The Eastern Edges Team

We work alongside national partners as catalysts for evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development. God is doing amazing things as we engage lostness. These peoples have never heard His name.

About Team

About The Eastern Edges Team

In the eastern highlands, people groups from many languages fill the lands that are a step back in time. The scenery is breathtaking, with rice fields, wild elephants, and jungle living. The people's smiles are inviting and friendly, yet behind these smiles are despair, loneliness, and fear. There are 3 million people in this region, and we have seen God transform lives amid this darkness. Families are reunited, and restoration is happening in this lostness. Our team of national workers seeks to penetrate all the provinces in the east and see the church rise up against corruption and desperation. Our team of long-term workers comes alongside local believers, partnering with them to reach the edges of the harvest field. You can come alongside us through prayer and giving to help us access spiritually and physically difficult-to-reach areas. Your gift will provide basic health needs like water and sanitation as well as work to help them in their time of need. We love our neighbor through these efforts, and, more importantly, we also catalyze the spread of the gospel message by the name of Jesus throughout this land. Join us!

Disciple-Making Training for Leaders

Effort Image

Your gift will enable us to work with national partners to offer multiple gatherings designed to share the joy of serving as leaders in rural communities. From fishermen to church leaders, God raises up leaders in a worn-torn country. Join us in celebrating God’s work through these leaders, glorifying His name and asking him to do even more to bring our people group to salvation.

Medical Care for the Least of These

Effort Image

When we find critically ill people who have spent all their resources to seek medical care only to end up in complete despair and hopelessness, our partnership with a Christian clinic brings hope, answers, and the first chance to hear the gospel and receive unconditional love. Help us meet the needs of these marginalized peoples.

Supporting Church Planters into the Hedges

Effort Image

We partner with local believers in spreading the gospel, planting churches, and training believers. Your gift enables us to equip our national partners for this work and send them out to areas of unreached groups not accessible to foreigners in the eastern lands that require new language and cultural learning. They love getting to the edges of lostness. Will you help them have continual access to those who need the gospel?

Sustainable Orchards

Effort Image

Your gift will provide resources for national partners and church planting into the future. This project will develop an orchard, thereby creating jobs, supporting our local partners’ work, and adding sustainability for the gospel ministry. Income from the orchard will enable our partners to press into the edges of lostness for years to come.

Oral Bible for Rural Peoples

Help us provide a digital audio Bible to the UUPGs of our area who often cannot read through the oral telling of God’s Word. This format also enables us to share worship music that brings joy and happiness among our people groups for the first time.
