Unfortunately, Dr. Negaso Gidada has had to cancel his attendance at NWMC. Dr. Gidada was scheduled to be the opening speaker on Saturday evening, July 19th. Political pressures have created a personal situation that does not allow Dr. Gidada to leave Ethiopia at this time. NWMC Director, Rev. Dr. Don Dawson will speak in his place at 7:45 PM on Saturday.
