UKRAINE
Despite being Europe’s second largest state, Ukraine is often considered a forgotten country. Once known as the “breadbasket of Europe,” its economy is largely dependent on the country’s rich agriculture and vast mineral deposits. The former communist state is often torn between its past and European future.
However, Ukraine enjoys a rich Christian heritage and was once known as the “Bible Belt” of the Soviet Union. Today, evangelicals are striving to reach their countrymen and Ukrainian missions agencies are taking the Gospel throughout the Slavic world. Still, over half a million people have never heard the Gospel, hailing from 38 different unreached people groups.
e3 Partners is working to ensure that a thriving local church exists in every community throughout Ukraine. 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.

Until the whole world hears!
This phrase has been stirring in my heart and mind for the past several years. Over the years with all of the mission trips that I have been on, God has tugged at my heart, to want everyone that I know and come in contact with to experience the love of Christ and to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.
On my first mission trip with e3 Partners I was blessed to share the Gospel early one morning with a lady in her small fabric store in the front room of her house. Little did I know, but one of her employees working on the other side of the room behind a counter was listening as we shared the hope, peace and love that Christ offers. After sharing the good news with the owner of the shop we asked her if she would like to ask Jesus to become her Lord and Savior. That’s when the employee came running up to us with tears in her eyes wanting to have in her heart what she had been missing her whole life. She said that she knew something was missing in her life and there was nothing she could do to fill that void. She said when she heard the words that we were speaking there was a feeling that came over her and something was different something that she had never felt before. The Holy Spirit was working in her life. We prayed with both the ladies that day for them to accept the love, hope and peace that Jesus has to offer. Many people gave their life to Christ on that trip. I see the work that is being done through e3 Partners to disciple new believers as new churches are being started all over the world.
Back in 2012 I felt God calling me to join with e3 Partners as an International Church Planter. This position calls for me to partner with friends and family like you to raise support. Would you pray about the possibility of supporting me through e3 Partners as I share the Gospel and plant churches internationally.
