We want to help people learn easy ways to share the hope and love of Christ with their neighbors in the midst of this crisis. People are searching for hope right now, and as Christians, we have an opportunity to share the one true source of hope with them. This series is meant to do just that — to share the hope of Jesus through looking at specific stories in the Bible.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” — 1 Peter 3:15
The Content:
The Bible Stories of Hope series is a discovery Bible study on Jesus’ authority over all. Each week we’ll go through a story from the book of Luke highlighting Jesus, His love, His power, and ultimately the hope He gives us. We’ll discuss what the story teaches us, and how we should apply the lesson to our lives.
The Format:
Each session starts with a time of care, allowing each person to briefly share how they are doing. Then we move into a time of accountability where we follow up on the actions we challenged ourselves to do at the end of the previous week’s session (e.g. share the Bible story with someone else).
From there, we move into a time of studying — reading through a new Bible story and discussing the meaning and importance of the story. We answer questions from the text and then practice retelling the story so that we can build confidence in sharing it with others. Lastly, we close by thinking of someone in our sphere of influence we can share the story with in the coming days, and then we pray together.
The Series Leader:
e3 Partners’ own Troy Cooper will be leading us through the Bible Stories of Hope series.
Troy is the VP of Global City Strategy for e3. He and his family have a passion for spreading the gospel and equipping local believers to make disciples and plant churches. They live on mission among the 93% unchurched communities in southern California and serve in various other parts all over the world as well.
Recordings from Previous Weeks
Everett and Beth Altman
Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to prayerfully consider joining our Ministry Support Team!
It is truly a privilege to be called into full-time ministry, and we are so humbled and excited to be playing a small role in everything the Lord is doing across Asia! We know this role is aligned with our giftings and exactly where the Lord designed us to be. May we be steadfast and obedient in our mission to see no place left in Asia where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has not yet reached.
In effort to see no place left Asia, we have stepped into a role serving as the primary stateside support for some of the largest church planting movements across all of Asia. A ministry producing over 2,500 Gospel shares, 35 baptisms, and 25 new churches started each day requires a substantial amount of leadership development, training, and tracking work. As the stateside support, we specialize in tasks such as organizing and facilitating overseas regional training summits, implementing high-level strategy initiatives, and leading multifaceted research teams in tracking, verifying, and analyzing complex church networks.
Being a 100% donor funded position with this role demanding full-time involvement, we are actively assembling a team of committed people to come alongside us in prayer and financial support. With a team of 80 to 90 people giving an average gift of $100 to $200 a month, we could adequately provide for our practical needs, ministry trips and expenses, and any unexpected financial emergencies. Our goal is to have successfully assembled this team before our baby girl arrives at the beginning of June!
We hope you prayerfully consider joining our ministry support team. (All gifts are 100% tax deductible.) If you would like to take that next step, simply click the “Donate to this Fundraiser” button above to set up your financial giving account!
