Joe and Julie

Just had some news on Joe and Julie:

Joe and Julie will be in Chile until tomorrow.  They are still planning on going to a church service. 

Currently they are staying in a home where no one speaks great English.  They do however have water and power.  The only thing that they do not have right now is reliable internet access. 

Update on Krysten Norkaitis

We just received word from Joe (who is in Chile) that Krysten is in Lima Peru, most likely still at the airport.  The airport in Santiago Chile is closed until March 2nd, so as of now, she is in Peru and will probably be making a decision of what to do next soon.

Where are they...

Early this morning EGM staff members Joe and Julie Cox were awakened by the 8.8 Richter scale earthquake in Chile. They had arrived the night before from Peru. Even though the epicenter was further to the south, Joe told me he felt like the entire building was going to collapse. When he stepped outside he was amazed that everything was not reduced to rubble. We thank God that our entire EGM-Chile staff was unhurt and safe. Krysten Norkaitis our Latin America Director was scheduled to fly to Chile from Lima this morning but the quake cancelled the flight.

Our EGM-Chile office is located about 50 miles west of Santiago in Valparaiso. Our team works with hundreds of churches and their children’s workers. Many of them are located in and around Concepcion, the city hit hardest by the quake. Our EGM-Chile team has asked us for prayer regarding the numerous children, families and churches affected by the quake. Please join me in praying for God to use this tragedy for good and that His church in Chile might be a beacon of loving care, especially to the boys and girls in Chile.

We will be posting updates regularly through our this blog as we receive news from Chile. We ask that you continue your prayer vigil for our staff, the church in Chile and the boys and girls we love so dearly.

Making History

It's pretty standard practice in the United States to have an offering for a particular ministry endeavor at a Christian event. But it was history in the making when it happened recently at the fourth annual Every Generation Ministries-Romanian national conference.


First, months before the conference, EGM staff members in Romania worked hard to raise funds from Romanian churches to bring Nabila, one of the EGM-Egypt staff members, to the conference as a guest speaker. This had never been done before! The Romanian people loved her.


Secondly, the offering was being taken to help children go to a camp not in Romania, but in Egypt.


Thirdly, the method used to raise the funds was cutting edge for Romania. In addition to the traditional offering, conference participants had been asked to contribute items for a silent auction. Women's shoes, a can of Coke, baby clothes and handicrafts were among the items donated.

Perhaps the most astounding thing was that the amount raised was an astronomical amount for this small group of less than 100 children's workers to give - enough to send 25 Egyptian children to camp for a week! Wow!


Throughout her visit Nabila was asked to share in three Romanian churches, participate in a radio program and shared in two "Egyptian Nights" where small groups met in homes to learn more about the ministry of EGM in Egypt. Offerings were collected and again the Romanian people responded generously. There will be a total of 45 children going to camp next summer in Egypt because of the love shown by the believers in Romania. Praise the Lord for what He has done and will ocntinue to do!


If you, too, have a heart for the children and children's workers in Egypt why not join our Romanian friends by making a gift to EGM today so that this important work might continue? Click here to join the team!  >

God Has another Idea

God Has Another Idea!


In the world’s current economic predicament EGM is not looking for ministry expansion options. However, God has some other ideas.We had never heard about the people who speak Xhosa in South Africa. But God knew about them and their need of Him. He searched for people whose hearts would love these, the poorest of the poor, in Kayamandi, South Africa. Last year Terra Anders traveled with a team from her church to South Africa, working with the Xhosa people. They had planned to work with preschool children, but were also asked to train the adults how to teach!!! They quickly put something together, but felt that more needed to be done. They needed help!

This year Terra and her friend, Jen, came to an EGM Model Children’s Worker training where they received information on the Biblical approach to teaching. They also received curriculum to use with the preschoolers. What was the result of EGM’s contribution?

Here is a quote from Terra on her return home July 17, 2009.

“The format you taught us and reviews of my lesson plans was invaluable to our success there…..I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your help, guidance and support on this new, evolving ministry project among SA poorest children. I am hoping to continue this project and pray about having it spread past the walls of Kayamandi into some of the other townships where crèche (preschool) training and God’s Word is essential for the future of these children. We simply could not have done it without you.”

God’s heart is for the children no matter where they are. We are blessed that EGM was able to participate in an unexpected way in the work that God is doing in South Africa.
