<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As communities around the world are trying to figure out how to deal with Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the staff at Mission E4 are working hard to respond to the needs of the thousands of families we serve locally and around the world. As information and regulation is changing day-to-day, references in this blog are as of April 5, 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Massachusetts is still one of the highest states with the number of confirmed cases. As many of you know, this is the state that Mission E4 has been running its’ local outreach and programs with youth since 2005. We have adjusted the way we function and serve our community during this crisis. Following suit with local schools, we have not been meeting at our physical sites since the second week of March. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The children, youth, and families that we serve almost immediately began to feel the effects of this. Many of the students in our programs rely heavily on the food they receive in school and at our after-school initiatives. Most of our program participants live in single guardian households. For the parents with employment, most do not have prearranged childcare. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Local schools, along with non-profits like Mission E4 have quickly begun to work collaboratively to fill the gap in essential services. At both Mission E4 locations in Massachusetts, we have established food distribution programs. We are intentionally providing alternate times than are offered by other programs so that local families in need have greater access to nutritious meals from morning to evening and on the weekends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In order to provide the current level of support to the families we serve in Massachusetts, we are estimating that our immediate budgetary needs will increase by $1,000 per week, for a minimum of 10 weeks. This is double the normal food budget for our weekly youth programs. This could increase more if the crisis escalates. If you could assist us with any additional support towards the $10,000 needed, it would be greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The economic crisis in Haiti is worse than we have ever witnessed. The United Nations (OCHA) reports that the number of Haitians dealing with food insecurity rose from 2.6 million in 2018 to 3.7 million in 2019. They were projecting the numbers to rise to 4.2 million by March, with more than 1.2 million at <b><i>“emergency levels” of food insecurity</i></b>. Children are literally starving to death. Sickness from malnutrition is at an all-time high. Current statistics show that 1 in 5 children in Haiti are malnourished, 1 in 10 are acutely malnourished and 1 in 14 will die before reaching the age of 5. Of the estimated 3,360,000 children under the age of 14 in Haiti, <b><i>about 686,000 children are severely malnourished</i></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We have been building schools, feeding, educating, and providing medical care to children as fast as we are able to grow sustainably. With more than 3000 children in our school programs and almost 300 Haitian employees, it has been increasingly difficult to keep our “heads above water” in the face of a 17%+ inflation rate. We can’t realistically raise sponsorship rates to match the rate of inflation each year. So, each year, the purchasing power of our operating funds decreases in the midst of an economic disaster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Now – enter the global pandemic of the Coronavirus. As of April 5<sup>th</sup> (12:26pm), there have only been 21 cases so far. We do not know at this point exactly how and where it will spread. However, as our economy struggles in the US, the economy in Haiti is affected 1000 times harder because of their reliance upon outside aid. As people here in the USA rightfully discuss concerns about how our hospitals could be pushed beyond capacity, should the virus spread quickly; how much more will the medical community in Haiti be unable to meet the demand? There is a saying amongst the Haitian people that says, “<i>Le Etazini gin tet femal, Ayati manke mouri!</i>” – “<i>When the USA has a headache, Haiti is on its deathbed!</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">With so many sick from malnutrition, families with no health care nor access to even basic medicines (like Tylenol or cough syrup), how will this nation survive another disease outbreak? The Haitian people are resilient, and I know they will fight to survive unlike any other people I have met, but they desperately need our help! We are thrilled to see the steps that Haiti’s public health minister is taking in preparing the country for COVID-19, but each organization in the country needs to do our part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The following is an outline for the immediate action plan Mission E4 intends to implement and the funding we will need to be able to pull this off.

We ask in this great moment of need that you would also remember the Haitian people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our schools in South Asia were shut down by government order until March 31<sup>st</sup>. During the month of March, we moved all classes to an online platform. We dropped from 300 students at one of our locations down to about 50. Internet is “spotty” in some of the rural areas and made this switch impossible for many students. It is likely that this change will need to continue into June. We are in regular communication with our leaders there to determine how to best help them in this time of need. Please pray for our work in South Asia during these trying times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">As of this article, Albania has reported 361 cases. The government has taken a VERY strong position on closing things down. Kosovo is caught up in political turmoil in the midst of trying to figure out how to deal with the Coronavirus. We are in touch with our partners in these countries. Scott and Tanya Long we supposed to be traveling there in May. This trip will have to be delayed for a couple of months. In the meantime, we are committed to supporting our partners during these difficult days ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This new parcel gave us street access to the upper level of the property, providing the means for us to make the entire facility ADA compliant. Additionally, the most recent purchase came with a three-bedroom home that we will renovate for classrooms and a clothing ministry. The first step of this building phase is to construct a three-story, covered staircase that will connect the lower and upper levels of the property. Then, we will add wheelchair ramps to both houses, widen the entrances and upgrade the bathrooms to ADA standards. <b><i>The total cost of phase 2 is $175,000.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>

More than a third of the 700 students attending this facility come from further than five miles away. We have had a few small, used vehicles over the past few years attempting to provide transportation for this group. However, these vehicles are no longer functioning, and we have outgrown the capacity for this approach. Mission E4 needs to purchase a school bus in 2020 to alleviate the burden felt by these students and their families. </span><b><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Our estimated cost for this vehicle is $27,000.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Thanks to so many donors and time put in by our fall and winter mission teams, we have made a lot of progress on our new Leogane elementary school. The permanent foundation for all of the classrooms is in. The school director’s office has been built in cement and secured with the metal door and windows. The new school kitchen is complete with Haitian style cook tops to make the food for the elementary school and high school. The temporary classrooms have all been built in wood and tin, which will last 5-7 years in this condition (if needed). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We work to help our program participants to develop job skills and provide the type of training that will allow them to gain full-time employment. Long-term, this will help to increase the median household income in this zip code (currently one of the lowest in the state) and allow a higher percentage of our participants to become future home owners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thoughts From Haiti</h2>
<div>
I love leading teams to Haiti for so many reasons. One of my favorite parts about the first couple days a team is here is that those who have been on previous trips get to see the progress that was made since the last time they were here. One of the team members with us this week had his last trip in 2010. It is so exciting hearing his perspective on everything that Mission E4 has accomplished over the last eight years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another one of my highlights from the first couple days of any team is that those who sponsor children get to meet them! The sponsorship relationship is so meaningful to the Haitian children; and it is so exciting for them to meet the person who has been helping to put them through school, provide consistent food, and more. It is also special for the sponsors, both who get to meet their child for the first time, and for those who haven't seen them in a while. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was so excited today to be able to introduce a sponsor to his child that he and his wife and been sponsoring for the last six years! Here are a few pictures from these special visits today:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Child sponsorship, at its
core, is about getting involved very directly in the lives of the most
vulnerable part of impoverished populations. By providing education, food,
clean water, and access to health care; we are holistically dealing with
critical components of early childhood development. The macro difference that
child sponsorship makes in economically depressed areas can best seen over
generations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Employment:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">
Mission E4 is one of thousands of organizations in Haiti that is providing
employment to the masses through sponsorship programs. This has become vitally
important to a country like Haiti, with such an exceptionally high unemployment
rate. Mission E4 currently employs over 140 full-time people in Haiti<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Education</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">:
The Haitian government cannot provide access to education without outside aid. Prior
to the earthquake, Haiti had 15,200 elementary schools, of which <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">90%
are non-public and run by communities, NGOs and religious organizations</i></b>.
(Nearly 4200 schools were destroyed in the earthquake). In 2010 about a third
of the population of school-aged children were attending a Christian school. We
are still fighting to improve the national averages of successful transition
into higher grades. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Mission E4 has maintained a 50-60% success rate
(over the past seven years), of students moving from elementary school into
high school. We are just now beginning to work with students transitioning into
University.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Gabe
and I arrived in New York around noon on Thursday October 4<sup>th</sup> after
our short three-and-a-half-hour drive. We knew that we had a long trip ahead of
us and in many ways we were thankful to arrive at the airport early in the day.
After a small lunch, we spent some time together, studying and discussing some
passages of scripture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">One
thing we looked forward to on our travels was the time we would spend together.
Looking in scripture, we find the pattern of discipleship to be one of going
out together into the world. It was a time of teaching, training, and
experiencing the things of God as in the case of Paul and Timothy. This had an
even greater significance to us, knowing we would be coming so close to the
part of the world where these early saints had traveled on their early
missionary journeys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After
hours of waiting, we boarded a nine-hour flight out of New York to Italy. The
hours ticked away as we tried to acclimate ourselves to the new time schedule
we were flying into, which was to be six hours ahead. We stayed awake when we
felt like sleeping and slept when it felt like the middle of the day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We
arrived in Italy and spent our twelve- hour layover on Friday mostly in a
topical study of the spiritual gifts Christ gave to the church. After what
seemed an eternity, it was finally time to board the plane for Tirana, Albania.
Thank the Lord, this flight was a mere two-hour flight and we made it to Tirana
around midnight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Praise
God that our luggage arrived as it should (because it rarely ever does). We
were at the Stephen Center, attempting to sleep within the hour. I stress “attempting
to sleep” as we were excited to finally arrive in Albania, and to our “internal
clocks” it seemed to be around 8:00pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
Stephen Center is run by the ministry we partner with for our work in Albania
and Kosova. The founders, Chris and Laura Dakas, have been missionaries to the
Balkans for over fifteen years now.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday,
we awoke, had breakfast and then began to arrange for our transportation to
Prishtina, Kosova. We changed money from US to Euro, bought plane tickets, and
spent some time brushing up on the language. After breakfast on Sunday, we were
on our way once again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Pastor
Skender met us at the airport in Prishtina and had just an hour to the town of
Gjakova. We spent a precious four days with Skender and his family. We made
this trip to check on the progress of our school with the gypsy children in
Colony Gjakova (a romantic name given to a bunch of run-down buildings along
the city dump).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After
checking the bookkeeping, school attendance records and such, we had to begin
the more difficult work. Our school has been under attack from a radical
Islamist group that has rooted itself in the Colony. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Our
school director has been under constant threat from this group for continuing
our Christian school in the community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">They
have threatened to beat him if he continues to come, and they have already
placed glass on the road to pop the tires of the bicycle he rides to school
each day. However, with the strength of the Lord, he has persevered in teaching
these children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Skender
and I scheduled a meeting with the new leader of this gypsy community, but he
did not show up. We met with the manager of the building we use for our school.
He is still very supportive of our program and gave us some strategies to gain
more political strength in the Colony. We know however that we “do not wrestle
against flesh and blood” and we continue to pray that the Lord will be
victorious in our effort to help these children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">During
our time on Kosova we had a chance to visit with a few local families,
participate in a few English classes (sharing some testimonies) and, most of
all, bring encouragement to Skender and Blendi (our school director). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Our
time seemed so fast in Gjakova and once again we were back on a plane to
Tirana. Gabe and I had a chance to do some writing and study for another couple
of days. It’s always difficult keeping up with the rest of our mission work
while traveling. So, with limited internet and phone communication, we did our
best to respond to people back home and to prepare for our upcoming trip to
Haiti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
can’t even begin to express how excited I was the day Tanya and Tia were to
join us. Gabe and I borrowed one of the vans from the guest house. We arrived
at the airport around 11:30am. They were to arrive around 1:30pm. I tend to be
“insanely” early to things. It’s probably all the overseas experiences of
flooding, vehicle problems, road blocks, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Well,
1:30 came and the plane landed. Gabe and I waited for each and every passenger
to exit, for what became a nerve wracking hour and – no Tanya and no Tia!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Now,
I kicked into overdrive, knowing that they were most likely stuck somewhere in
Italy. We had no way to reach each other. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
checked in at the airline desk of Alitalia, where the attendant spoke very few
words in English. I was able to discern that there had been a major delay
leaving New York (almost three hours) and that they had missed their connection
in Rome, Italy to come to Albania.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
plan was for them to arrive in Rome, then be sent on another plane to Milan,
and finally to arrive in Albania just before midnight. Gabe and I prayed, and
then we went back to have lunch together at the Stephen Center. I must say that
I was very disappointed and quite concerned for how Tanya and Tia were doing. I
returned to the airport around 4:00pm and buckled down for the long wait.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Thankfully,
they did arrive on the midnight flight and once again, to my delight, their
luggage made it! I was so happy not only to see them, but to hear that their
day had gone well. The Lord gave them peace as they traveled, and they knew
people had been praying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We
spent a day together recouping from all the travel and catching up on the
affairs back home. Gabe had not been feeling well for about three or four days
by this time, so he needed a lot of extra sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sunday
morning, we took the seven-hour trip from Tirana to Saranda. The drive included
a breathtaking ride over some of the mountains in southern Albania. We arrived
about a half-hour before the evening church service started, so we were able to
attend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
shared a few words of encouragement with the congregation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After
the church service, we were able to have a meeting with the church leaders to
discuss our plans for the week. We laid out a schedule of Bible studies,
children’s classes, film presentations, and our clothing distribution for our
school children. We unloaded the van and went to bed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Finally,
some of the real fun began as Monday we started our work in the gypsy village
of Chuka. The local church in Saranda, which itself is still in the early
stages of growth, began an outreach to this small community about four years
ago. A young teenage girl from the church was the first to preach the Gospel to
these impoverished and outcast people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Now,
one of the ladies from the church goes to this village every week and holds
church with these people. Two years ago, during our first visit to this
community, we put on some dramas with some of the teens from the Saranda
church. We were honored to lead one of the first gypsy men to the Lord during
this event.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Monday,
we heard testimonies from some of the children about their walk with the Lord
and how God had changed the ways their families dealt with each other. One boy,
Jorgo, told how, four years earlier, when the “church people” first came, they
all thought it was a game. After some time, he realized that this Jesus they
were speaking of was real. He became a “follower of Christ” and is quick to
share his faith with others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Before
distributing the clothing to our school children, we showed the first part of
the “Jesus Film for Children.” The battery power on my laptop limited the
amount of time I could show the movie, so it had to be broken into two parts
for them. You could tell that the children (and the parents) were very
thoughtful after what they had seen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We
returned on Tuesday to meet with a group of mothers from the Chuka community to
get some new ideas for our school. As we came down the road we were greeted by
the children jumping up and down and screaming with excitement. Any shyness
from the first day had disappeared. After having the meeting (with all the
children looking in the windows) we were able to invite everyone in to show the
second half of the movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
children and mothers gathered around my laptop hanging on every word and every
image that rolled across the screen. They saw the death and resurrection of
Jesus come to life with new meaning and understanding. They listened as a group
of young people in the film invited them to start a personal relationship with
Jesus as their Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As
soon as the film finished, I moved to the front with our translator Diti.
Together we asked if there was anyone that wanted to start their walk with the
Lord Jesus. Immediately, one the boys jumped up and came to the front. This was
the same boy I had talked to about the Lord on our last trip, and, at that time,
he did not feel ready. His name is Kristo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">After
a moment, with Kristo at the front alone, I asked if there were any others. A
woman came forward, the wife of the gypsy man we had led to the Lord two years
earlier. I had Diti and one of the other church leaders (Bedro) pray for these
two new disciples.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">If
nothing else was accomplished on this mission trip, we can say with confidence
that we came for Kristo and this gypsy woman. To what extent will God move upon
our hearts to travel from one place to another for the sole purpose of reaching
one lost soul? We say this, but do we believe it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Was
it worth the thousands of dollars we had to raise, the days of travel, the loss
of income from work, the sickness, and the uncomfortable conditions around us
for the sake of the eternal destiny of these two individuals?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What
if it was just Kristo? Would God really have the whole purpose of our trip be
about reaching Kristo? I believe He would. I believe that God would move heaven
and earth to reach any one of us. As a matter of fact, I believe that He would
have sent His Son Jesus to die upon the cross if it were just for Kristo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
want to take this opportunity to share a few things with you about the
importance of short-term mission trips. Tanya and I have now led over 70 teams
overseas with more than 2000 people. We have probably heard every excuse for
people not to come on short- term mission trips. I want to deal with just a few
of these “reasons,” as well as share a myriad of benefits we have seen from
these experiences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
first thing is what I spent time sharing above. We all know the “Great
Commission” from Matthew 28:19-20, to go into all the world and make disciples.
Yet, we find it within our capacity to reason this command away as it pertains
to us personally. We may say, “Yes, some of us are called to go into ‘all the
world’, but I am called to stay,” or we may not feel qualified. We could also
say, “There are lost people all around us in our own country that need to be
reached.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I
will answer the second question by asking a one; “When was the last time that
you shared the Gospel with a lost person from your community?” Some of you may
be able to look at times you have shared during the past few days, while others
may just have to look at me sheepishly and answer, “Well, I guess I haven’t got
around to it here, either.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In
answer to the first, I am not going to say that everyone is called to the
“foreign mission field.” However, it seems odd to me that only a few Christians
feel called to go abroad, covering vast amounts of territory, while at home I
attend a church with hundreds of believers together in one place. Are there
that many “called” to stay and so few “called” to go? Or are there not enough
of us earnestly seeking God as to His will for our lives?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In
Saranda, Albania, there was a missionary woman for many, many years by herself.
She led many to the Lord. The church is still young. She was called by the Lord
to move on and there is no one yet at a point to pastor this church. The number
of Christians in this community is so small it probably does not reach 1%. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">One
of the benefits to short-term missions is to make Christians aware of the needs
in the Body of Christ around the world. These trips instill in many a passion
for long-term missions. I know this sounds scary – it is! It is scary to humbly
come before the Lord and tell Him that you will go wherever He asks, because He
may ask you to pick up, leave your home and go somewhere. But, there is no
better place than for you to find the center of God’s will for your life. Can
you imagine standing before the throne of God and finding out that you missed His
plan for your life?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Even
if the Lord does call you to stay at home, our experience has shown us that
those who come on short-term mission trips are more likely to evangelize in
their own communities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Another
popular reason not to go on trips is that the money spent on a mission trip
could be better used meeting the needs of the people in that country. There are
a number of problems with this one:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1)<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Most
people with this philosophy don’t send in to missions what a trip would have
cost them. We don’t receive too many $1500 “in lieu of our mission trip”
donations. I won’t say this never happens. In most cases when we have received
this type of donation, it is from someone who has been on a trip. However, we
have found that people that have come on mission trips with us, or have heard
directly from someone that has come, typically become the largest donors. They
have seen things with their own eyes and their heart is broken for the people
of that land.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There
can also be arrogance to this statement, in thinking that a mission trip is
just about what “we” have to bring to “them”. This is one of the biggest
misunderstandings for those that have never been on one of these trips. Our
brothers and sisters overseas have a great number of things that they teach us.
Our relationship with some of these individuals challenges us and continues to
increase our faith and obedience to the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">What
we have to offer with the gifts the Lord has given us goes well beyond the
financial. We should not elevate the dollar above the spiritual or even the
emotional. Our brothers and sisters overseas long to be connected with the body
of Christ. Our visits bring them encouragement to persevere through difficult
times. What is money going to do for the teenagers we work with in Kosova, some
of which get beat by their parents for believing in Christ? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mission Statement</div>
<br />
Hi All,<br />
<br />
I thought we'd take this very first post to talk about Mission E4 in general and give some definition to our Mission Statement of "Leading Effective Response to a World in Need."<br />
<br />
We focus on <b>Leading</b> by "doing" and calling other to "follow-suit."<br />
<br />
<b>Effective Response </b>is sustainable and holistic; ultimately focusing on the work of development, rather than long-term relief or ongoing rehabilitation.<br />
<br />
Poverty (<b>a World in Need</b>) is seen as any area where their is an absence of peace in the World, and not simply a lack of material possessions. This would include poverty of spirit, poverty of physical health, poverty of mental health, poverty in relationships, and material poverty.<br />
<br />
