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.

Susan Kelly's Staff Support Fundraiser

Organized by Susan Kelly

In 2004, while working a corporate job as a packaging designer and project manager, I was asked to write a personal mission statement. My passion was “to equip and empower others so they could be successful in what they are passionate about.” I had no idea that 10 years later, God would call me full time into the mission field to use that passion for His kingdom!



As a Strategy Coordinator in Tanzania, we help train local people to reach the unreached around them.
 
We partner with nationals to build relationships in unreached communities that are closed to or resistant to the Gospel. Using practical, Bible-based methods, we equip, educate, and empower believers to integrate evangelism and discipleship with tangibly loving their neighbors to bring transformation to the whole person and community.
 
We empower believers and communities to identify and develop appropriate strategies for solving their greatness challenges and to use sustainable resources available within the community, avoiding unhealthy dependency on outsiders. In the process, they learn about Jesus's unconditional love and genuine concern for them.

My heart, along with the e3 Tanzania team, is to reach the unreached, equip leaders and believers to go and make disciples, until all of Tanzania has an opportunity to know Jesus!

    A big THANK YOU to everyone that participated in e3 Giving Day. It was a HUGE success.
    In total, over $700,000 was donated to e3 staff, country teams and initiatives. We are overwhelmed by all who gave so we can serve the Lord.

    For me personally, there was an exceptional response and I am now within 20% of my monthly support goal! This would not have happened without your payers and generous contributions.

    Many blessings,
    Susan

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."​
