Started in 2003 by Tafesse Kidane, GreenStone Ministry is commited to this simple vision: a Bible for every family in Ethiopia in their heart language. To bring this vision to fruition, we purchase Bibles in the Amharic, Oromo and Tigray languages from the Ethiopian Bible Society and work with local pastors and evangelists to bring these Bibles to communities in need. Alongside our Bible distributions, we also bring study guides, school supplies, clothing items and soccer balls with the intention of serving communities wholistically. By the grace of God, we have been able to bring over 16,000 Bibles to believers in their heart language, and have been honored to run over 50 mission trips in order to distribute these Bibles.
Our ultimate desire and prayer is to acquire and open the Onesimus Book and Print Shop in Addis Abeba, which will support Bible distribution in the long term. This print shop will provide on-demand educational materials and will serve local print needs for neighborhood businesses and colleges. It will also include Tafu's Book Shop and Library.
