According to Mission Director Taras Sen, during the fourth crusade in Ethiopia in December 2022, 50 thousand newspapers were distributed in the city of Dila. Local missionaries say many seek spiritual counseling through newspapers, and some go to church and turn to God.

In Ethiopia, local residents receive the lion’s share of information from newspapers, because only 20% of the population has access to the Internet.
