ABOUT GALATA
Faith expressed through love.
Galata means gratitude. Our ministry grows from thanksgiving for the grace of God and a desire to make His love known in everyday life.
Walking alongside one another
Our ministry is built through relationships, prayer, and practical service. We give thanks for the people who welcome us and for the local partners who faithfully serve their neighbours.
Our mission
We seek to help people know Jesus Christ, grow as His disciples, and serve their neighbours. We serve people of every background, respecting each person’s dignity, voice, and relationships.
How we work
We serve alongside Tosi Toki Across the World (TTAW) and local churches in Ethiopia. Our shared concern is to make Jesus Christ known, nurture discipleship, and express His love through practical care. Galata continues to support clean water, orphaned children within their communities, and humanitarian work shaped by local needs.
We listen before acting, respect local knowledge, and seek to strengthen care that can endure.

Help this work continue
Your support can help sustain gospel outreach, discipleship, school supplies for children, and practical care for families and older people. Our future priorities also include youth fellowship, Christian reading resources, and Galata’s ongoing clean-water vision. We will develop this work with local partners as resources allow.
May every act of service point to the love of Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory.
FUTURE PRIORITIES
Walking faithfully into the years ahead
Drawing on Tosi Toki’s five-year strategic plan, we see opportunities to deepen our partnership in the following areas. These are priorities to develop through prayer, local consultation, and available support.
Equip those who serve
Encourage biblical training, mentoring, and practical support for evangelists and church leaders, so new believers can grow through steady teaching and fellowship.
Strengthen community care
Work toward more consistent educational support for orphaned children and practical help for older people, families, and mothers receiving care. Clean water remains part of Galata’s ongoing vision.
Walk alongside young people
Explore opportunities for young people to read Scripture, learn, build friendships, and share music and recreation in a supportive Christian setting.
Pass faith to the next generation
Encourage Christian books, locally meaningful teaching materials, music, and reading resources that help preserve testimony and nurture faith.
Serve with care and accountability
We want our partnership to grow through clear priorities, regular communication, and honest reporting about what has been done and what remains. New projects will depend on agreed plans, local capacity, and funding.
Our prayer is that everything we do will honour Jesus Christ and help others see His love. To Him be the glory.
Let’s walk together.
