church-planting assignments with Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM) and Meserete Kristos Church (MKC). After Hege trained in literacy journalism at Syracuse University in 1963, he returned to Ethiopia and worked at producing Christian education materials in the Amharic language. Since 1974, Hege's responsibilities have included editing Missionary Messenger, EMM's periodical, pastoring in his home congregation at Willow Street, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and giving oversight to the· seven churches of the Willow Street-Strasburg District of Lancaster Mennonite Conference. Now retired, Nathan Hege lives with his wife, Arlene, at Landisville, Pennsylvania. They are members of Willow Street Mennonite Church and the parents of four children, three still living, and grandparents of eight.
