Hidden Triumph in Ethiopia
When Kay Bascom and her doctor husband landed at a hospital in southern Ethiopia, they found themselves face to face with first generation believers in their fi rst love for the Lord Jesus Christ. While in and out of Ethiopia over the next thirty years, they saw the Ethiopian believers’ experience as a modern chapter of Acts. Witnessing the Marxist Revolution and the subsequent persecution of the Christian church, Kay was burdened to make known the incredible account of “hidden triumphs in Ethiopia” to the outside world. After interviewing over a hundred people, she chose Negussie’s story as representative of that era’s triumph.
Triumph Over Terror
Hidden Triumph in Ethiopia could be a chapter right out of the book of Acts or Hebrews. Against the backdrop of Ethiopia’s tribulation under a cruel Marxist regime, Kay Bascom graphically follows the true adventures of an unlikely hero, ‘crippled’ Negussie, whom terror could not silence. The loyalty of childhood playmates—a national and a missionary’s son, and the romance of a man and woman run like golden threads through this tapestry of persecuted Christians in an ancient land.

Hidden Triumph in Ethiopia is a contemporary addition to the amazing saga of the church in Ethiopia. It should challenge and encourage Christians everywhere.
