Changing Lives For

Letter from the

President

What a privilege it is for us to partner with you allowing such an

impact worldwide for Christ and His Kingdom, glorifying God and seeing lives that

have been changed through the power of the Gospel!

We are expanding on many levels, using our worldwide staff and partnerships to

build and rene practical tools to effectively equip Christ’s Church to be a witnessing,

multiplying Church.

I saw rst-hand the fruit of our healthy church growth while in Malawi. The

attendance at the church I preached at had previously been around 30 adults with

no children—then the Hope for Kids project was introduced and a worker trained.

The Sunday that I spoke, there were over 200 in attendance with over half of those

children! The children that had been trained had shared with their friends, leading

many to Christ. Additionally, the families of the children reached were led to Christ

as well. What an impact in the Church!

Hope for Kids represents one of several projects that is on the ground and making

wonderful progress for Christ. This annual report offers brief glimpses into some of

those projects.

All glory to God! Thank you again for standing with us, praying with us

and giving to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to impact more and more lives

for eternity.

Yours in His service,

John B. Sorensen, D.D.

President, Evangelism Explosion International

Unsurpassed growth and expansion

The bottom line is that more churches are implementing EE and equipping

their people for the critical, life-saving work of evangelism.

Within a few years, thousands of new churches have begun the ministry

as a direct result of an implementation eld worker assisting them.

Over the next two years, by God’s grace, we believe we will see a

maturing movement in this ministry that will last for years and have great

effect in seeing the ends of the earth reached for Jesus Christ.

We’re extremely encouraged by the progress in this new millennium.

We have seen more people make professions of faith in Christ in the past

15 years (2000 – 2014), than in our rst 39 years of ministry.

Our ministry leaders, highly committed to EE, continue to grow

in their personal relationship with Christ. They, in turn, encourage and

motivate their staffs to do the same. It has created an environment of

great anticipation and excitement within our worldwide organization as

we mature and expand our ministry. But, we must remember, the ultimate

goal is enlarging God’s Kingdom for His glory alone.
