Hiyaw Amlak Evangelical Church (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
Hiyaw Amalak (Living God) in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is a congregation of Eritrean and Ethiopian immigrants who began meeting as a congregation in about 2012. The congregation has had the vision to reach the Tigrinya-speaking population of Ottawa. The Eritrean diaspora community in and around Ottawa in 2021 was greater than 8,000.
While the congregation has worshipped in Tigrinya, they have had their youth and children’s ministries in English. The congregation of about 50 has been led by Pastors Fitsum Debesay and Habte Araya.
Their connection with Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC) began through their relationship with Getachew Woldeyes (Church of the Living Word, Ottawa) and Jonathan Abraham (Shalom Worship & Healing Centre, Kitchener).
Hiyaw Amalak joined MCEC as a congregation with provisional membership in 2021.
