Evangelism Explosion Partnership Fund
Seed money - $144,000 - is needed!
God has raised up two global ministries, uniquely equipped by God, to partner together around the world, helping fulfill the Great Commission to children. Evangelism Explosion (EE) and The Mailbox Club are united by the common goal of evangelizing and discipling children, and then sending the boys and girls out to reproduce themselves spiritually in the lives of ten friends over the coming three to five years. the ultimate goal would be to complete this cycle through four generations, building strong leaders to turn the world upside down for Christ!
Over the next three years, EE plans to provide 2,000 work-shops throughout the world, in which three representatives from 20,000 different churches will be thoroughly trained for four days on the basics of child evangelism. The 60,000 trained volunteers will then be commissioned to engage others to assist them in the all-important task of evangelizing 2 million children in a 12-week training program, using both a teacher's manual and a children's workbook produced by EE.
At the end of the 12 weeks, each of the 2 million children will be challenged to share the Gospel with ten of their friends, using a 34-page booklet entitled "Pathway to Hope." With God's enabling, we project the potential of their sharing the Gospel w0 million children, many for the first time!
TMC's role will be to provide the ongoing training and long-term follow-up materials for the 20+ million children, equipping godly mentors to disciple the children for two years, all within the context of local churches.
The Hope for Kids Discipleship Program is unique in that:
1. the vehicle to reach the children will be the evangelistic training program of EE through local churches.
2. children will be discipled for 2 years through local churches, and engaged to reach other children as witnesses for Christ!
3. this will be done generationally, over and over again, harnessing the untapped resource of children reaching children for Christ.
Pilot programs are underway now in Ghana, South africa and India with children engaged in the Hope for Kids Discipleship Program. TMC's follow-up of these children and their friends is scheduled to begin in early 2011. Assuming great success of these pilots, the partnership is scheduled to kick off in the summer of 2011.
Seed money - $144,000 - is needed to obtain tranlations of TMC materials, travel, and hiring additional staff. Please pary fo this great outreach!
Thank you for your faithful prayers and your generous gifts to help children come to know the Savior!
