Missions

Go into all the world...

Lucea, Jamaica - Michael and Maxine Gordon

In 1986, Michael and Maxine Gordon began ministry in Lucea, in the second poorest parish on the island. In 1990, EB worked with the Gordons to construct a church building that has been a center of outreach for the Lucea church. The Gordons continue to serve in the community and have made many disciples of Jesus over their years in ministry. They have also impacted many of the lives of our EB family who have gone to visit on campaigns throughout our partnership with them. EB continues to support the Gordons and the work in Lucea through short term trips and providing school supplies to participate with the church in reaching out to their community.

Cienfuegos/Cruces, Cuba- Oscar and Mildrey Álvarez

In 1990, Oscar and Mildrey began working in the small, rural town of Cruces, Cuba.  EB has partnered with Oscar, who has planted a church in Cruces. In recent years, Oscar and Mildrey began a new congregation in their home in Cienfuegos, an hour from the church in Cruces. They continue to serve both the church in Cruces and the new work in Cienfuegos. The churches in Cuba are a series of house churches that are limited by the government on size and structure. EB has partnered with the work through visits to encourage the churches and the missionaries. We also participate in annual islandwide conferences. When we are able, we send relief aid as the country often suffers from a lack of basic necessities. 

Quetzaltenango, Guatemala- Wilson and Mildred Mejia

Wilson and Mildred were members at EB for many years. After spending many years working in the US, they felt called to return to their hometown in Guatemala to begin a bivocational church planting work. In the few years they have been back, they have started a local store to help support them and began a church in their home. They continue to see their family and neighbors come to know Jesus.
