e3 Partners Impact Report - 2019

A Story from North America
Julien* is a full-time college professor at a university
in California. His wife, Nina*, is an orthodontist.
They are both believers and have a passion for
sharing their faith. They felt a calling from the Lord
to multiply disciples and churches, but they weren’t
sure how to go about doing that. Through prayer
and God’s guidance, they were introduced to our e3
team in California, and began evangelism and church
planting training.
At e3, we are focused
on growing the Kingdom
both locally and globally.
The gospel is needed
everywhere, including
America. That’s why we have
a team focused on reaching
the lost here in the states.
The work here can be hard.
The rate of receptivity to
the gospel is lower in the
U.S. than many other places
around the world. But
despite that, we’re seeing
new disciples raised up and
new churches planted all
across North America.
The e3 team taught them how to share the gospel,
how to share their own testimonies, and once
someone accepts Christ, how to begin discipleship
and gather them with other believers into churches.
Julien and Nina soaked it all in like a sponge. Their
faith in God and their passion for reaching the lost
grew as they began putting the training into practice.
Nina led one of her coworkers to Christ and is
now discipling her. Julien led several of his former
students to Christ and is discipling them as well.
Together, Nina and Julien have started a church in
their house. So both in their professional lives, and
in their homes, Julien and Nina are spreading the
gospel and discipling other believers.
And now their work is multiplying. Many from
their house church have begun sharing the gospel
with others in their sphere of influence. And one
of Julien’s former students talked about God and
the meaning of Good Friday while presenting his
Masters’ Thesis in front of several other students and
faculty members.
Julien and Nina hope to one day move abroad to
continue sharing the Good News with those who
don’t know Christ. But for now, they remain in
California doing the work that God has called them
to do during this season of their lives. It is through
believers like them that God is expanding His
Kingdom in unprecedented ways around the world.
