የውዱ ፓውሎስ አብዲ መንግስቱ አጭር የህይወት ታሪክ

ፓውሎስ አብዲ መንግስቱ በኢትዮጵያ አቆጣጠር ሰኔ 18፣ 1944 (ሰኔ 21፣ 1952 G.C) በአዲስ አበባ ኢትዮጵያ ተወልዶ፤ ታህሳስ 4፣ 2015 (ታህሳስ 14፣ 2022 G.C) በዳላስ ቴክሳስ ዩናይትድ ስቴትስ ሜቶዲስት ሆስፒታል አረፈ።

ፓውሎስ ከአባቱ ከአቶ አብዲ መንግስቱ እና ከእናቱ ከወ/ሮ በቀለች  አሎ በአዲስ አበባ ኢትዮጵያ ተወለደ እንዲሁም የሁለተኛ ደረጃ ትምህርቱን በልደታ ካቶሊክ ካቴድራል ት/ቤት ፒያሳ አጠናቀቀ። ፓውሎስ የልብስ ስፌት ሙያ በማስተማር ይተዳደር ነበር። ከጊዜ በኋላ ደግሞ በብሪቲሽ ካውንስል ላይብረሪ ውስጥ ከ1976 እስከ 1980 ድረስ ተቀጥሮ ይሰራ ነበር ። የአካላዊ ሕክምና ምስክር ወረቀት በመወሰድ ለተወሰኑ አመታት በሙያው ሰርቷል።

ራሱን ለይሖዋ ወስኖ የካቲት 24፣ 1963 (መጋቢት 1፣ 1970 G.C) በውኃ ከተጠመቀ በኋላ ሌሎች ስለይሆዋ እንዲያውቁ መርዳት ከምንም ነገር በላይ የሚያስደስተው በመሆኑ ምሥራቹ የሚገባቸውን ሰዎች ለመፈለግ በተለያዩ ቦታዎች  ቀናተኛ የአምላክ መንግሥት ሰባኪ በመሆን ለበርካታ አመታት  በአጋሮ በጂማ እና በከፋ  በሙሉ ጊዜ ሰባኪነት ለረጅም አመት  አገልግሏል።  ፓውሎስ በቤተሰቦቹ  እንዲሁም በወንድሞችና እህቶች ዘንድ በትግስተኝነቱና በትህትናው ይታወቅ ነበር። ፓውሎስ የሚያውቁት ሰዎች ሁሉ ከይሖዋ ጋር ያለው ዝምድና እንዲሁም ለእሱ የሚያቀርበው አገልግሎት በሕይወቱ ውስጥ ከሁሉም የላቀውን ቦታ የያዘ መሆኑን ማየት ይችሉ ነበር።

ከውድ ባለቤቱ ፀሃይ ተበጀ ጋር  መስከረም 1980 (መስከረም 1988  G.C) ጋብቻ የመሰረቱ ሲሆን ከነሃሴ 1982 (ነሃሴ 1990 G.C) ጀምሮም ወደ አሜሪካ አገር መጥቶ ከባለቤቱ ጋር ኑሮቸውን በዳላስ ቴክሳስ መምራት ጀምሩ። ከዚያም ልጃቸውን ኦቤድን (ትውልድ 1991) ወልደው እያሳደጉ ቆይተዋል።

ፓውሎስ በነበረው ሰዎችን ለመርዳት ባለው ልዩ ፍላጎትና ይሖዋን ለማገልገል ባለው ፅኑ ቅንዓት ይታወቃል ። ፓውሎስ በውድ ባለቤቱ ፀሃይ ተበጀ፣  እንዲሁም ልጁ ኦቤድ፣  በእህቱ አስቴር እና ባለቤቷ ከበደ  አጥላባቸው ፣ በእህቱ መሰረት እና ባለቤቷ  ፍቃዱ አጥላባቸው ፣ በወንድሞቹ ወሂብ ጥሩነህ ፣ በእህቱ ፋንታዬ ተበጀበ ተጨማሪም በቤተሰቦቹ፣ በዘመዶቹ፣ በመንፈሳዊ ወንድሞቹና እህቶቹ እንዲሁም በጓደኞቹ ዘንድ ይታወሳል።

ምስጋናዎች

ቤተሰቡ በሃዘናቸው ጊዜ በአካል በመገኘት፣ በስልክና እንዲሁም በሌሎች መንገዶች ለተደረገላቸው ፍቅራዊ ድጋፍና ማጽናኛ ከልብ ለማመስገን ይፈልጋሉ።
