Berhanu said that he is honoured that the members of ICYCW entrusted him with the important task of serving young Christian workers in different part of the world. He called on all young Christian workers to answer to God\u2019s call by being faithful to their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Christians one of the ways Young people can contribute to spreading of the Good News is by dedicating themselves to the work they are involved in and honestly serve the people, this by itself is testimony of the Gospel. In the meantime, when we are committed to our work we can witness God\u2019s Love as he will fill us with His Grace that will make us successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Berhanu also said the national YCW is involved in the preparation for the 19th<\/sup> AMECEA Plenary that will to be held in Addis Ababa in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung Catholics can contribute a lot to the evangelizing mission of Our Church in Ethiopia; YCW hopes to mobilize as many youths as possible throughout the country to pray for the Canonization of Bl. Gebremichael, the first Ethiopian Catholic Martyr,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also expresses his hope to represent well Ethiopia and Africa in particular and all the people who entrusted him with the task through voting for him by fulfilling the task successfully. \u201cI would like to ask all young Christian workers to pray for me so that God may bless me with the wisdom to handle all my responsibilities as per His will and to the best interest of all members,\u201d said Berhanu.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia has a good number of active members of YCW mainly in 7 Dioceses.<\/p>\n
