Naomi Leenhouts

The work

What they do

Naomi Leenhouts helps lead small missions groups to Ethiopia. Her aim is for visiting teams to invest in people's lives, learning from Ethiopians as much as ministering with them. Together they work in the areas of farming techniques, handicap assistance, and business-led ministries.

Because Ethiopia is shaped by two major religious traditions, Naomi also provides teams with orientation to the Coptic Orthodox church and to Islam, so that groups arrive prepared to listen and engage with understanding. She is a student of the history of missions in Ethiopia, and brings that background to the teams she accompanies.
