A Peaceful House
On a recent trip to Latin America, Jess* and George* spent the whole first day searching for a “house of peace”. The house of peace search was something they’d learned during their pre-trip training. It comes from Luke 10:1-9. “After this the Lord appointed...

Eagerness – A Story from Peru
The God we serve is faithful. When we trust in His Almighty power, we get a front row seat to the good He can do through people like you and me. I witnessed this recently on an e3 trip to Peru. There were many people on our trip who welcomed us into their homes, but...
Open Arms
God chases after us. Every time I’ve turned away from Him, He’s used people or situations in my life to help me turn back around, and when I do, He welcomes me back with open arms. Recently on an e3 trip to Cuba, I witnessed this — the chase, the turnaround, and the...

Kevin’s Journey – Part 3
Diego noticed me when I was about 30 feet from his taxi. I asked him if he spoke English, and he nodded his head yes. “Hi, I’m Luis*,” I said. “I’m Diego*,” he responded. I began making small talk with him, telling him where I was from and how much I was enjoying my...
Elissa Romines' e3 Partners Staff Support
When we consider people being homeless, we easily understand their need for 1) shelter and 2) for programs and services to help them get out of homelessness. What we often don't consider is that homelessness includes the loss of a support system.
Our work is focused on that third piece of the puzzle. We show up and want to support people for the long haul, no matter what that looks like. Sometimes it means working for two months to get someone into rehab because they slip through the cracks. Sometimes it means going to the doctor's office across the City with someone who is going blind.
In essence, we have a consistent presence in a small neighborhood in South Dallas, in hope that we will be invited to enter people's lives. Just like us, everyone's stories and needs are different. Sometimes the biggest need is physical; sometimes emotional; sometimes mental. Our end goal is that, as we work with different people who have different kinds of needs, we might all experience Jesus and his love in new ways.
