PHILIPPINES
The Philippines consists of over 7,200 islands, only 700 of which are inhabited. The former Spanish colony is experiencing a rapid population swell that remains highly diverse while its economy struggles to keep up.
The Catholic Church holds a firm grasp on Filipino culture and the region has become a central hub for missionaries mobilizing into neighboring countries. Local churches are uniting to spread the Gospel across the Philippines, assembling a sending force of over 3,000 missionaries. However, over 5 million people have still never heard the Gospel, coming from 33 different people groups.
e3 Partners is working to ensure that a thriving local church exists in every community throughout Philippines. We are equipping existing believers and training local pastors to identify unreached communities and share the Gospel effectively. As people come to faith in Christ, we are establishing small groups that help them take the next steps in their spiritual growth and serve as the seeds for new churches.

Grace upon grace to you.
I have set up this page to help cover ministry expenses for trips. I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be in a season of where I can GO to the nations. I could not do this without the support of the body of Christ. Throughout the years I have witnessed the beauty of the body of Christ serving together through praying, sending and going. We all have a special role to play in seeing the gospel spread to the ends of the earth. The church is God's masterpiece and we partner together in the good works he has planned for us for his glory. God didn't have to chose to use his people for the spread of the gospel but I believe he has given his people this command as a gift in love to be a part of what He is doing. What a gift!
John Piper is quoted as saying "Missions exists because worship doesn't exist." Worship is the ultimate goal! One day there will be a multitude beyond anyone can count from every nation worshipping Jesus. We have this promise that God's plan will not be stopped.
I am so thankful for your partnership in the cause of Christ.
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20
