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.

I'm now in my 10th year of being an Oral Strategy Communication Specialist with e3 Partners Ministry!  I also have served as a trainer for Bible story projects with StoryRunners, a ministry of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ). I have completed 6 of these one month long trainings!          

We continue to press on towards our goal, a world where the body of Christ and its life-saving message are available to every person - in a culturally appropriate way whether they are literate or illiterate. 

You can partner with me at e3 Partners Ministry to help develop culturally appropriate oral Bible stories in the languages of unreached people around the world to accelerate evangelism, discipleship, leader development and church planting among them.

Our Oral Strategy Project a 18 month project to develop 42+ Bible stories in peoples' language and cultural expression which will provide the scripture needed to best impact these people groups and result in many multiplying churches.

We also offer week-long trainings in Plano, Texas and throughout the United States for those churches/organizations who see the necessity of using Bible stories to reach the unreached in their own communities. With the number of refugees who are now calling the United States as their home, Bible stories are a great way to develop relationships with them in a way that they understand and appreciate which leads to spiritual conversations and commitment.


Every gift makes an impact for the Kingdom of God!

I am so grateful for you and your support. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email at jjbalazs@e3partners.org or give me a call at 214-425-0941

Until the whole world hears!"

Over 75% of the world communicates orally through verbal storytelling, drama, and song. Conveniently, over 70% of the Bible consists of stories. Jolene helps train international ministry leaders in how to use chronological Bible stories to evangelize, disciple, train leaders and plant churches.

Besides international trips to train people in Bible storying, she helps lead national trainings for churches and ministries who are interested in using this strategy in their communities and ministries.

Previously Jolene was on staff with Global Aid Network (GAiN), the humanitarian arm of Cru, for 9 years.  She helped lead teams of volunteers to many countries to distribute aid and share the gospel in orphanages, prisons, hospitals and other facilities.

Since 1996, she has gone to 15+ countries sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and now training believers to share Bible stories in their homes, villages and communities. 

Funds raised through this account go towards expenses to train the internationals as well as Jolene's ministry/travel expenses for future trips.
