Why we need financial partners.
Sue and I are missionaries with Ethnos360 serving the Lord at Ethnos360 Bible Institute (EBI). As missionaries, we are responsible to raise our own financial support to cover all of our personal and ministry expenses. By faith, we trust God to meet those needs through the Body of Christ (John 3:27).
The Bible Institute is the first phase of missionary training with Ethnos360. We are part of a greater team investing in the lives of others seeking to know Christ and serve Him in missions. Over the course of two years, our students are taught the Bible chronologically, firmly grounding them in God’s Word. This solid Biblical foundation is essential to life and ministry and will bear fruit in their lives as they learn how to have a close and dependent walk with the Lord. A close walk with the Lord is the most essential thing that missionaries need to carry out church planting work in remote parts of the world (John 15:5).
After graduating from Bible School, these missionary candidates will head to Ethnos360 Training (ETR) for another two years of training where they will learn culture and language acquisition skills. These are essential technical skills needed for church planting among unreached people groups.
Your prayer and/or financial partnership means you play a vital part in the training of future missionaries. God uses the entire body of Christ in His work of reaching the over 2,000 unreached people groups around the world who have never heard of Jesus Christ – people still living in spiritual darkness! Fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is a team effort – we need each other to fulfill the Lord’s command to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection.

If you are unable to financially partner with us, please partner with us in prayer. Hold us up in prayer as we obediently follow Christ in our training ministry. After all, without the Lord we accomplish nothing (John 15:5).
If you haven’t done so yet, listen to AWAYO’s testimony. He is thankful that missionaries came and learned his language and culture and brought the light of God’s Word into his spiritual darkness. His heart is now burdened for others, like himself, who have never heard about Jesus and have no witnesses to preach the Gospel.
We are so thankful for God’s provision in 2023. As we head into 2024, we have seen the increases in our expenses have slowed. We continue to thank you for praying for us. As of March 1, 2024, we are at 67% of our 2024 recommended support, for which we are thankful. The Lord as blessed us so much! Continue to pray for His provision for our ministry. $57 per month equals 1% of our needed support. And thank you for praying for the lost – they need Jesus.
