Engineer-turned-digital-missionary leading digital product innovation for the Gospel in Ethiopia.

Saron Yohannes, the youngest in a family of nine, was born in Durame, Ethiopia, and raised in a Christ-centered home. Her deep admiration for her parents' faith led her to know Jesus personally from a young age. She earned a BSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Wachemo University in 2019. During her university internship, Saron prayed for direction and was led to Great Commission Ministry Ethiopia. There, she found the opportunity to combine her love for God and her technical skills to serve in Digital Strategies. From intern to team leader, Saron has held various roles and now leads the Products Team, building platforms and tools that expand digital missions in Ethiopia. Guided by Philippians 1:21, she is passionate about sharing the love of Christ both online and offline. She believes every line of code and every product she leads should bring glory to God and reach more people with the Gospel. Her background includes short courses in mentoring, graphic design, and leadership, which enrich her work and ministry.
