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
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. They were heartbroken to have to leave their communities abroad, but in the midst of all the changes and uncertainty, God has continued working through them in amazing ways. Each family has…
Transformation of an Idol Worshiper
Arvind* was a priest who led others in the worship of idols for many years. But at the beginning of 2020, he heard the gospel, repented, and was baptized. He immediately began to share his newfound faith, leading others to Jesus and baptizing them as well. The team praised God…
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. Then, when the pandemic hit, the whole country went on lockdown. An old friend and partner of e3, Carlos*, happened to be traveling through Venezuela at the time…
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
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…
Jan and Chuy's Staff Support Fundraiser
Our Story: Adventuring with God!
Most of you know that I (Jan) have been on staff with e3 Partners for over 20 years now and was previously widowed for 26 years. In 2011 God brought an amazing man (Chuy Martinez) into my life. We married in 2012. A year later Chuy turned in his chef hat and knife in exchange for a call to full-time missions. His heart was drawn to use his talents for the Lord. Actually, he did hold on to that knife, and since we both love cooking, we often are asked to do events for e3 Partners, our church, marriages and even funerals.
We are currently working together with a focus on Community Transformation (CT). CT is training the local churches to engage their communities, recognize their needs and develop strategies to address and provide solutions. This results in giving hope to the local people, improving their lives and connecting the church to their community.
At this time we have been overjoyed working with local refugees here in Arizona. We are so grateful and very blessed by having a wonderful team of ministry supporters who choose to invest in expanding God's Kingdom by partnering with us in our lives and ministry. We could not do the work of the Lord without your partnership. We thank you so very much from the bottom of our hearts!
Love,
Chuy & Jan
"May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, and enliven your speech." 2 Thessalonians. 2:17
