With the new graduating class, the network grows and strengthens,

expanding its ability to evangelize communities.

Expansion Mission Network (EMN) joyfully celebrated the graduation of nine new Evangelists trained through the Texas District’s Evangelism Program. This training expands the network's reach, strengthening its ability to spread the Gospel and positively affect communities with the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

The program has become one of the key pillars for advancing mission work within the Lutheran Church, as it goes beyond simply transmitting knowledge: it equips men and women to live out and proclaim their faith in Jesus with clarity and boldness.

One of the graduates was Alondra Martinez, a 20 year old young lady. As a daughter of missionaries, Alondra has inherited her parents’ passion and purpose of sharing God’s Word. For her, this training represents not only personal growth but also a deeper commitment to the mission. “Participating in this training was very important because it taught me how to share my faith with others in an environment outside of church, and that makes all the difference. I love working with young people, and I plan to continue serving them. Now I feel more confident and ready for this new journey”, she shared.

Other graduates included Jorge Maluly, Arthur Garcia, Aldo Martinez, Kesma Alfaro, Noemi Martinez, Byron Castro, Elizabeth Gonzalez, and Ester Maravilla.

The ceremony not only recognized individual achievements but also reaffirmed and strengthen our mission at Expansion Mission Network. With this new training, EMN now has over 15 certified Evangelists, actively serving, discipling, and helping to launch new communities of faith.

Friends,

As we are on the second half of this year, we’re filled with hope and excitement for what God is doing through EMN, BUT, we know we can’t do it alone.

We’re praying for 100 people to commit to fast and pray one day a week, and for 100 financial partners to give $50–$100/month to help us expand the gospel and support our church planters to be trained.

Would you join us, and help us to spread the word?

The mission is in God’s hands, now let’s place it in the hearts of His people.
