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)

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.
Joe Crenshaw's e3 Partners Fundraiser
Fearless Love was established by my Dad in 2010 with a passionate vision to support Muslim refugees in America, in order to bring them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, he recently passed away, leaving behind a powerful ministry that I am now honored to co-lead with my mom. I am committed to fulfilling his desire for the ministry to carry on, and I invite you to support me on this journey.
At Fearless Love, my Dad's initial focus was to provide essential resources, including food, housing, clothing, and job assistance, to Muslim refugees who are striving to provide for their families. He believed in demonstrating the love of Christ through practical acts of compassion, meeting their immediate needs while also fostering long-term growth and stability. These encounters set the tone for evangelism opportunities, salvation, and long-term discipleship.
Building upon my Dad's burden, we are also extending our ministry to university campuses. By engaging with students through evangelism and outreach events, providing mentorship, and establishing campus discipleship groups, we seek to ignite a passion for Christ and encourage students to grow in their faith.
By the end of 2024, we aim to disciple enough leaders in each of these communities to plant five churches within the DFW refugee communities, two churches in their home nations, and four churches on university campuses in DFW. Through these efforts, we hope to create lasting spiritual impact and transform lives for eternity.
To fulfill this mission, I will need your financial support. Financial contributions are vital in order for me to commit to these efforts full-time. I am asking for recurring monthly donation partners, as well as one-time gifts in order for me to commit to continuing Dad's ministry and supporting my mom with the help that she needs.
Will you partner with me in honoring my Dad's legacy, and sharing the gospel until there is #noplaceleft?
