The E.L.C.E. was established by dedicated Eritrean deacons and priests from the Orthodox Church of Eritea and the members of the Swedish missionaries. The Swedish missionaries arrived at Imkullu near Massawa the port city of Eritrea on 15 March 1866. The missionaries did not come to preach the gospel in Eritrea. But they came to Eritrea on their way to go to ethiopia to proclaim the gospel to the Orom people. However, because of the political unrest in Ethiopia, they could not go there. Instead, in the same year in 1866 they traveled to the Kunama and Gheleb (Mensa) people in Eritrea to preach the gospel. After six years, (1872-1874) both the Eritreans and the Swedes had training and experience at Imkullu, Kunama and Mensa. <ref>"HISTORY: ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH OF ERITREA E.
