He pretty much campaigned on a single, solitary promise: “Elect me as Prime Minister and I’ll show you how an evangelical Christian pastors a nation.” Now, just months later, Abiy Ahmed has won the Nobel Peace Prize, distinguishing himself not just as pastor of a nation, but peacemaker for a world. He’s invited his enemies to return to Ethiopia so they will have a voice in a peaceful political process. Never mind that he might believe in the old adage, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” Never mind that some people still call him “revivalist.” That’s what he’s doing. He’s reviving a nation. And with some 26% of the nation of Ethiopia now claiming to be evangelical Christian, today is Ethiopia’s time. Today is Ethiopia’s Day.
