Feyassa Muleta from Ethiopia is a 2^nd year MA student in Mission Studies at Africa International University (AIU). He has passion in missionary work.

Muleta, why did you chose to study at AIU?

I joined AIU because of the good academic approach that is not only based on the bible, but also beyond. As a missionary, one of my courses, Sociology of Language has helped me deal with complications of different cultures and know what to consider when taking the gospel to different social groups. I have also learnt to be appropriate to both the Bible and the targeted culture.

Where particularly, was your focus in missions before joining AIU?

I worked with Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL), an international NGO inAddis Ababa, Ethiopia, which in Kenya is referred to as Bible Translation and Literacy (BTL). My occupation in the organization was field work that entailed a project known as ‘Audio Bible Distribution,’ among various ethnic groups.  Read the full story »
