    Dr. D. James Kennedy, our founder, was always excited by the results of spiritual

    multiplication. He wanted to know the result of the next round of this principle

    that has helped multiply the Gospel in every nation of the world. Its easy to see.

    It doesnt take a math wizard. When you multiply something, instead of add, the

    outcome is much more dramatic.

    After 47 years, EE is experiencing historic developments (some in the form of huge

    numbers) as these multiplications have effect.

    Our new Congress of Nations will bring cohesiveness to EE on an internationalscope like never before.

    TheinnovativeGlobalDevelopmentProjectwillplacemorethan400eldworkers

    side-by-side with pastors and have enormous impact for Christ.

    Through our China Initiative, introduced last year to renew our commitment to reach

    China for Christ, were seeing millions of people come to Christ.

    Our new partnership between Kids EE and OneHope (formerly Book of Hope) has

    the potential of reaching 20 million kids for Christ.

    These things are possible. Strategies are in place to track results. What is astounding

    is that the visions and numbers youll read about in this magazine are on the conservative

    side.

    While these developments are indeed phenomenal, every number represents a life,a life changed for Christ. EE people from around the world are building relationships,

    some that can take weeks and months, in efforts to see the Gospel move forward.

    Praise to God that great things are happening. I hope you are as thrilled as I am with these

    wonderful advancements for our ministry that always, always, focus on seeing peoples

    lives changed.

    God Bless,

    Four exciting developments for 2009 draw us closer to training more,reaching more, discipling more and, in turn, training even more.

    Kennedy Training CentersMore training centers are built in

    strategic venues around the world.More are being planned, more

    people are being equipped with the

    Gospel, and more full-time staff are

    joining the EE crusade.

    Global DevelopmentProjectImplementationeld

    workers have proven to

    be an invaluable strategyto assist local pastors in

    their EE implementation.

    We have further plans for

    hundredsmoreintheeld.

    Kids EE/OneHopeKids EE, in conjunction with

    OneHope (formerly Book of

    Hope), will make affordable,

    quality materials readily available

    for Third World countries. This

    gives us the potential to reach

    almost 20 million kids with the

    Gospel within three years.

    Congress of NationsOur mature national EE ministries around

    the world will now give voice to enhance ourministry and build better communication. The

    Congress of Nations kicks off March, 2010, in

    Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

    EE announces a

    major breakthrough

    following two years of

    organizational reviews

    with EE staff, board

    members, national

    leaders, and other ministries

    such as Wycliffe Bible

    Translators and the Navigators.

    It is the Evangelism Explosion

    International Congress of

    Nations.

    The Congress will give

    voice to the mature EE national

    ministries around the world.

    Indonesia is a good example of

    a nation exploding with the EE

    ministry. More than 200 clinics

    will be conducted there for

    2009. They are nearing 200 EE

    staff members. Yet, they have

    never had a representative on

    the Board of Directors.

    In March, 2010, in Kuala

    Lumpur, Indonesia, and other

    mature EE nations like South

    Korea, will have their voice

    attherstEECongressof

    Nations.

    These mature, self-

    supporting, successful EE

    nations will now have input into

    our direction, priorities, key

    issues, and build a capacity for

    the nations to share success with

    one another including practices,

    solutions, brainstorming of

    strategies, tools, and programs.

    Priority issues such as

    reaching Muslims for Christ,

    how to fundraise, and how

    to best work together will be

    incorporated. The purpose of the

    Congress will be to enhance the

    international ministry.

    expansion

    In 2004, EE kicked-off

    the Rodney D. Stortz

    Implementation Field

    Worker Project to increase

    EE implementation in

    churches. Through this

    program,rstemployedin

    Indonesia,morethan100eld

    workers were trained, raisedsupport, and joined EE to assist

    pastors in that part of the world.

    Their task was clear: Help these

    pastors start the EE ministry in

    their churches.

    Almost immediately,

    implementation skyrocketed.

    Implementation, that averaged

    5to20percent,andwasagrave

    concern to the ministry, jumped

    dramaticallytomorethan50percent and soared as high as

    90 percent! What if this strategy

    was utilized around the world?

    The Global Development

    Project far surpasses the

    success of the Rodney D.

    Stortz program. Through the

    Global Development Project,

    EE will place more than 400

    implementationeldworkers

    beside pastors to assist them in

    implementing the EE ministry.

    Pastors have countless

    responsibilities. When we placeaeldworkertoworkside-

    by-side with them, it not only

    creates a wonderful working

    relationship, but also helps

    them work through the many

    details that result in EE being

    implemented and people getting

    equipped for the critical work of

    evangelism.

    If each of these

    implementationeldworkershelppastorsinjust15churches

    each year for three consecutive

    years this will result in:

    More than 19,000 new

    churches implementing EE

    If each of these churches

    train just 10 people each year

    for three years, this will result

    in:

    expansion

    As we talked to staff

    around the world, it

    became clear that the

    single greatest roadblock

    to the spreading of

    the Gospel through

    Kids EE in urban U.S. areas,

    overseas, and especially in

    Third World countries, was the

    lack of affordable materials. In

    this exciting joint partnership

    with OneHope (formerly Book

    of Hope), Kids EE will be

    able to provide quality training

    materials at reasonable prices to

    millions of people.

    OneHopes mission is to

    provide Gods Word to all the

    children and youth of the world.

    To date, OneHope has printed

    anddistributedmorethan540

    million evangelism books.

    Through this unique partnership

    with Kids EE, OneHope

    provides the material, and they

    get the material distributed

    knowing that the Gospel,

    through Kids EE staff around

    the world, goes along with every

    printed piece.

    We get reasonably priced,

    quality materials. They get their

    materials distributed with the

    Gospel attached, says Rev.

    John B. Sorensen, EE President.

    Its a match made in Heaven!

    Using the Kids EE

    worldwide staff, OneHope

    can count on predictable

    results. This will include the

    development of three key

    materials for overseas use:

    Teachermanuals

    Studentmanuals

    Witnessingbookstohandout

    to unbelievers

    Books will be distributed

    and the Kids EE Gospel shared

    with people from places like

    Africa, Indonesia, Brazil,

    Russia, India, Haiti, regions

    of Mexico, Egypt, Solomon

    Islands, Fiji, and China.

    Using these materials,

    a three-year plan has been

    developed:

    Conduct1,980KidsEE

    clinics

    Equip10churchesineach

    clinic. Total: 19,800 churches

    Ifeachchurch,overthisthree-

    year period, trains 100 children

    (33 kids per year) the results

    would be 1,980,000 kids

    trained to share the Gospel of

    Jesus Christ.

    If these kids would each

    hand out 10 witnessing books

    over three years (just 3 per

    year!), the results would be

    more than 19 million kids

    hearing the Gospel.

    God has been faithful. At

    a time when so many

    ministries are cutting

    back, Evangelism

    Explosion has stayed on

    course. We recognize

    that this is not about us as an

    organization. Instead it is about

    Gods empowerment to equip

    others to take the Good News of

    Jesus Christ, share it, and teachothers as well. Dr. Kennedy

    used to say that laypeople are

    the most strategic key to the

    evangelization of the world. Our

    driving force is to equip people

    until everyone hears.

    The following pages contain continental reports from around the world

    In the midst of a generation screaming for answers, we work tirelessly on every continent to help believers regularly

    introduce others to the Savior. We start by training believers, who reach out to unbelievers and care for them,

    fellowship with them, share the truth with them, and then train them to share their faith. In doing this, we follow the

    example of Jesus.

    During the summer,

    325EE-trainedpeople

    visited 26 of the most

    unreached areas of

    Burundi in a campaign

    coordinated by the

    EE National Coordinator,

    Onesphore Manirakiza. As a

    result, they were able to share

    the Gospel personally with

    45,696people,whichincluded

    140 witch doctors. Out of that

    number,18,548prayedtoreceive Christ, including 63

    witch doctors.

    One of them was Stany,

    who had been a witch doctor for

    more than 20 years. His wife

    died long ago. He earned money

    by performing witch practices.

    After hearing the Good News

    of salvation, he gave his

    life to Christ. He burned his

    fetishes as a symbol of his new

    freedom in Christ. When his

    relatives heard that he became

    a Christian they were angry

    and put pressure on him to

    change his mind. But Stany is

    accept Christ, need our prayers

    and support in their new lives in

    faith.

    In early September, we

    clinic for youth. Pastor

    Lalano Badoy, EE Asia

    Coordinator for youth

    and Kids EE, joined us

    in the provincial capital of

    Siem Reap Town in Cambodia

    to serve as our Senior Clinic

    Teacher.The65clinicians

    were from four Khmer

    provinces. Also included were

    three Americans and two

    Vietnamese.Thirteenchurches

    fromvedenominations

    were represented. Duringthe training, 99 people heard

    the Gospel presentation and

    fourteen prayed to receive

    eternal life.

    This number is a miracle

    when you consider the

    cultural pressures and spiritual

    strongholds that keep Khmer

    youth from accepting Jesus as

    Savior and Lord.

    Our vision for the next 12

    years is: Project MK 2021

    (Mission Kampuchea 2021).

    Our goal is to see God being

    worshipped in every village,

    town, and city of Cambodia.

    Research has shown that Jesus

    Christ is known and being

    worshipped in seventeen

    percent of all villages, towns,

    and cities in Cambodia today.Please pray as EE works to

    partner with all the evangelical

    denominations serving in

    Alexandra lives in

    Bucharest, Romania.

    She was not enthusiastic

    about going to church or

    about anything spiritual.

    She called church-goers

    hypocrites and was skeptical

    about God and His involvement

    in peoples lives.

    Alexandra then heard

    the Gospel and about theimportance of a personal

    relationship with God. She was

    uncertain of her eternal destiny.

    After listening to the Gospel

    and understanding, she made

    a profession of faith in Christ

    as her Savior. Several months

    later, she was baptized and

    now attends EE training in her

    church. She is eager to help

    people who are skeptical and

    hesitant about spiritual things.

    She once was a skeptic

    herself. Now she is an

    With the

    implementation

    of EE, the First

    Baptist Church of

    Salvador, Bahia,

    has experienced

    tremendous growth. Already,

    several cell groups have been

    established that include 2,000

    cell leaders. These cell leadersare being trained in key

    training sessions.

    At another Baptist church

    in Bogota, Colombia, 68

    clinicians participated in a

    Kids EE clinic. More than

    100 children made professions

    offaithinChrist.Various

    churches from different Latin

    America countries were

    represented.

    T.Beverley Grey had a

    burning desire to be

    trained in EE. As the

    evangelism coordinator

    for his church, and with

    a passion for personal

    evangelism, he wondered,

    Would the vision for evangelism

    be caught?

    Following his training, he

    brought EE back to his church.

    Immediately, they began to

    see the impact that personal

    evangelism could have. An

    elderly man made a profession

    of faith in Christ and was

    baptized into their church. More

    professions followed.

    After teaching the course for

    four semesters, T. Beverley Grey

    wanted to share EE with other

    churches.InMarch,2005,24 people representing 10

    churches attended his training.

    Three of the clinicians were

    pastors, one of whom was Rev.

    Devon Linton, who has since

    joined EE as Director of the

    Caribbean.

    Despite wonderful

    results, there was still some

    resistance to EE at his church.

    Using EEs Share Your Faithstudent manual, he trained

    many members with the hand

    presentation of the Gospel.

    During the third Sunday

    of May, instead of the regular

    Sunday morning service, they

    sent groups into strategic areas

    of the town to share the Gospel.

    The groups were told to spend

    an hour on the street. Some were

    soexcitedtheyspentuptove

    hours! The report-back meeting

    waslledwithexcitement.

    102 people were contacted;

    the Gospel was presented 69

    times and 38 people made

    professions of faith in Christ.

    They decided to make the Sunday

    outreach a monthly event.

    On the second Sunday,

    91 people were contacted; the

    Gospel was presented 68 times

    and35peopleprofessedChrist

    as Savior. Says T. Beverley Grey,

    Thank God for Evangelism.

    During July of 2007,

    a church team from

    Australia joined

    the summer intern

    program in the town

    of Nadi on the island

    of Fiji. While running two

    clinics, the team participated

    in on-the-job training. During

    therstweek,theteamjoined

    with members of a localMethodist church and visited

    homes in the local villages.

    Two of the summer

    interns, Emma and Kelsey,

    visited a 16-year-old girl

    named Adi. They sat down

    with her family and shared the

    Gospel. That night Adi prayed

    to receive Jesus as her Lord

    and Savior.

    Adi was deeply touchedby the girls passion and

    condenceinsharingthe

    Gospel. Immediately, she

    signed up at her local

    church to begin the EE

    training. During 2008, Adi

    was involved in sharing the

    Gospel and training others, as

    well.

    In June of 2008, Adis

    pastor encouraged her toattend the summer intern

    program at the D. James and

    Anne Kennedy International

    Training Center in Fiji.

    During the training, she

    learned new skills and began

    to help other churches with

    their evangelism training.

    Adis growth in Christ

    blossomed, and God instilled

    on her heart a vision for

    a lifetime of evangelism

    ministry.

    Today, Adi continues to

    share the Gospel and help

    other churches. She will alsoserve as a leader in the 2009

    Fiji summer intern program

    and will help other young

    people from around the world

    discover Gods call on their

    lives.
