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.”

Thank you for your interest in my ministry with e3 Partners as we share the Gospel and plant churches among the unreached of Ethiopia, India, Eritrea, and India. We also seek to train laborers in the US to spread the Gospel in our cities and abroad.

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.
