The churches are planted primarily in regions where there are few or no evangelical churches: among Muslims, pagans and Orthodox Christians,” said Taras Sen, director of the Ministry. 

According to Erubal Mulatu, pastor of Christ is the Answer Church in Addis Ababa, the new church in Oromia consists mainly of Muslims and has more than 10 members. The main areas of ministry, besides worship, are pastoral care and evangelism.
