CO-OP SUPPORT AND FIELD DEVELOPMENT
Fund ID: 306

Over half of all EPC World Outreach missionaries serve on the field through a cooperative (Co-op) agreement with another mission agency. These EPC WO Co-op workers are serving in difficult locations. We desire to come behind them with more of the resources currently provided for our Engage 2025 workers.  This funding will enable us to:

• Improve connections of EPC Co-op workers with their local churches and Presbyteries. Our desire is to help them, and their mission endeavors be known; keeping them covered in prayer and encouragement in proactive ways.
• Resource them with mobilization opportunities. This could be for helping find new team personnel, helping them plan a strategic short-term mission trip, or bring in trainer resources to help their church planting efforts among the people group they are reaching for Christ.
• Visit them on the field. To travel over to see them  as covenant family to them. To arrive with encouragement for them as they live under difficult situations.

Also with this funding, we will be able to:

• Mentor long-term mission applicants in discerning what field and/or team they may join in an effort to see a church planting movement begun or grow.
• Assist the EPC churches and presbyteries in identifying and developing new mission fields; places where the three billion unreached people groups have yet to hear the good news about Jesus.
