Kingdom
KMA urges us to put God’s kingdom above our own organizations and to live with an eternal perspective without being tangled up in a temporary and earthly agenda. It reminds us our Lord’s Prayer and teaching to fulfill His will on earth as it is in heaven and advance His kingdom among all peoples. In addition, we believe God’s kingdom is greater than all of us therefore we give priority to His kingdom and work in unity. We believe the Body of Christ is one and all of us who believe in Christ are members of this same Body of Christ.
Mission
Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commission that our Lord Jesus Christ has given us in Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15 and Acts 1:8. This means (1) reconcile man to God, man to himself and man to creation (2) reach peoples, tribes, languages and nations with the gospel and make disciples and to train and equip them to fulfill the Great Commission; (3) give priority to those who have little or no access to the gospel; (4) express our faith in work and our love for our neighbors in action through providing practical help and support.
Alliance
Alliance is one of the ways we reveal the unity of the Spirit in the Lord in action and at the same time it is the way we overcome the enemy, increase our fruitfulness in our service, witness that Christ was sent by God and demonstrate to the world that we who belong to Jesus are disciples of Christ. Therefore KMA creates an ideal environment to love one another (John 13:34-35), to work together in unity (John 17), to support and serve together in humility, to strengthen the unity of the Church and to promote righteous influence in order to accomplish God’s eternal agenda for His glory.
Kingdom Mission Alliance (KMA) is a charitable Christian organization founded in the United States in 2022. The purpose of this organization (KMA) is to create spiritual unity among the Ethiopian and Eritrean evangelical churches in North America, Ethiopia and all over the world through tactical coordination in order to take the gospel to all nations and minister to the whole person. The acronym KMA stands and emphasizes three words: kingdom, mission and alliance.
How did KMA Started?
KMA was started when few brethren sensed God’s will to start an alliance that will create an ideal environment to bring churches, organizations and individuals under one umbrella to play our role in completing the Great Commission. This is how it all began:
JUNE 2020
Dr. Markos Zemede, Pastor Endashaw Kelkele and Dr. Bekele Shanko were invited to speak at a mission conference by Pastor Henock Tsegaye, the Senior Pastor of Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church in Kansas.
JULY 2020
These four brethren mentioned above decided to meet virtually each month to pray and encourage each other.
January 2021
The four brethren agreed to add three more pastors and Pastor Endalkachew Tefera, Pastor Mekashaw Shimeles and Pastor Aschalew Beyene were added and continue to meet virtually every month for prayer and encouragement as the “seven friends”. But Pastor Aschalew Beyene was unable to continue with the group and Pastor Mussie Tsegaye replaced him and the “seven friends”continue to meet monthly.
October 2021
The “seven friends” met for three days for the first-time in person in North Carolina by Pastor Endalkachew’s invitation to pray and consult together. It was at this time of prayer and consultation God guided them to start KMA. It was at this time that the key ideas of KMA were designed.
