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.

Until the whole world hears!

This phrase has been stirring in my heart and mind for the past several years.  Over the years with all of the mission trips that I have been on, God has tugged at my heart, to want everyone that I know and come in contact with to experience the love of Christ and to know Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

On my first mission trip with e3 Partners I was blessed to share the Gospel early one morning with a lady in her small fabric store in the front room of her house.  Little did I know, but one of her employees working on the other side of the room behind a counter was listening as we shared the hope, peace and love that Christ offers.  After sharing the good news with the owner of the shop we asked her if she would like to ask Jesus to become her Lord and Savior.  That’s when the employee came running up to us with tears in her eyes wanting to have in her heart what she had been missing her whole life.  She said that she knew something was missing in her life and there was nothing she could do to fill that void. She said when she heard the words that we were speaking there was a feeling that came over her and something was different something that she had never felt before.  The Holy Spirit was working in her life. We prayed with both the ladies that day for them to accept the love, hope and peace that Jesus has to offer.  Many people gave their life to Christ on that trip.  I see the work that is being done through e3 Partners to disciple new believers as new churches are being started all over the world.

Back in 2012 I felt God calling me to join with e3 Partners as an International Church Planter.  This position calls for me to partner with friends and family like you to raise support.  Would you pray about the possibility of supporting me through e3 Partners as I share the Gospel and plant churches internationally.
