Origin Story

Benaiah is God's initiative put into the hearts of Dagmawi Esayas and Akinahom Getahun. Benaiah came from the Hebrew word bana (to build) and yah (Yahweh) meaning 'Yahweh has Built or Created.' It is also the name of a mighty and honored warrior in David's kingdom whose heroic deeds are described in 2 Samuel 23:20-23.

The team is composed of 20 wondeful individuals from Ethiopia and USA. Which includes authors, Graphics Designers, Narrators and Software Developers. After the formation of the team, we all started producing so much written, visual and audio content for 4 months. All of which is aimed at glorifying God, sharing the good news of the gospel and to encourage and give hope to Amharic and English speaking people.

2 Samuel 23:20-23 NLT

"There was also Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior from Kabzeel. He did many heroic deeds, which included killing two champions of Moab. Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it.

Once, armed only with a club, he killed an imposing Egyptian warrior who was armed with a spear. Benaiah wrenched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with it. Deeds like these made Benaiah as famous as the Three mightiest warriors.

He was more honored than the other members of the Thirty, though he was not one of the Three. And David made him captain of his bodyguard."

This is the process of how we came up with our logo. Our logo is a modern and minimal logo, that has the name Benaiah written in the 'Batangas' typeface and an upwards pointing arrow.
