History and ministry
Former “Meserete Heywet Church“
Lakew Tesema was one of the persons who helped establish this congregation (see his biography on DACB.org).
Singers associated with this congregation:
“Dr. Firew, Dr. Simeon Mulatu and a couple of others (I believe teaching at the Evangelical College of Theology) can write on the Geja Kale Hiowot Choir for they were members of that group during Dergue times.” (DB)
