Our Global Workers Eric and Rachel McEachron Operation Mobilization (OM) Mission Focus Our mission focus is the least-reached – the 3 billion people who have never heard the story of God’s love, and probably have never even met a follower of Jesus. We believe that God is calling a new wave of missionaries: ordinary believers of all professions taking their jobs to live and work in these places where Jesus is not worshipped. My role (Eric) is sharing this vision with university students (tomorrow’s workforce) and offering them an introduction to this work-as-mission lifestyle through professional internships. • A blessing in our work: I love all of it…seeing individual students’ skills and majors matched with great opportunities, networking with professors, problem-solving with teammates, and sharing with our partners (like Grace Community Chapel!). An extra blessing is Rachel connecting with the Japanese community in Atlanta through our church here. • A challenge: Staying connected with, and adapting to the ever-changing realities of, our universities and our receiving teams. Testimony Eric's Testimony I had the immense privilege knowing about Jesus Christ from an early age--however, I saw obedience my means to get attention and prove that I was better than others. I realized that I had a problem when I learned (in a GCC Sunday School class) that God can see every hidden thing inside of us; I knew I could not change myself or make myself good enough in the eyes of a God who sees all of me. But that’s when it connected for me that Jesus, who lived in perfect obedience to God from the inside out, died in my place and rose from the dead; I asked him to make me clean before God, and began to follow him with my life. My heart for Christ was cultivated in GCC ministries and became directed toward missions through an international internship in college. I ended up moving to Japan to work as an English teacher, where I was mentored in missions by Jon Junker, got a crash course in cross-cultural living, and met my wife Rachel. Our years in Japan gave us a burden for the unreached, a vision for the role of professionals in mission, and confirmation of how formative the college and young professional years are. Rachel's Testimony I came to personal faith in Christ when I was seven years old. After morning devotions with my mom, I realized that my sin would keep me separated from God forever. I knew I needed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and His forgiveness. I grew up in a Bible church and had heard the Gospel many times, but that was the first time I truly understood my need. When I was ten years old, my parents took our family on a missions trip to work with Jon Junker in Japan. This was a turning point in my life. I knew that I wanted to be back in missions to share the hope of Christ with others in the future. When I was in junior high, I really began to make my faith my own and started growing. I studied cross-cultural ministry at Moody Bible Institute. Internships solidified my desire to teach English to speakers of other languages. That’s how God opened the door for me work as an English teacher in Japan for four years. My primary role now is discipling our four children. And God has continued to provide ways for me to teach English and even be part of a ministry to local Japanese ladies. That really energizes me! Back to Global Workers

Our Global Workers Amy Scott TeachBeyond: Sparrow Project Mission Focus I work with an arm of the missions organization TeachBeyond. The byline of TeachBeyond is “Reaching the Nations Through Education”. The division of TeachBeyond that I work with is called the Sparrow Project. The Sparrow Project was started in 2021 when one of the TeachBeyond leaders was walking through the slums of the city of Lusaka, Zambia and noticed that there were schools popping up everywhere - in churches, in abandoned buildings, in garages, in chicken coops – and that the teachers had no training and very few materials. Out of this need grew a vision to help empower the teachers, especially Christian teachers, to reach their communities for Christ through Biblical-centered teaching. Thus began the Sparrow Project, whose primary goal is to provide training for teachers in under-resourced schools. Since 2021, the Sparrow Project has grown quickly! We now have a presence in 13 countries, including two creative-access nations. As associate director of the Sparrow Project, I work with other staff members as we develop curriculum, provide resources, empower our national leaders, and respond to requests for training from schools around the world. I also specifically work to encourage and mentor the leaders in Latin America and the French-speaking countries of West Africa. Testimony I grew up in a Christian family. I had a firsthand introduction to missions at a very early age, as my dad, who was a pastor, helped to start a Haitian church in south Florida. When I was seven years old, my parents left me in the care of a church family, while they went out of town to lead a mission trip. It was through a conversation with the mom of this family that I realized for the first time that the Gospel that I had heard for as long as I could remember was for me – that Jesus had died to save me from my sins and that I stood in need of a Savior. I acknowledged my sins to God and asked Him to forgive me and make me His child. Through the years, the Lord has shown me again and again that He is faithful. It is His faithfulness that continues to draw me to Him each day. When I was about ten years old, I began to feel a strong draw to foreign missions. After college, I taught in a Christian school in the U.S., but foreign missions continued to draw me. I was privileged to serve overseas for three years, in Russia and France. I returned to the U.S. with the purpose of attending seminary so that I could be more effective in missions. During my time in the U.S., three things happened: I finished seminary, the mission I had worked for was closed by the government, and I met the man who is now my husband! Terry and I were married in 2004. We have been blessed with our three children; Erin, Jesse, and Adam, and I have been able to remain involved in Christian education and part-time missions work. As my children have gotten older, I felt that God was leading me to be more involved in foreign missions, and He opened the door for me to begin serving with TeachBeyond in January of 2025. All praise be to Him! Back to Global Workers

Our Global Workers Solomon and Ruby Kendagor International Broadcasting and Discipling Mission Focus Our Mission focus is in three areas: A. Evangelism. B. Leadership (Both Church and Government). C. Marriage and Family. We accomplish these areas of ministry through: A. Two Radio and TV stations; B. Social Media like Facebook. We are in over 50 countries. Our listeners increased by 502% to 63,781 in the last month according to Facebook. Testimony Solomon's Testimony Solomon came to know Christ at the age of 9 through his parents’ ministry and family devotions. Parents were Kenyan Missionaries who left everything to serve God and live by faith, trusting the Lord for every need. Parents emphasized the importance of personal time with God for everyone in the family. During family devotion everybody was expected to share what he or she learned during personal devotion. Children learned from early age to have personal devotion, pray and trust God for every need. Solomon, however, planned to make money and give as others served the Lord and live by faith. During high school he struggled about God’s will for his life. God made it clear that he was interested in Solomon’s heart not his money. He finally surrendered to God’s purpose and God began to work in his heart. Solomon ended up in full time ministry and continues to serve with joy. Ruby's Testimony Abandoned by parents at about a month old, Ruby was raised in an orphanage with close to 500 children. Life was difficult at the orphanage and Ruby longed to know about her parents. When she was 14, a letter from her dad in Canada arrived saying her mother was dead. Ironically, another letter arrived the following day from her mom in Barbados introducing herself to her. Neither of the parents wrote to her again. At age 16 she had to leave the orphanage to work as a maid, first for a Chinese family for a year and a half and later for a Muslim family. The Evangelical Alliance Mission arrived and rented property from the Muslim family. Through their ministry, Ruby came to faith in Christ. She finally met her father at the age of 19 and her mother at the age of 23. Both became believers through her testimony. Back to Global Workers

Zambia: Global Training Network Who: Frank McEachron will be making this trip alone. (Not excepting applications) What: On this trip, we will teach a one-week course in Pneumatology (study of the Holy Spirit) with review of Bible study methods and Biblical preaching using a tested GTN curriculum. When: May 9 - May 18 Where: Chongwe, Zambia (central Africa) Why: Though Zambia is majority protestant Christian, many pastors, particularly in outlying areas, have no formal Biblical training. The presence of diverse unbiblical beliefs and heresies makes it difficult for pastors to effectively shepherd their congregations. DONATE NOW!
