Oriya People Group
THE ORIYA PEOPLE GROUP HAS A POPULATION OF ABOUT 36,500. They live in East India, within the state of Odisha. Their primary religion is Hinduism, and the majority of them have never heard the message of the gospel. Our team has begun raising up new disciples among them. We’ve trained 5 new believers from the Mali, and with your help and the power of the Holy Spirit, those 5 can multiply exponentially! These 5 new disciples are eager to spread the gospel among the rest of their people group, and our team is eager to come alongside them as they work towards raising up disciples, churches and Christian leaders, until there are worshiping groups in all the villages, communities and localities of the Oriya people.
What’s it going to take?
There are Christian leaders being raised up among the Oriya people ready to engage the rest of their community with the message of the Gospel, but they need resources for travel, trainings, Bibles and other materials.
Total Cost = $36,000 ($12,000/yr for 3 years)
*If you’d like more information or have any questions about adopting the Oriya people group, you can contact us at 214.440.1101 or by email at help@e3partners.org.
Our Strategy
e3 Partners uses a strategy known as 4 Fields. It follows the examples set by Jesus and Paul throughout the Gospels and Acts of sharing the gospel, discipling believers, starting churches and building up more leaders.
Training Roll-Out
There are 3 phases we go through to spread the gospel throughout an unreached people group (UPG).
- Phase 1: Gospel Conversations Training and Harvesting
- Phase 2: 4 Fields Intensive Trainings
- Phase 3: Mid-Levels, Foundations (Pastoral Training) and Confessions (Doctrine Training)
Reports
e3 will provide you with quarterly reports of the work happening among the people group you choose to adopt. These reports will include data of things like number of gospel presentations, number of churches planted, etc. as well as specific stories of the work God is doing among the people group you’ve adopted.
Andrew & Sarah Fish's Partner Team
All around us are people that the Bible calls “lost” — those living (and dying) far from God. Many of them are in far away places where there are few, if any, followers of Jesus; however, many also live in our local communities. Current research shows that about 2/3 of our friends, family, and neighbors wouldn’t come to church even if invited. Whether near or far, lost people are on God’s heart — and, by God’s grace, we’ve been given a part in His plan to reach them.
We desire that everyone in our community, and beyond, has an authentic invitation to hear about Jesus and become His disciple. In churches, we see believers who have a desire to share about Jesus with others who still need to be equipped and empowered to do so. We believe that people currently far from God can become disciples who will disciple others. Disciples who make disciples, over and over across multiple spiritual generations, is the Biblical solution for our lost world.
That’s why we’re excited about “No Place Left,” a global network we’ve been working with locally since 2021. Inspired by Paul’s words in Romans 15:8-24, we’re trusting God that one day there will literally be no place left in our community, our state, and our world where the name of Jesus hasn’t been heard.
