Les Smith - e3 Partners' Fundraiser
In 1998, the Lord stirred my heart for reaching the unreached–those who have never heard the Gospel. I knew that would most effectively be done through planting churches. The Lord further clarified that calling by highlighting Eritrea, and country in the Horn of Africa just north of Ethiopia.
In 2015 I went on my first church-planting expedition to Ethiopia with e3 Partners. From the moment I met the team at the airport, the Lord knit our hearts. And as I became familiar with e3 Partners' ministry philosophy and church-planting strategies I became even more convinced the was something I needed to be a part of. The trip leader asked, "Have you ever thought about doing this for the rest f your life?" I replied that I had been thinking about that for 17 years. Immediately upon my return from Ethiopia, I began the process of joining e3 Partners ministry.
I have now been working full-time with e3 since 2018. In that time, my teams have had the privilege of reaching a number of Unreached People Groups in India, and I have begun training ministers among Unreached People Groups of Eritrea. My local team also has trained a number of churches in my area with simple reproducible Gospel tools.
Your prayer and financial partnership are what enable me to fulfill the Call of God, sending me on every mission trip and training and covering me in prayer.
Thank you for being a partner with me in this amazing work among Hindus, Muslims, Orthodox, and Non-religious on three continents.
