By Fall 2023, 17 teams had been sent out to explore 11 different potential new mission fields since EFM’s Five-Year Goal launched in 2021. In November 2023, EFM made a commitment to launching 6 of the 9 fields which were still under exploration. Those six fields are now moving on to pre-launch phases. Meanwhile, we are currently still sending Luke 10 Exploration Teams to consider three other potential fields: The Balkans (Eastern Europe), Tanzania, and an unreached people group in SE Asia. EFM’s discernment is based on EFM’s CAN GO criteria. See more information here.
This first trip to Southeast Asia will be focused in Cambodia and is taking place between October 24-30! The team members include Eddy Vera (FSW), Freddy Rivas (FSW), Scott and Andrea Sward (EFM Missionaries), and local leaders within the Cambodia mission.
Team leader Eddy Vera shared this about the trip: our purpose is to explore whether our current mission is ready to start a new mission to an unreached people group who are in Cambodia and other nearby security-sensitive countries or to discern what steps are needed to be prepared in the future to meet EFM’s CAN GO Criteria.
The following are ways that you can pray for this team while they are in Cambodia.
- Pray for traveling mercies for the team.
- Pray for healthy conversations to take place.
- Pray for discernment.
- Pray for the work that is currently being done in Cambodia.
The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to cast out more workers into his fields.
