Why did EFM choose this Five Year Goal?

According to the Joshua Project, there are still over 7,000 unreached people groups! This is about 3.23 billion or 41.6% of the world’s population who has not heard the Good News of the gospel.

What can you do to support EFM’s Five Year Goal?

Where are we going as we explore where we may carry out the Five Year Goal?

Here are the 10 Luke 10 Trip destinations being actively planned by 10 different planning and travel teams. We are completing exploration trips to the last destinations in early 2023 plus making plans for 2^nd trips in 2023 before November 8, 2023, when we have a National EFM Luke 10 Think Tank with hopes to identify which fields EFM will commit to launching by the end of 2025 (goal is to launch at least 5 by end of 2025).

If you or someone you know might be interested in joining a Luke 10 Exploration Trip to one of the 10 potential sites for launching a new mission field, you can apply here! For those who are seriously interested in exploring the idea of missionary service, whether that be for a couple of years or for a long-term career, EFM is calling you a “future missionary” and designing opportunities for you- you can learn about them here!

	Northern India Trip Dates: February 20-March 4, 2023 \| Led by: IYM About this Trip: India is another place that wound up on the lists of all the regional Luke 10 Think Tanks as a place of interest. Nearly all the regions/yearly meetings are helping to support various ministries in that country. Right now the focus is more on the northern part of India. What more would the Lord have us do to reach the unreached in those places? Indiana Yearly Meeting is giving some leadership to the conversation about who will organize Luke 10 Trips to go explore the answer to that question. EFC-MAYM has expressed strong interest in this opportunity. *Read the 2023 Trip Report Here!*
