Whenever I share about the great work that is done by a team on the mission trip, a question normally comes up. It is usually phrased something like this, “What happens to the churches that are planted on the trip?” That is a great question, understanding the call is not to simply “evangelize the lost”, but to make disciples of all the nations. Pictured above is team member and pastor Mark Piland, from Oakhills Community Church (an Evangelical Free Church in Argyle, Texas). Standing next to him is pastor Doe from Mutongo and pastor Moses from Gangu. Just as Mark is commissioned to focus his discipleship ministry in his community in northern Texas, pastors Moses and Doe are left in their communities to help disciple the new believers and equip their churches for the work of the ministry. Every time an E3 trip ministers in an area, we do so by the invitation of a host church, whose goal it is to plant a growing, healthy church in the new community. Come join us on our next trip to either Uganda or Argentina, and see it in progress.
