Full Gospel Believers Church or Mulu Wongel church (in Amharic) is a Pentecostal church located in the country's capital city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The senior pastor is Wake Yilma.

History

Mulu Wongel church is founded in 1967 in Addis Ababa. [1] [2]

Mulu Wongel is the third largest evangelical church in Ethiopia, after the Kale Heywet Word of Life Church and Mekane Yesus churches. Ketena Hulet Mulu Wongel is the main branch of numerous Mulu Wongel churches found in Addis Ababa and nationwide. Over 5,000 Ethiopians regularly attend Sunday services in Ketena Hulet while the church has over 35,000 members in 18 congregations in the city.[3] Since the financially poor Ketena Hulet church lacks the infrastructure to shelter all its members weekly, it uses several tents adjacent to its building for its worship programs. In one recent conference held by the church in Addis Ababa's main stadium, its members overflowed the whole stadium and used the football field to contain the worshipers.

Since the 1990s, the church began establishing bible schools and theology colleges to develop its leaders.
