Words indeed matter to uplift a nation. May God Bless you and your family for standing up in articulating the case with such eloquence.

Only an alien invading army devoid of all sense of belonging to a nation will fill saddened when the rest of Ethiopian are rejoicing.

The Ethiopians in Denver truly are blessed in achieving this milestone when one considers what they went through. I attended the event and heard the Deacon, the point person who built this church making the case that the building is also part museum space to collect and save Ethiopian treasurer that are being looted by Woyane and its gangs and sold to the highest bidder through out the world. Bravo!

Long Live Ethiopia

Gerami ….. What part of Ethio were you born??? Wait, I have a pretty good guess!!!

Do you mean Wayane Pminister stealing money and wealth from the mouth of our hungry and dying brothers, sisters, babies, young and elders and built and still building Hi-rises, Luxiray Villas, Shoping Malls, Factories, Business Buildings, for himself, his wife, his relatives, his friends,his extended families, his employees and their families such as Berekt, his body guards, his supporters etc.? Do you mean this Wayane’s hand is in full swing to make sure Ethiopians other than Tigray province born to dye of hunger, diseases and poverty?

Do you also mean that Ethiopian wealth, resourses and money he has been being snatched and pick-poketted from the poor Ethio people since he illegally sized power and uses it to beautify the once dirt road Mekele Town so that Mekele born men and women will give him full support in his robbing, arresting and killing spree?

Rest assured, despite Waynae and others who are attemptting to destroy my country’s people, rich history and culture there are many many Proud, Ethiopians who would put forward great effort and extra ordinary actions to make Ethiopia always shine.

Building a Great Ethiopian Church in foreign land is one of real Ethiopians achivements. No one asked you to be proud of this great work. We are proud of who we are and what we do.

Real Ethiopians heart is bleeding and saddened by the current poverity and hunger of our people that is mainly caused by Waynae regime. They are doing what ever they can to help including preserving our way of life where ever we go.

Ethi

It is good to hear from Ethiopians that think straight.

Stay blessed

This is good news, encouraging, historical and a good legacy for the future.

All over the internet it is the pictures of our hungry dying brothers and sisters. Here you applaud a castle built in a wealthy country. What good come out of it

let me say what you said above and the whole comment is spot on! I couldn’t say any more!

I am not sure I get your point but we can agreee to disagree without getting political. I wonder why every issue is political for us, Ethiopians. This is a simple issue, Ethiopians built a church in the US. Is it something to be proud of? I don’t think it is for the reasons I tried to mention above. If you think otherwise list your points and try to convince me. We don’t look from the same country if we insult each other in every issue. Let us see some issues out politics.

I was also a member of the Ethiopian Drought Relief of Colorado group that was formed within the church, who in 2,000 and 2003 raised over $100,000 and distributed the funds through UN World Food Programme to alleviate the dreadful famine in Ethiopia. Indeed, one cannot neglect the Jesus’ commandment ……….”For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in” Matthew 25:35, all while the community was resolved in building, the largest church ever constructed outside of Ethiopia. God shows his miracle by choosing the few and enabling them to do wonder in his name.

The name of the church is ‘Dagmawit Gishen Mariam’ bestowed from the most revered church monastery in Wello where the section of the true cross is still kept. Here is a basic information at http://www.ethiopianriftvalleysafaris.com/gishmar.htm

In Ethiopia many of the faithful, take annual pilgrimage to the monastery during Meskel Demera. Subsequently, the Denver Church is chosen to observe this holy period along with Meskerem Mariam Coronation for all Ethiopians who live outside of Ethiopia. This year we were blessed to be joined with many Ethiopians who made this pilgrimage from all over North America and Europe.
Please join us next year of Meskel Demera event and confirm the date by visiting http://www.gishenmariam.org/.

Long live Ethiopia and the Ethiopians in Denver who built this temple in his name.

They make all of us proud!!!

You don’t get my point here. Before getting Bereket Simon on me, try to understand what my point is. I agree with you, there are many Ethiopians excelling in foriegn countries and that makes me proud. There is one Ethiopian whom CNN listed him as one of 10 heroes of this year. That makes me proud. I am proud when I hear Ethiopians succeding in any area, Athletics, fashion or you name it. I am not saying Ethiopians are not excelling. But this particular story, Ethiopians building a church in the US does not make me proud. Sorry to disappoint you. What is the church is for? For hodam Diacons and Kesis sit and eat thier. I don’t want to blame the guys who did this. Anybody can do whatever pleases him/her. The title of the story is Ethipians in Denver make Ethiopia proud. All I am saying is I am not proud and nobody should. Got it deme?

One thing that ethiopians should not be proud is by ur ethiopianity. What a scum! work hard and build whatever you want but dont steal like the wayannies( whom you are a member). While your woyannies are stealing the poor countries wealth, the diaspora has to work hard and feed the victims……this what the woyannies call it justies.

Our people in Ethiopia are poor because your chigram cousins are in power and would not let the people live and work peacefully and freely. Where Ethiopians live freerly, they can show what they can do. It is not only churches that Ethiopians in the U.S. are building. There have been stories right here in this web site about Ethiopians excelling in many fields, including building amazingly successful businesses.

So what if there is sister city in Denver name is Axum?

There is Gonder sister city …
There is Bahir Dar sister city…
There is other Ethiopian cities that are sister cities.

Axum is where all Ethiopian history started , it has nothing to do with Weyane.

Even our religion, Orthodox Church, has its origins and is based out in Axum.

Since you told us this information I will go visit Axum St. in Denver since I have not been able to see Axum in Ethiopia before.
