Background
The name, Ethanayah, created by God, came to be from two separate seasons and episodes in my life. The first involved two dreams I had in 2015 about a bunch of children. It was revealed to me just last year, 2017, that a little boy named Ethan was the only child that spoke in those dreams. The second involved a little girl named Anayah whom I trained in a one-on-one baptism course out of her desire to be baptized at the age of seven (7), when her family's tradition was that the children could not be baptized until age twelve (12).
It was upon completion of this training that the Lord spoke to me that He wanted me to start a baptism training school for children who wanted to be baptized but their parents did not think they were ready. He then had me to look up the meaning of the children's names. Ethan means “strong/firm”. Anayah means “God has answered”. God combined the names and then announced to me that the name of the school would be Ethanayah because “Firmly God has answered”!
