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.”

     Our Mission is to Equip God’s people to Evangelize His world to Establish His Church!!!

      Equip: We equip the church to be on mission, to be active participants in God’s Great Commission calling. To achieve this, we train and equip Believers with simple, biblical and reproducible tools to proclaim the gospel and make disciples.

     Evangelize: Our goal is to communicate the gospel to every person on the planet. Why? Because it is God’s goal and vision for His people (Matthew 28:18-20). We do this internationally by partnering with national leaders and taking short term mission teams to train and model evangelism and discipleship. Churches in the US are also trained both for participation in short term trips but also to engage their local communities.

      Establish: Jesus said He would establish His Church and the gates of Hell would not prevail against it (Matt. 16:18). For this reason, e3 seeks to follow the patterns that Jesus modeled for us in Scripture. The best way to establish healthy, reproducing churches is to ensure the multiplication of disciples.


Ministry History
He was a lone pastor from Oklahoma with a simple, yet profound vision. In 1987, Mike Downey left the pastorate to create a small missions organization. It consisted of believers going into new cities, preaching the Gospel, and leaving behind new churches. Originally named Global Missions Fellowship (GMF), this new organization focused on making a lasting difference around the world by securing networks of local partners who lay the groundwork for short-term mission teams.
In 2005, Global Missions Fellowship became e3 Partners. Nearly 30 years later, we are serving over 50 countries, supported by a passionate team of 450 staff. Thousands of Christians are joining us on hundreds of expeditions every year to spread the Gospel and transform communities. Our mission is simple and our name says it all. We equip God’s people to evangelize His world and establish His Church. And we do this through critical partnerships.

A Little About Us:


We were married on the island of St. Thomas in 2002, and live in Houston TX. We both enjoy traveling, biking, hiking, reading, cooking and photography.  Tony enjoys college football (Go Huskers!) and both college and high school wrestling. Lisa enjoys running, history and art. We have served with e3 since 2006. Having the opportunity to see much of the world has truly changed our perspective on life and fueled our passion for seeing the proclamation of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Our desire is to see people transformed by the power of the Gospel, develop their identities in Christ (become a Christ-follower) and then be empowered to live the Christian life. While we have truly been blessed to have shared the Gospel of Jesus, make disciples and plant churches with e3 in the Middle East, South America, Asia and Africa, currently our main mission focus is Ireland as well as the US.

Our life verse:
Philippians 3:10 - My goal  is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings.

Vision

 Ireland


We are working with e3's National Director, Andrew Clements, who lives in Kilkeel, N. Ireland, to start a church planting movement in all 32 counties across all of Ireland. Our vision is to achieve this by the year 2032, or 32 by 32.  A church planting movement consists of a church that plants six churches that multiplies to the fourth generation. A church planting movement in each county would consist of 25 churches per county or 800 churches total. With the DNA of multiplication in each church, we feel by the year 2032 we could say there is NoPlaceLeft to work in Ireland. We will work with local Irish leaders to raise up laborers by holding trainings, conferences and model our vision by leading short term mission teams to engage lostness with the Gospel, make disciples and plant health multiplying churches.

Partnership
We want to invite you to be part of what God is doing in this ministry.  We need your partnership and want you to prayerfully consider becoming a partner with us in the Great Commission.
There are three specific areas where you can get involved:
Pray:  Being a prayer partner may be one of the most important aspects of our ministry.  God is the Lord of the harvest and though the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few.
Go: Join us as laborers in the harvest.  We invite you to “Go” with us on one of our mission trips.  You will be equipped with everything you need to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples.
Give: We are praying for monthly partners to help meet the financial needs of the ministry. Your partnership helps us pay for our family needs as well as ministry expenses and traveling. All donations are tax deductible.
Please prayerfully consider becoming a partner at $25, $50, $75 or $100 a month
Churches please prayerfully consider becoming a partner at $100-$500 a month
