\"\"<\/a>By November 2024 EFM had made a commitment to launch seven of the nine fields that were under exploration. Those seven fields are now moving on to the prayer and pre-launch planning phases. Meanwhile, we are currently still sending Luke 10 Exploration Teams to consider other potential fields, one of them being the Persian Gulf States. You can learn more aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A 10:2 Prayer Trip is an annual trip to the mission fields where EFM has committed to sending missionaries. Teams are asked to pray for the soil (Matthew 13:1-23) and pray for the workers (Luke 10:2). Teams are sent or guided by sponsoring regions\/yearly meetings of the new EFM fields that have been leading exploration. 10:2 Prayer Trips will target appropriate communities for prayer walking and interceding that \u201cthe Kingdom come, and God\u2019s will be done on earth as it is in heaven\u201d in those places.<\/p>\n

Trip Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lord opened doors for us among Nepali congregations. These congregations invest a major portion of their budget on transportation. Since the Lord has placed ‘Business as Mission’ in our hearts and mind, there was an immediate understanding of how we can come alongside these churches to help. We would help them start a transportation business. There are multiple benefits to the individuals and to the church.<\/p>\n

A partnership door that opened in January 2025, opened wider on this trip. We met with leaders from an evangelical church that has 120+ nations attending with over 6,000 in attendance. Approximately one thousand individuals leave this church every year. Many of them will return to their homeland. We want to come alongside this to equip men and women to plant disciple making communities when they return home. Our role would be to develop a strategy and curriculum to equip these individuals to accomplish that task.<\/p>\n
