Family Information Francis is married to Edaru Hellus and they have 3 children; Fortunate, Daniel, and Patience. Francis was the first born to his mother. His father had 3 wives but his mother was the last to marry the father. They had 3 children together with Francis being the only boy. His mother later divorced his father.

Francis has joined the Breaking Ground Missions Training Program because God has called him into ministry.  He feels God wants him to preach and serve Him in that capacity.

Francis had many struggles growing up with a difficult homelife.  His father had many wives and when Francis was in 5th grade, his father passed away.  He struggled to pay his school fees each term because his father was no longer there to provide for him.  Finally, in 10th grade, he gave up and left school.  He listened to poor advice from others and began making bad decisions for his life.  After hearing the gospel, he gave his life to Christ.  Now he says his life is full of praise, thanksgiving, and trust to God.  He happily serves a God who cares for him.

 

Sponsoring a pastor in our Pastor Training Program allows the Pastor to attend training at no cost to him!  All meals (3 meals a day), lodging, basic toiletries, training supplies and materials, teacher costs, graduation gowns, certificates, and Bible, and basic medical needs should they arise are all included.  During the week each month that the pastors are at the Training Center, they are fully taken care of.
