Psalm 23
1. The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
. . . . . He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul;
. . . . He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
. . . . I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
. . . .Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
. . . . . Thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and forever. Amen.

And the Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying rise up, and go toward the south
unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
And he arose and went; and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a Eunuch of great authority
under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her
treasure and had come to Jerusalem for to worship . . .
Acts 8 : 26-27
The Gift of God can never be destroyed by man.
Civilizations pass but praising of God in a heavenly manner would never cease.
By the Grace and Will of Almighty God and with the blessings of The Holy Synod in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia; and the Prayers of my Sisters at Getesemani Monastery in Sebeta, Ethiopia;
we, two Ethiopian Orthodox Monks; His Grace Abuna (Archbishop) Ewostateos Gebre-Kristos and
Emahoy Hannah Mariam have a vision and Prayers to establish a Ethiopian Orthodox Christian
Monastery in Miami / Homestead, South Florida; with detached living, and teaching facilities for Ethiopian
Orthodox Monks in the USA. This property will be within an hour or two drive from the Miami Fl. urban
area. This is necessary to provide the necessary quiet and solitude.
We are engaged in on-going fund raising efforts to purchase the suitable property. so we may have a permanent place.
At the moment we are like Bahetawes / hermits, living and praying singularly. Please keep us in your prayers
Please contact us by e-mail if you have questions or if you would like to assist us in our Humble Efforts.
Thank You and May the Grace of God be with you all eternally

FOR BASIC INFOMATION ABOUT EOTC SERVICE
We hope to create a restful, peaceful environment for all Orthodox Monks to be able to call their own and be able to go on retreat, away from the big cities where many of them now live and serve the Orthodox faithful.
The Monastic Church will be strictly built in accordance with the Canon Law.
Debre Berhan Selassie Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Monastery will be a Christian Monastic place of worship and living in the traditional ancient ways serving God. A place to share knowledge of our Faith and Practice of Worship, where everyone will feel welcomed and free to learn and Pray.
It will architecturally reflect the traditional style of churches in Ethiopia.
Debre Berhan Selassie Monastic Church will conduct Full Liturgical Services Including Baptism, Weddings, and serve the spiritual needs of the Orthodox Community.
We also hope to have in the future a Youth facility and a Spiritual Retreat Center for all members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church community, as well as a retreat for anyone who is in need of spiritual reflection. These facilities would further enhance the traditional evangelical ministry of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Monastic life, as a spiritual education venue in the US.
