The hope of the world. Accessible to everyone, everywhere.

The Church isn’t organized religion, a building, or an event. It’s the living, breathing, transforming demonstration of God’s love to the world. But today, over 40% of the world doesn’t have access.

You can help change that.

Human Trafficking

Let’s end modern-day slavery by cutting it off from the source. Venture into remote villages where human trafficking rings are convincing poverty-stricken families to sell their own children. Reveal what’s really happening and save the next generation by sharing the simple truth that every life is priceless.

 

Sports

Transform a community just by kicking around a soccer ball with children. Use your love for sports to reach new people with the Gospel.

Medical

Come alongside medical professionals offering free exams and life-changing treatment in Romania’s lush foothills. Raise awareness about public health epidemics like HIV and Malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Whether you’re a medical professional or a compassionate volunteer, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Family

Team up with the generations in impacting the nations as together families, singles, college students and churches serve in Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America. Daily share yours and God’s stories as well as hold a children’s program and distribute eyeglasses.

Orality

Over 75% of the world communicates orally through verbal storytelling, drama, and song. Conveniently, over 70% of the Bible consists of stories. On Orality expeditions, we present the Gospel through compelling biblical stories and drama to people who learn through oral methods.

Community Transformation

Empower churches to address critical social, economic, and public health issues in their communities. Help congregations develop sustainable economic plans that use local resources to improve the lives of those around them.

Refugees

Over 60 million refugees are without home or hope. Go, learn, and serve in the midst of the largest humanitarian crisis since World War II.

“My favorite part about e3 is that they are so intentional. They work hard to ensure that your trip makes a difference in people’s lives.”

Bruce Williams' Staff Support Fundraiser

Organized by Bruce Williams

Several years ago, while working in gypsy villages in Ukraine, we discovered that many of the people we were working with were repeating decisions that they had made at an earlier date.  As we began to try to understand what was happening we discovered that we were not communicating in the same way that they communicate with each other.

We came back to the United States and began to research how to reach oral learners.  We discovered that oral learners learn, store, and pass on information differently than print communicators. Through a workshop at Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary, and several key individuals within the orality movement we began to understand how to be more effective in working in oral cultures.  We also learned that oral learners are in every country, and every social and educational strata.

Since then we have had opportunities to work with oral learners, and train leaders in Ethiopia, Panama, the Middle East and even here in the United States. 

One project in Ethiopia has reproduced over 1600 Bible storying groups with some groups reproducing to the seventh generation. 

Your continuing support will allow us to continue to move into new areas, including the Middle East, Indochina, Russia, Zambia and God willing back to Ukraine.

  • This was a theology class

    Posted a week ago

    Last month we were invited to train a group of young people, for another organization, who are preparing to leave for an area hostile to the Gospel.  After the five day training, the participants asked if they could tell us what the training had meant to them.  We are always happy to hear from our participants, and determine how we can better serve them in future trainings.

    One trainee told us: "I have many things I am trying to figure out how to incorporate into our ministry. Then you come with the oral strategy, and suddenly I can see all the pieces, like islands, being connected by the orality river. This is one of the best trainings that we have had for the field. 

    Another said, "I thought we were just going to learn some stories, but you have taught a theology class through story"

    After this course I have the expectation of lots of rich times with others, one on one. I just feel the newness of the Scriptures, and the newness of my relationship with the Lord.  The Lord’s relationship with me is refreshed, and I am anticipating more of the same. 

    Many people think that teaching the Bible through story is something for children.  We know that teaching the Bible through story allows oral people to meditate on God's Word, to share with their friends and family, and allows the establishment of reproducing churches in many unreached areas of the world.

    Please keep these young people in your prayers as they are even now leaving for their respective fields of ministry.

  • Arts for a Better Future

    Posted a week ago

    The entire e3 Orality Team was privileged to participate in Arts for a Better Future conference in Ft. Worth.  This workshop will allow us to integrate the arts of our select people groups into their evangelism, discipleship, worship, leadership development and church planting activities.  Using the specific arts that speak to a people group, helps make the Gospel more understandable to those we are trying to reach.

    We are excited by the response to the Gospel that we have seen in Africa, and are looking forward to begin working in Siberia in November.

    We have recently learned that the group we were able to train in April/May have been successfully using oral methods to reach out to Syrian refugee families.  Praise God for the needs that are being met.
