Reach

We are focused on equipping and empowering the people at E3 Scottsdale to lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

We believe that we can show God’s love to the world around us in real and practical ways. We are dedicated to both Global and Local Missions founded on Jesus’ words to His disciples:

The Commission

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19

The Command

Jesus replied,

You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: `Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

How can I get involved?

We’re glad you asked. To actively participate in E3 Scottsdale’s outreach ministries, please consider one or more of the following:
1. Give financially. It’s a simple as designating a “missions” offering above and beyond your regular tithe. 100% of what you give goes to support missionaries and ministries.

2. Pray. All of our outreach partners need and desire prayer. Consider praying for one of these missionaries and their ministries each day. Pray for their health and protection; for God’s anointing over the ministry; and for favor with people to whom they are ministering.

3. Go. Watch for short-term trips and outreach opportunities, and plan to participate. You might consider saving money now for in preparation for a future trip.

Global Outreach

GO. Each year we provide opportunities for our church members to participate in short term missions trips all across the globe. Working with our partner missionaries we find locations that are in need of the message of Gods love and have practical needs that we can assist with.

GIVE. E3 Scottsdale supports various missions organizations. Some of the missionaries we support are:

  • Harvest India
  • Amor International

With Book of Hope programs now established in seven Southern Africa countries, Joe & Mishael’s team is targeting more than three million children in 2007.
  • Missionaries in North Africa - We are excited to actively support missionaries in sensitive regions in this part of the world; however, due to inherent risks, details of their ministry cannot be provided here.

Local Outreach

GO. We believe that nothing shows God’s love better than action. We seek out areas in our community where we can be involved reaching people. Through serving meals to homeless, or helping at community events, we challenge our people to take an active role in their community.

We currently have opportunities for you to GO locally.
