"Transition to e3 Partners" (August 2005)

Thank you so much for your continuing partnership in this ministry through prayer! Over the last several months we have been working on revising our "First Steps: Mobilize Your Church to Multiply Your Church" training curriculum. You may be asking why I would spend time on helping to develop training curriculum. The answer lies in our ministry's new branding . . . E3 Partners.

In the past I have worked with Global Missions Fellowship helping to ESTABLISH churches through short-term journeys, GoLeaders.net helping to EQUIP national leaders, and Evangecube Ministries to develop materials to EVANGELIZE the nations. We are currently reorganizing to maximize the partnership of all 3 divisions under the new name "E3 Partners". Together we EQUIP leaders, EVANGELIZE the lost and ESTABLISH churches. I wanted you to understand this because many of you have asked why you're getting mail and information from an organization that you've never heard of.

So here's your heads up . . . I'm now working with E3 Partners doing what I've always done, but now with greater efficiency and results. How are we getting greater results? I'm glad you asked. In 2005 E3 Partners has equipped national leaders in several East African nations using the materials that I'm helping to develop. We now have 108 trainers in those countries that are cascading that information down to thousands of churches. In Ethiopia alone we have now seen nearly 15,000 nationals equipped with First Steps and Evangecube training resulting in almost 5,000 professions of faith and 28 new churches established! Through your partnership you're making a global impact even though you and I have never even been to Ethiopia! (see the attachment for more details)

So keep praying and know that even though the name of our ministry is changing, the focus is more God-glorifying than ever. May the LORD bless you as you're a blessing to others.
