Our Story

Founded by Pastor Michael Arega, Elpis International emerged from a deep concern for orphaned children in Ethiopia. Partnering with Pastor Manny Keyser, the organization began its journey in 2008, with the first missionary from the U.S., Josh Leinbach, who helped meet physical needs and spread hope through Jesus Christ. From supporting just 18 children, Elpis has expanded its reach to assist many more, including widows and evangelists, through dedicated feeding centers and sponsorship programs.

Our Impact

Elpis International has successfully supported 145 children through its sponsorship program and provided monthly provisions to 80 widows. The organization has facilitated over 20 mission trips with 75 volunteers, establishing two feeding centers that serve the community. Notably, 9 university graduates have emerged from its sponsored individuals, showcasing a commitment to long-term change and empowerment.
