Live Second Groups

Change has come. The coronavirus situation has forced us out of our normal routines. You can’t go to your church buildings on Sunday mornings. You can’t meet at the local coffee shop for a Bible study. So what do you do? How can you maintain your Christian communities in these uncertain times? We can help!

e3 has created an online Christian community strategy that we refer to as “Live Second Groups”. These groups can help you maintain and even further your Christian community. We provide you with content and coaching to continue growing as Christ followers in the midst of the current coronavirus situation. And it’s all FREE! Continue learning from the Bible, developing strong spiritual disciplines, and remaining attentive to the needs of others around you.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

How it Works

e3 utilizes virtual meeting technology and an obedience-based discussion and discovery Bible study known as “3/3rds” to establish Live Second Groups. You can learn more about 3/3rds here. If you are unsure of how to set up online meetings or how to lead a Bible study using the 3/3rds pattern, no problem! We’ll walk you through how to do everything. We have dozens of coaches ready and eager to serve you.

WHAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A LIVE SECOND GROUP?

What You’ll Accomplish

God is using Live Second Groups to equip the church, to deepen our relationship with Him, and to engage more people who are searching for hope and peace in their lives.

When you start or join a Live Second Group, we provide you with a “Live Second Game Plan” that walks you through the 3/3rds Bible study pattern and 10 weeks of Bible stories to study. We also provide you with a FREE coordinator who will model what it looks like to organize and lead a Live Second Group and assist you with anything else you may need.

WHO SHOULD BE A PART OF A LIVE SECOND GROUP?

Who to Invite

Group leaders can start with friends and family. If you already have small groups from church, you can start there too! Then invite others from your “Oikos” as well. Think of people in your sphere of influence — those close to you who are far from God. People are searching for hope right now. They’re more open to the gospel. Inviting them to your Live Second Group could be a great way to share the love and hope of Christ with them!

WHAT WILL BE LEARNED?

What You’ll Learn

As mentioned above, the Live Second Game Plan walks you through 10 weeks of Bible stories using the 3/3rds Bible study pattern. Throughout the course of the 10 weeks, you’ll learn about many of the commands Christ gives us as His followers, and simple tools to help you with those commands. You’ll grow in obedience and boldness for Christ and in confidence to share the Good News with others. Some of the tools you’ll learn include:

15-Second Testimony

A simple way to share your testimony with someone in just 15-seconds.

3-Circles Gospel Sharing Tool

A method of sharing the gospel that is both easy to learn and understand.

Church Circle

The functions of a healthy church as is shown to us in Acts 2:36-47.

You can learn more about these tools and find lots of other helpful tools and resources all for FREE on our training page.

WHO IS e3 PARTNERS?

e3 Partners

Equip God’s People. Evangelize His World. Establish His Church.

e3 Partners exists to make the local church accessible to every person, everywhere. We started in 1987 with short-term trips to Mexico, and over the last 32 years, God’s grown the ministry, expanded our vision, and used our teams to do some incredible things for His Kingdom. Last year alone, we helped plant over 60,000 new churches!

We want to help you reach those far from God and build up the body of Christ, because like you, we have a burden for the lost—for reaching them with the hope and love of Jesus. We believe Jesus is the hope of the world and this hope can be found in the expression of the gospel through the local church. You can learn more about our ministry here.

“The online training has helped during the COVID-19 crisis. Our weekly training has provided clear vision for how we can continue to make disciples even through the temporary suspension of church meetings. I can’t wait to see where the Lord leads us the rest of this year.”

Marsha Crenshaw's Fundraiser

PLEASE PARTNER WITH US BY GIVING FINANCIALLY SO WE CAN REACH OTHERS FOR THE KINGDOM! 


Jay Riley Crenshaw and I began this ministry 10 years ago this September.  Wow! And while my sweet Jay is now with Jesus, completely healed and where he longed to be, this Muslim Outreach Ministry has begun to explode.

Jay's Original Vision

Jay's vision that God gave him in the beginning was that this Ministry would be like that of a Hot Air Balloon.  God revealed to Jay in this vision that it would start off slowly, just as a Hot Air Balloon does, but then when it hits the jet stream, it would take off full speed ahead.  This is exactly what this Ministry is currently doing....going full speed ahead!

You Are All Vital to This Ministry

We have now seen hundreds, if not thousands come to Christ, and we could not have done this without our faithful supporters, both our prayer warriors and our financial partners.  And I want to personally thank you SO MUCH for your support these last 10 years.

The Next 10 Years!

Our youngest son, Joe Riley Crenshaw has joined e3/Fearless love! What a blessing that is to me, and I know his dad is looking down with joy!  

We/I need financial supporters more than ever before with what God is doing.  I need to be able to go full speed ahead as well.  I am in awe at what the Lord is doing and want to be able to share it with more people who can catch the vision and have ownership of this Ministry as well. 

This fundraiser provides for my salary, benefits and some expenses.  While all of Jay and my current supporters will remain my supporters, I am still only about 50% fully funded.  

By donating, you are joining me in sharing the love of Jesus in Dallas, the Middle East, Central Asia and Canada (can't wait to share about this), training up leaders, and planting churches in these people groups communities.

 Won't you prayerfully consider partnering with me through your financial support to honor my sweet Jay and to glorify God? Many can't "go" but they can give and be a part of a powerful Ministry team!

To make disciples and establish Christ's church among Muslims - we need God and we need you.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matt 28:19-20

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE, PRAYERS AND SUPPORT FOR THIS MINISTRY!

I am so eternally grateful for each of you!


Until the whole world hears! (click)
