BURUNDI
About the size of Maryland, Burundi is a small nation of coffee and tea farmers. It sits along the northeast shore of Lake Tanganyika and is marked by a mountainous, fertile countryside. Often known as Rwanda’s “twin,” Burundi is mostly populated by the rivaling Hutu and Tutsi people.
Despite ethnic tensions, the 1990’s became a time of revival and growth for evangelical Christianity that continues today. Still, an estimated 17,000 Burundians have never heard the Gospel and live in communities without any church or missionary presence.
e3 Partners is working to ensure that a thriving local church exists in every community throughout Burundi. 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.
Andrew & Sarah Fish's Partner Team
All around us are people that the Bible calls “lost” — those living (and dying) far from God. Many of them are in far away places where there are few, if any, followers of Jesus; however, many also live in our local communities. Current research shows that about 2/3 of our friends, family, and neighbors wouldn’t come to church even if invited. Whether near or far, lost people are on God’s heart — and, by God’s grace, we’ve been given a part in His plan to reach them.
We desire that everyone in our community, and beyond, has an authentic invitation to hear about Jesus and become His disciple. In churches, we see believers who have a desire to share about Jesus with others who still need to be equipped and empowered to do so. We believe that people currently far from God can become disciples who will disciple others. Disciples who make disciples, over and over across multiple spiritual generations, is the Biblical solution for our lost world.
That’s why we’re excited about “No Place Left,” a global network we’ve been working with locally since 2021. Inspired by Paul’s words in Romans 15:8-24, we’re trusting God that one day there will literally be no place left in our community, our state, and our world where the name of Jesus hasn’t been heard.
