Union of Evangelical Oromo Churches in Europe (UOECE), a continental umbrella organization aimed at fostering unity among Oromo churches, fellowships and congregations scattered in Europe, has been established.

The establishment of UOECE was declared at the end of a four-day revival conference held in Frankfurt, Germany, May 13-16, 2010.

Oromo Evangelical Church of Portland is hosting 2010 annual United Oromo Evangelical Church International Conference. We are writing this letter to extend an invitation to our brother and sister all over the United state and the rest of the world. God is rising up a strong Oromo Christian Community through-out the world. He has redeemed us by the blood of  Christ, built Churches and equipped us to make a difference globally. This is the time to gather as one and strength one another through the word, worship, teaching,  training love and fellowship.  

The enthusiastically anticipated West Coast Oromo Churches the 6th Annual Conference was held from March 19-21, 2010 in Oakland, California with the Oromo Evangelical Church of the Bay Area as a host.

All of Oromo churches in the West Cost fully participated in the conference by sending church members, lay ministers, elected elders, and pastors. In addition to the West Cost churches ministers from the Oromo church in Minneapolis traveled to Oakland for the conference. It was a marvelous event --- to see hundreds of Oromo Christians to come together to worship the Lord in the spirit of unity and love. Above all, there is nothing that gives more joy than to hear preachers bring the message of the word of God in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much conviction. It was a great blessing to hear and see the Spirit of the Living God working among us, with heavenly blessing, healing of the sick and speaking of the Holy Spirit giving guidance for individuals who are in need of specific directions in different areas of their lives and answer to questions. 

The communion of African Lutheran Churches across North America is in full participation on this convocation with deep gratitude to God. In such a very distressing, shocking and confusing time for all of our churches we are deeply grateful to God who has never abandoned his beloved church and who offers us this resurrection experience of renewed life in Christ through this convocation. We are also grateful for the leaders of movements such as Word Alone, Lutheran Core and Lutheran Churches in Mission for Christ for their persistent and enduring leadership in season and out of season to stand for our common witness.Read more •

At this juncture I call upon all Oromo churches to join us in an intense and fervent prayer as we move to carry out such a monumental task. As called and commissioned people of God we are compelled by the values and traditions of our faith to act. As I conclude writing this document the words of Mordecai comes to my mind from the book of Esther 4:13, … Read more •
