A Migrant Worker's 700 Mile Evangelism Journey

For those willing to keep their hands to the plow, COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdowns are opening doors of opportunity to spread the gospel to new people and places. Consider Rohit*, a migrant worker laboring in one of the most populous cities in South Asia. One of over 40 million such migrant workers in his home country, Rohit had already beaten the odds…
Here and There

Here and There

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, three of our missionary families from a partner church in Oklahoma had to leave their homes in Asia and return to the US.

Bread of Life Ministry

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated what were already difficult times in Venezuela. Millions had fled the country in recent years, searching for hope and a better life elsewhere.

Seventeen Days

When the COVID-19 virus hit South Asia, like other areas across the world, businesses closed, schools shut down and public buildings locked their doors. This caused fear, anxiety, and complications throughout the region, but it also caused many to experience hope and love like they never had before. This is the story of how that happened.
Faith in the Face of Persecution

Faith in the Face of Persecution

Dahlia* is a Christian like you and me, but where she lives, in South Asia, Christianity is not okay. For her, participating in worship and Bible studies is dangerous, persecution is normal, and putting her faith in Christ means putting her earthly life at risk.

Recently, Dahlia was caught studying her Bible by others in her village…

"Do you not say, `There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.”(John 4:34-35)

 In Sudan and South Sudan the fields are white for harvest and God has given us a tremendous opportunity to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to one of the most unreached and difficult parts of the world. In spite of what appears to be insurmountable obstacles Christ is moving in unfathomable ways in transforming lives, erasing tribal boundaries, removing the chains of bondage, through the power of the proclamation of the Gospel of CHRIST crucified. He has granted us stewardship of this ministry.

 Our mission is to be obedient to the LORD'S command to go and make disciples, and to be faithful stewards of that which HE has entrusted us with.  

 2 Timothy 2:2 is our guideline in partnering with indigenous, born-again believers. We teach and train them to make and train disciples who will make and train disciples that will result in a disciple multiplication and church movement throughout South Sudan and Sudan. One of our ministry tools is to mobilize the body of CHRIST here at home into short-term mission teams. We train and equip these teams to teach and train others and then we deploy with them into South Sudan where we team up with our indigenous partners to accomplish the ministry work.

 In the past 3 years we have witnessed the LORD bring about an explosion in areas of South Sudan with hundreds of house churches planted and small groups started by our indigenous partners.

 The LORD has also opened the door to undisclosed areas in Sudan. Of the 164 people groups that live in Sudan 132 are unreached with the gospel of JESUS CHRIST. We recently spent time 3 weeks in a refugee camp along the border of South Sudan and Sudan with 70,000 plus refugees. Among these 70,000 refugees (90% Muslim) from the Nuba Mountains there are approximately 70 unreached people groups represented. We were able to partner with 6 churches who sent representatives for us for 2 weeks for training, including classroom and practicals, in how reach, teach, and train new believers in how to follow CHRIST and reach, teach, and train others. This is our mission to reach the unreached with the Gospel and make multiplying disciples.

 William Carey, one of the great missionaries to India and one day in response to a group of Christians and pastors who were speaking of India as a gold mine but who would venture to go there? William Carey responded, "I will go down (into the mine)...but remember you must hold the rope." In Sudan and South Sudan there is a vast field of the LORD’S harvest...I will go down but need you to hold the rope.

 Now is the time, Sudan/South Sudan is the place, and we are the chosen!!

 "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.” (John 15:16)


  • THANK YOU!!!

    Posted a week ago


    I praise the LORD for you and want to thank you for continuing faithfully support the ministry. The LORD blessed so many field staff like myself, country funds, causes, and general capacity fund of e3 Partners during the special e3 Giving Day. 

    Because of your faithfulness to the LORD, your desire to see CHRIST proclaimed to all nations, and worshipers from every tongue, tribe, and nation bowing to LORD JESUS we will continue to press forward with the Gospel to train disciples who will multiply and plant multiplying churches. I pray you understand how important you are to the ministry and that you are as much a part of the mission as those of us who are called to go...you are called to send and you are obedient to the LORD! 

    The Apostle Paul says it better than any man could ever say it:

      "Whoever will call on the name of the LORD will be saved." How then will they call on HIM in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in HIM whom they have not heard? And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News of Good Things!" (Romans 10:13-15)


    Your feet are beautiful because you bring GOOD NEWS of GOOD THINGS to those who have never heard! 

    Thank you and may GOD continue to bless you!!! Let's keep our eyes upon CHRIST JESUS and continue the struggle well in and through HIM until the whole world hears!!!
