In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, Amen “The God of heaven will prosper us; therefore, we His servants will arise and build” (Nehemiah 2:20) There is a monastery in the northern part of Ethiopia named after Saint Abba Samuel, who was a monk in the 15th century. This Monastery, Hamere Birhan St. Abba Samuel Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo is named after him to commemorate and receive blessing. Additionally, this name change was suggested by the bishop of our region Abune Fanuel. Formerly, it was registered as, “Hamere Berhan Bisrate Gebreal Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo (EOT) Monastery.” Mission and Goals The mission of Hamere Birhan St. Abba Samuel EOT Monastery is to serve Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians, mainly to cultivate the next generation in order to inherit the church. The establishment of this monastery is to expand Abinnet School which teaches liturgy, poetry, hymns, and other bible studies. Abinnet School is designed to help the congregations, especially Tewahedo children and youth, to grow spiritually and strengthen their faith, ultimately, creating a generation that will keep the religion, its identity and inherit the church. Cost and Fundraising By the grace of God, the monastery/Land is in the process of being purchased. It comprises of 50,000± square feet of building space in a campus style setting and is situated on 116± acres of land located in Zuni, Virginia (5351 Presbyterian Drive, Zuni, VA 23898). The property  was originally being offered at $2,200,000.00, but cureently the seller set the price to $1,500,000.00 and we are asked to raise and prepare the requested amount before July, 30th 2018. If 150,000 of you people living in U.S and other parts of the world each donate as little as $10 dollars (150,000x$10 = $1,500,000.00), the property can be purchased. Moreover, this mission will not be possible without your support. Please help us fervently donate in any way you can and spread the word, so our longtime dream can be fulfilled. “It is time for thee, Lord, to work” (Psalm 119:126) To read the entire message, please follow the following link to the website <a href="http://www.abbasamueleotm.org." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.abbasamueleotm.org.</a> You can also donate on the website.
