History and ministry
Lambuda [ለምቡዳ, Google Maps: Lembuda] is located about 10 km north of Hosanna, the administrative center of the Hadiyya Zone.
Sudan Interior Mission (SIM) workers Clarence W. Duff and Reginald Annan settled in Lambuda in 1929. Other SIM missionaries who lived in the new mission station were Norman Couser (1932 ff.) and John Philipps (1933 ff.). The missionaries left Lambuda when Italian troops invaded Ethiopia in 1936 and unrest broke out in the local area as a result.
The work of the missionaries and their local co-workers gave rise to an evangelical congregation that is part of the Kale Heywet Church.
