Bermel Giorgis Will Not Close Again!

Preserving a Sacred Ethiopian Healing Site for Future Generations
እባክዎ የበርሜል ጊዮርጊስን ቤተክርስቲያ የልማት ፕሮጀክቶች ይደግፉ!

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
For nearly two decades, Bermel Giorgis (Barrel Giorgis - a revered holy site in west Gondar, Ethiopia known for its mystical holy water that offers spiritual healing) Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church in West Gondar's Quara Wereda has been a beacon of hope, healing, and divine intervention. Countless pilgrims—searching for cures, spiritual renewal, and relief-seekers from suffering—have travelled to this sacred site, where the holy water has performs mysterious miracles which are beyond medical Science.
Yet today, this vital spiritual lifeline stands on the brink of permanent closure—not for lack of faith, but due to partial & most often entire structural failing of the buildings, lack of proper sanitary facilities, and mainly lack of funding.
In 2015, the church faced a major disaster from a cholera outbreak, caused by lack of inadequate sanitation and water treatment which resulted in loss of lives on these holy grounds. Since then, the church has gone though repeated shutdowns, leaving thousands without access to its healing waters.

We cannot allow this sacred place to vanish into oblivion!!!

This is why Terbinos Travel & Tour, in partnership with the West Gondar Archdiocese (EOTC), has spent three years doing meticulous research, planning, and designing a transformative revival project. Our 10-year master plan will not only rescue Bermel Giorgis from collapse but elevate it into a self-sustaining model of faith with adequate hygiene, and community service—ensuring its continued existence.

Now, we need YOUR help to turn this vision into reality.

The Sacred Legacy of Bermel Giorgis
Established in 2007 E.C., the church’s holy water has been a source of documented miracles, including:

  • Healing chronic illnesses: Cancer, HIV, diabetes, hypertension, and more.
  • Breaking away from addictions: Freeing the mind and soul from substance abuse.
  • Spiritual deliverance: Free pilgrims from evil forces and mental anguish.
  • Divine guidance: Answering prayers and transforming lives.

Despite its power, Bermel Giorgis struggles with:

  • Dangerous sanitary conditions (leading to contagious disease outbreaks).
  • Lack of proper shelter, and access to clean water for pilgrims.
  • Funding deficiency to maintain overall operations, resulting in temporary closures.

The Solution: A Three-Year Well-thought out & Intense Revival Plan

Our phased, sustainable project will remediate existing challenges/Obstacles:

  • Emergency Infrastructure & Hygiene Overhaul (Year 1)
  • Contact-free holy water distribution (preventing contamination).
  • 700+ modern showers & bathrooms (ending sanitation crises).
  • Clean drinking water systems and backup-storage water tankers.
  • Lodging/Shelters for vulnerable pilgrims (disabled, mentally ill, elderly).

Spiritual & Social Expansion (Year 2)
  • Rehabilitation center for addiction recovery.
  • Preaching hall & (Subae Bet) prayer houses for men and women.
  • Residence for Priests to support clergy serving the community.
  • Economic Independence (Year 3 & Beyond)
  • Income-generating facilities (holy oil, church artifacts, traditional textiles).
  • Food processing (edible oil production).

By the end of Year 3 Bermel Giorgis will be a financially sound and self sustaining spiritual institution serving local community and global travelers and piligrams.

Why This Matters Now?
Without immediate intervention, this sacred holy site could disappear forever, taking away the power of healing, Spiritual hope, and tradition of faith that energizes millions who come to Bermel Giorgis for the love and wisdom of the holy water.

Your donation will:
  • Prevent another deadly & disastrous hygiene crisis
  • Restore dignity to pilgrims by building safe and sanitary lodgings
  • Create a blueprint for other holy sites to use Bermel Giorgis as a model across Ethiopia.

Join the Divine Mission
We call on all Ethiopians, Eritreans, and global faithful to act now. Every dollar brings us closer to:
  • A permanent solution to last into generations to come
  • A sanctuary that serves ALL with open hands promoting spiritual healing to those seeking it.
  • A legacy of faith that endures for centuries.
