Celebrating 21 years of ministry

Dear Ministry Partners,

As Equipping The Saints completes 21 years of ministry, we thank God for His faithful direction and provision. Your encouragement through your prayers and gifts has played a vital role in making this work possible. Thank you!

Over the years we have seen many changes in both expressed needs and available resources. We are traveling farther to auctions and finding fewer items that can be used in ministry. This past year we have seen increased interest in our Spanish literature ( over 1700 titles), in vitamin sales to 14 countries, in technology ( computers, video projectors, etc.) as well as in the Missionary Resource Directory (installed on the ETS website), and in our used clothing (sent to countries such as Nicaragua and North Korea).

ETS sponsored several projects this past year. We were able to send Ragaee A. Danial $8,612 to purchase a 2004 Daewoo Lanos in Egypt. Ragaee has been able to start 5 new "Good News" Clubs in 5 small villages that have never heard the gospel message. The vehicle helps him to bring teachers into these villages each week.

We rejoice that over $4,500 has been raised for the Christian Worker's Personal Manual, to be printed and distributed in Cuba. This is enough for over 2250 church leaders to each receive his own copy.

ETS bought and sent 1440 Bibles to Ohene Kumi (one of ministry partners in Ghana). Ohene has a Bible discipleship ministry to thousands of school age children in Ghana, Togo, and Liberia.

What a joy to serve our Lord by serving His people!
