July 2024 Prayer Letter

Summer 2024 Update |How can you be involved in what God is doing through EFM?

 Exciting progress has been made on our Five-Year Goal to send 10 new missionary households from North America to launch 5 new fields by 2025! Last November, the Luke 10 National Think Tank approved six new fields. They are:

Mexico | Ecuador | NE Brazil | Greece | South Sudan | Gulf States

WHAT ARE OUR NEXT STEPS?

During the next two years we expect to launch at least 6 new fields. To accomplish this, we will focus on three goals:

  1. Lay a strong foundation of prayer – locally, regionally and
  2. Send missionaries to launch each new
  3. Establish a disciple-making ministry presence in each

In 2024, our benchmarks include:

  • Regions establish Field Prayer Team/s who meet regularly in the S. to pray for each field. (March)

“Lord Jesus, please raise up prayer teams from around the world who would faithfully pray for these new fields.”

  • EFM post Help Wanted Signs for short- and long-term missionary households for each (May)

“…the workers are few, so Lord Jesus, please cast our more workers into your fields.”

  • Regions send 10:2 Prayer Trip/s to each field to pray for the soil and for (Nov)
  • Regions commission Field Study Group to complete Pre-Launch Planning Reports for each (Nov)
  • Field Study Groups initiate conversations about missions-sending plans with any potential (Nov)
    • Multinational partnerships with international sending yearly
    • Formal or informal partnerships with organizations with whom we may collaborate within the launching
    • Inter-regional/yearly meeting collaboration within EFC-NA is encouraged to build capacity in the EFM family of churches.

Regional Strategic Considerations:

  • Missions ambassadors communicate a call for prayer teams and workers with every local
  • At least 3-4 potential missionary households have visited each (1-2 weeks or 2-12 months)
  • At least double the number of people directly engaged with pre-field development (praying, planning, giving, visiting) this year.
