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."

Team 2013!

Hi everybody!

We are so grateful to be sharing that some of The Gathering attendees (the Young Adults group at EFCC) are making a return trip to India!  Two (Risa and Tiffany) of the five that went last year will be returning and we have three new team members (Chris, Julio, and Karina) this year!  Our three newbies don't have any international travelling experience and that brings us to our first prayer request:

** Please pray that they are able to receive their passports in a quick and timely manner & that there would be no delays, so that we can send them out together to get our Visas (and not be rushed like last year).

As soon as we take our team pic, it will be posted here and we'll continue to update our supporters (that's you) with prayer requests and praises!

We also have a link for anyone that would like to commit to financial and/or prayerful support of the team and it's members:

We thank you in advance for taking the time to be connected with us and to be a part of our desire to follow after the Lord!  Without your willingness to pray and donate to this calling that God has set before us, it would be nearly impossible to "care for the least of these."
 "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"-Matthew 25:40
God bless,
Tiffany
