Mission

This summer, a handful of young adults from EFCC will be leaving San Diego and heading to the Andhra Pradesh province of India for a three-week, short-term project in July. While there, we will be helping an Indian organization by way of teaching English to college students on campus. These students have joined church planting teams so they can go out all across India to plant churches and assist in certain needs of many different communities (social work). In the first year, the students (called Freshers) come to campus for two months to learn English (by the way, all of their classes are taught only in English), and take other Christian courses as well (i.e., Spiritual Development, Penteteuch, Discipleship, SMS- research & citation, etc). If, after four years, they pass all their classes they will graduate with a degree in either theology or in Christian Studies which will help them in their church planting ventures.

Mark 16:15-- He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

Financial Progress

We wanted to keep you updated as to the progress of our financial support... Praise God we have reached just over half our goal at 57%!  We have 49 more days until we leave... Wow that's coming up quickly!   


Thanks to the Book Cellar (17040 Avenida De Acacias  Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92091)  for their gracious generosity to hold a team fundrasier there on May 26, 2012 from 10 am to 3 pm.  The Book Cellar will give 50% of all sales that day toward us!  So if you love to read (and don't mind if you are reading gently used books) please come and and buy some books for yourself or as gifts for others, all the while helping us get to India.  We plan on having a bake sale that same day... so bring your appetites!  We'll be selling homemade treats like cookies, scones, and muffins (thank you Katie Hole for your crazy baking skills!) right outside the store.  100% of the profits from the baked goods will be applied to funding the team!  Please tell your family and friends about this opportunity.  We look forward to seeing you then and thank you for your support!  


God bless,
Team India
