Healing Rain Ministry

Pastor Tadele, originally from Ethiopia, served as Director of the Children Sponsorship Department in Addis Ababa, where he met his wife, Gennet. Together, they have two sons, Ephraim and Joseph.

After immigrating to the United States, DHPC supported Tadele through Fuller Seminary and helped him establish El-Bethel Evangelical Missionary Church, an Ethiopian congregation in Phoenix.

Tadele travels regularly to Ethiopia to train pastors, plant churches, and share the gospel. Through his ministry, thousands in Ethiopia have come to faith in Jesus Christ.

Additionally, he was inspired to start Healing Rain Ministry, serving children in need in Ethiopia.

Come hear how God is at work through Pastor Tadele and see the fruit of DHPC’s support for him and his family.
