Partner with Ethiopian believers to share God's mercy and grace with unreached peoples in Ethiopia. 

Melissa's Story - My life has been impacted greatly by my walk with God, I'm so excited to have this opportunity to go and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the Ethiopians. Originally, I had planned to go on the 2020 trip but due to Covid all trips were postponed. As God would have it, he gave me another opportunity but this time with my husband. Ivan and I served together doing street outreach locally here in Dallas prior to dating and one thing I love about being married to him now is that being on mission for Christ is still big on our hearts. On the trip we will be sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with the unreached peoples of the Arsi Oromo region and partnering with e3 Ministry leaders that are planting new churches.  


Ivan's Story - My first mission trip was to Nepal where we were helicoptered to the top of the mountains and trekked down for five days as we visited villages on the way down.  The people I met were the nicest most hospitable people I could ever run into without ever meeting them before.  We were there to share Jesus because we believe He is a good God. But we weren't at the point to share his name.  For now, our team provided resources and cared for their basic needs to live where they were at.  I knew then that the work to share the Lord is a long process but every bit counts.  Since then, I've had a desire to be part of that work and to be the hands of feet of God, all for the sake of his name being heard.   I've been to many trips since then, South Africa, Hait, Belize, and El Salvador, but all as a single person. I'm now married and thankful I can share this love for Christ and others with someone.  I know this is an amazing opportunity and we're taking advantage of it while we can. 

The Mission

Our mission is to see churches planted within unreached people groups in Ethiopia. We are part of a team of young adults from Watermark Community Church, and we will be spending several days doing outreach while our local Ethiopian partners focus on long-term relationship building. We also seek to share life with and learn from our American and Ethiopian brothers and sisters, and trust that God will use the trip to deepen our walk with Him just as He has on past trips.

The Need

Your help is needed in this mission! First, we need your prayers for faithfulness, wisdom, and courage. Please pray that we and our team would be bold in our witness, and would love our Ethiopian neighbors as we love ourselves.

Second, if you would like to help support us financially, we would be very grateful for your contribution. The total cost for the trip is $6,900. These funds go toward transportation, food, lodging, translators, and supplies. Would you prayerfully consider investing in this mission?
