Serve in Ethiopia with Young Life Expeditions

​Ethiopia.gifYoung Life has a rich history in Ethiopia dating back to 1999 when Chuck and Linda Reinhold, Young Life veterans from the United States, moved into the neighborhood of Addis Ababa. Chuck began telling kids about the love of Jesus and teaching them leadership skills. Chuck also worked with the surrounding communities to identify, disciple and train Young Life leaders to work in this difficult neighborhood. From this beginning, it was demonstrated that the basic principles of Young Life work very well in an African culture and Young Life quickly took root in several neighborhoods and high schools in and around Addis Ababa. Young Life Expeditions has been sending Teams to Ethiopia since 2006. ​
