Welcome to antish blogs

Hi, I’m Antenhe Deribe Gebremedhin. I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and raised in both Awassa and Addis Ababa—two vibrant cities that shaped my values, my love for people, and my sense of purpose. Today, I live in Alexandria, Virginia, with my wife, Rahel Siefu Kebede, and together we share a passion for faith, service, and community.
Though I hold a degree in Information Technology, much of my life’s journey has been devoted to community work, ministry, and leadership development. Over the years, I’ve served with international NGOs in roles ranging from social worker to project coordinator, supporting child sponsorship programs, vocational training, and rural development projects.

For more than a decade, I’ve also served as a full-time youth and young adult ministry leader. My focus has been on spiritual formation, counseling, mission mobilization, and equipping the next generation of leaders. I believe deeply in helping others discover their God-given calling and walk boldly in it—impacting not just their own lives, but their families, churches, and communities.
At the heart of it all, my passion is to see people grow, lead, and make a difference. Whether through ministry, mentorship, or service, my goal is simple: to empower others to live with purpose and create lasting change.
