sharing hope around the world for 55 yearsEVANGELISM EXPLOSION INTERNATIONAL

2017 Annual Report

Center for World Mission found that in 100 A.D., there was one Christian for every 360 people on earth. In 1900, one Christian existed for every 21 people on earth. And in just 2010, there was one Christian for every 7.3 people on earth.

The point is, we are living in the greatest revival the world has ever seen. Our mission at EE is to help national ministries around the world grow in order that, together, we can fulfill the Great Commission.

May our generation be the one to see the Gospel proclaimed to every tribe and tongue!

Rev. John B. Sorensen, D.D. President and CEO Evangelism Explosion International

Many people across generations have talked about finishing the Great

Commission in their generation. When I’ve heard that said in the past, I’ve always assumed that it was bravado or hyperbole. But

the truth is, we may be that generation – the generation that sees the Gospel proclaimed to every tribe and tongue!

Just within EE, we’ve seen 100 million people give their hearts to Christ during the first 15 years of the third millennium. EE Founder, Dr. D. James Kennedy told me once that his research revealed that it took 1500 years after the birth of Christ to see the first 100 million people come into His Kingdom. Today, we’ve seen that in just 15 years!

Is it possible? Could we really see the Great Commission fulfilled in our lifetime? Yes, I believe it is. Ralph Winter, founder of the U.S.

WHO WE ARE

GROWING NATIONAL MINISTRIES

“We may be that generation -- the generation that sees the Gospel proclaimed in every tribe and tongue.”

– Rev. John B. Sorensen

At EE, we believe we have a mandate by Christ to fulfill the Great Commission. We use a clear, concise communication of the Gospel and believe the best way to equip believers to be effective witnesses for Jesus is through on-the-job training. The most effective way to keep up with an exploding population is through an EVANGELISM EXPLOSION — that is, a multiplication of way-of-life witnesses who follow Jesus Christ and are commited to carry through the Great Commission wherever they go.

WE ARE RELATIONALWe are about connecting people with the God of the universe, so relationships are critical.

WE ARE INDIGENOUSWe believe that the world will be reached through strong national spiritual movements that engage the Church.

WE ARE ASSISTANTS TO THE LOCAL CHURCHOur desire is to come along side pastors and key leaders to assist them to do what Christ has commanded them to do.

WE ARE CHRISTIANEvangelism Explosion seeks to proclaim the truth of Jesus in every activity of our ministry.

WHY WE SERVE

Congress of Nations Update

Evangelism Explosion is present in every nation on earth. Every year, we see nations growing and becoming established enough to help other nations grow in their evangelism.

At our 2010, Congress of Nations, 30 nations participated as Multiplying Nations. In 2013, that number more than doubled to 64 nations. In 2016, we saw 76 nations who were multipliers.

Our goal for 2019: 100 nations at multiplying status!

EE RESOURCES

EQUIPPING AMERICAIn 2018, EE-USA will launch a new initiative called Equip America to equip churches in America how to better reach their communities with the Gospel. This one-day workshop teaches individuals how to share their faith in a non-threatening way and gives them the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned.

GOING DIGITAL American churches send hundreds of short-term mission teams around the world every year without teaching their participants how to present the Gospel in a clear and consise way. That’s why we are launching MissioGO, a web-based training tool that churches can use to equip their short-term mission teams to share the Gospel effectively while serving at home and overseas.

CULTURAL RELEVANCY At EE, we strive to remain relevant in all the cultures we serve. Last August, EE Indonesia launched EE4G, a fun, creative tool to help teens in Asian cultures share their faith. EE4G uses worship, devotionals, and fun interactive games along with the Gospel presentation and on-the-job training to engage Asian youth in evangelism.
