A HANDFUL OF RICE! To see a gospel movement begin among an unreached people group is not an easy task. Small gifts from many, much like a “handful of rice” given regularly, can add up and increase our ability to encourage, resource, and connect with our global missionaries serving around the world. Funds provided through this project will enable field visits to our co-op workers, assist with leading short-term trips, provide some matching funds for special needs of our workers and give “seed” funds to help our workers connect regionally. This is the focus of Project #306.

EPC World Outreach’s ITEN (International Theological Education Network) trains leaders globally to help them train and send their own missionaries to unreached people groups, especially among Muslims. These funds will be used primarily to teach and train national partners (with a smaller portion being used to train stateside teachers how to become effective trainers of nationals). ITEN’s careful support of influential teacher-leaders, along with our supply of effective materials in native languages, makes a huge positive impact without corrupting motives, creating dependency, or diminishing self-support.

This fund will be used to promote and resource medical ministries from our churches and presbyteries to assist the ministry of EPC global workers and partner agencies. Medical teams have often opened communities to be receptive to the gospel. Some of our churches already have significant experience in executing successful medical ministry teams. Many of our churches have gifted and experienced medical personnel among their membership who have time available for short-term overseas involvement.

In response to what is being called the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, the EPC has launched an emergency relief fund to help with the Syrian refugee crisis in the Middle East and Europe. The EPC is joining with church partners in Lebanon, Turkey, and Germany to not only assist refugees with physical needs, but also to share the gospel to meet their spiritual needs. Under the direction of the EPC World Outreach Committee, donated funds will be disbursed to:

• Provide the Bible in Arabic and Kurdish on mp3 audio players to a church-planting team on the Syrian border, distributed under the direction of an EPC elder (initial cost: $30,000).
• Purchase food, clothing, medical, and discipleship materials for distribution to refugees in Lebanon under the direction of World Outreach global workers (initial cost: $50,000).
• Send EPC disciple-makers who are fluent in the native languages of the refugees (Arabic, Kurdish, Farsi, Urdu, etc.) to spend two weeks to three months assisting evangelical refugee welcome centers in Europe (initial cost: $20,000).

Click here to donate to this project

ITEN Central Asia is developing training centers for new ministry leaders in 7 key cities of post-Soviet Central Asia. Each center offers 3 modules per year, with each module consisting of 8 hours of both lecture and interactive instruction. Courses include printed materials that students can use to re-teach the material in their own settings. This project has also added church planter training to its curriculum, taking teams through a 9-month incubator program in preparation for launching a new church. The project funds are used for the development of these modules, the travel of local and outside teachers, and for translation of some resources into the local language of instruction.
