Front-End Developer and former campus Digital Strategy leader passionate about using technology for God's Kingdom.
Misael Dessalegn was born in Hosana, a town renowned for its natural beauty and close-knit community. From a young age, he developed a profound interest in technology and its transformative potential. While studying at Arba Minch University, Misael discovered his passion for software development within the context of God's Kingdom.
His journey into digital ministry began during his second year at university when fellowship leaders invited him to a Digital Strategy (DS) retreat in Debre Zeyit City. The presentations and discussions at this retreat profoundly transformed his perspective on life and ministry, igniting a fervent desire to leverage technology for advancing God's Kingdom. Inspired, he returned to campus determined to establish and lead a digital strategy team.
For two years, Misael dedicated himself to leading the campus DS team, collaborating with like-minded individuals to utilize digital platforms for spreading God's love and connecting with people. After graduating from Arba Minch University, he transitioned to the national digital strategy team in Addis Ababa, expanding his skills and contributing to digital initiatives on a broader scale. Currently, he is actively involved in designing and implementing digital strategies that support the mission of expanding God's Kingdom through technology.
