A Christmas Greeting For 2020
And a Vision For 2021
I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so
that they may receive forgiveness of sin. Acts 26:17-18
A VERSE FROM A HEBREW SONG STRENGTHENS MY HEART WITH THESE WORDS,
“Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.” (Ps. 77:19). This verse follows a recounting of God’s works in the deliverance of Israel from Egypt 3,400 years ago. What amazing and comforting words for any who follow Jesus Christ in these unusual days; for He is our unseen leader, provider and protector. God, though unseen, continues to be our Savior and Lord!
Your faithful partnership with ETeamGlobal has enabled us to serve many around the world in greater need than ourselves. From Equatorial Guinea to Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, N. Macedonia, Spain, and N. Africa we have sent approximately $40,000 for aid to the hungry, funds for partner ministry salaries, food for the widows of martyred Evangelists, funds to keep schools open, and medicines and treatments where needed. Each of our partners also shared Christ as they distributed aid—with hundreds responding to Christ.
Thank you for partnering with us to extend a helping hand in these critical times.
By God’s constant guidance we have adjusted our ministry to stay relevant despite the challenges of 2020. From traveling internationally 5-6 times a year for 30 years to ministry on Zoom during this pandemic, the Lord is with us. We have and will continue to adapt and adopt new ways to train Evangelists and to share the Gospel.
• We used Zoom to train Evangelists at Multnomah University and for Forums in Nigeria, Northern Macedonia, and Slovakia.
• We connected with students in Venezuela, India, Slovakia, Romania, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Canada, and the USA.
• We conducted Concerts of Prayer and held a special evangelistic outreach (preaching of the Gospel) via Zoom in Sierra Leon. More than 30 people responded to an invitation to receive Christ! A follow-up bible study is being conducted by a local church with guidance from Kemoh Suliman in Portland (OR), a DMIN student at Multnomah University in the Global Evangelism program sponsored by ETG!
The ministry of His Word continues globally. Rejoice with us and join with us as never before to keep the Good News of Jesus Christ spreading globally.

Our team and board, alongside Sharon and I, appreciate you in this Holiday (Holy Day) Season with sincere gratitude. May HIS Name be worshipped and adored as we once again share together in giving in special ways.
Thank YOU for your partnership with ETeamGlobal and Merry Christmas from the team!

CLOSING ONE DECADE, STARTING ANOTHER!!
As 2020 closes with the news of vaccines, we look to God for the hope of being able to travel once again in 2021 to continue sharing the Gospel and training evangelists.
Through God’s guidance and your support, ETeamGlobal was a vibrant ministry in 2020 despite the pandemic, even expanding its capabilities and growing its skill set. In addition to what has already been shared, we also:
• Continued working with local churches in Eatonville (WA) to help organize and prepare for “Something More”, a regional evangelistic event now planned for August next year.
• Launched a prayer campaign on March 17 in response to the Covid-19 crisis. For almost 300 days ETG supporters, partners, and team members from around the world have prayed twice a day for their local communities and nations. See our website for how you can join us!
• Began initial planning for new Evangelist Forums in Australia and Melanesia!
• Expanded our social media ministry and launched a newly designed website. Check us out at www.eteamglobal.org!
We closed 2020 celebrating 10 years of ETG ministry, and we enter 2021 with great anticipation for how God will use us over the next 10 years!
Our prayer for 2021 is to minister in Russia, No. Macedonia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, Australia, and Tasmania.
Exploratory trips are planned next year for possible ministry expansion in Africa, Asia, and So. America over the coming years! And we will continue partnering with Multnomah University to train evangelists in the Global Evangelism Masters and Doctorate programs.
It is an exciting vision for ETG, but to get all this done we need your partnership!! We are seeking at least $160,000 for Forums, missions, and projects alone! This is above and beyond the support needs of each of our evangelists. Our desire is that each evangelist is fully funded and deployed!
Please consider giving to our ministry or increasing you current giving. We also ask that you consider hosting a breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert with a team member for your friends, churches, and contacts to share with them the unique aspects of ETG’s ministry and how what we do changes lives!
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
It is hard to believe that only ten years ago ETeamGlobal (ETG) launched its ministry. As we begin our next decade, the ETG Board of Directors would like to thank you for your faithful support and share with you our hopes and prayers for this ministry going forward!
ETG started with Dr. Robnett and three board members having a vision to Identify, Affirm, Train, and Mobilize evangelists (Ephesians 4:11). From the beginning it was apparent there were many more opportunities to serve the Lord than we had the capability to meet. We experienced growth that strained our budgets and team.
But we also experienced amazing opportunities to serve the Lord and grow His Kingdom! In ten years ETG has helped nearly 50,000 people make decisions for Christ and trained more than 19,000 evangelists and pastors across 29 countries on 6 continents. Partnering with Multnomah University, we also launched the nation’s only advanced degree program in evangelism!
Now our seven Directors eagerly look forward to the next ten years!
Our strategic vision builds on what the Lord has already allowed us to achieve. With God’s blessings, we want to grow our global network of evangelists, expanding ETG’s reach into new regions and countries.
We also seek to add to and refine the unique set of training materials and methodologies used to train evangelists. These materials will also be used by ETG Forum graduates to train other evangelists—a critical self-sustaining element of ETG’s mission and consistent with the Great Commission. We will expand our relationship with Multnomah by increasing the number of students in the advanced degree evangelism program while seeking similar partnerships with other seminaries, both in the USA and internationally.
To accomplish all of this, we need to increase our funding and grow our donor base. The board will prioritize fundraising by identifying new donors and foundations to work with while developing new ministry partners. We also want to humbly ask that you prayerfully consider giving or increasing your support to ETeamGlobal. We are a lean and efficient organization that gets the most out of every dollar we receive.
ETG is impacting many lives but there is so much more we can do! With your help we can train even more evangelists, spreading the Gospel around the globe further and faster! Note: To learn more about our Board of Directors and the team, check us out at: https://www.eteamglobal.org/meet-the-team.
