This post includes the one page letter I am using for relationship building and generating support for our mission goals in 2025–thus, who we are, some info on me, and a bullet list of goals–in a brief introduction format. Send me a contact if you have interest in joining this effort.
Ethné Global Services (hereafter EGS) is a 501(c)3 non–profit organization dedicated to assisting people at risk in the United States and around the world. EGS has an established presence in 15 different countries including The United States of America., Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Cameroon, Kenya, Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), The Philippines, Mongolia, India, Ireland, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Cuba. EGS is responsible for over 235 church plants in these countries and others since its inception in 2008, and EGS maintains service to over 100 projects globally.
Education is a foundational strategy EGS utilizes to combat poverty and give hope for a better future to at–risk people. From the All-Nations Children’s Home in Myanmar—started in 2014—to over 40 students in D.Min, Ph.D., G.E.D., and Diploma Programs around the world, EGS is equipping indigenous people with the theological and Biblical education needed to become the next generation of church leaders.
Dr. Chris Gibson serves as a pastor and director of Recovery Ministries at Ministries of Jesus in Edmond, Oklahoma, and provost for HTI Nicaragua in Somotillo, Nicaragua. He holds a M.Div. and a Ph.D. from Gateway Seminary where he studied Theology and Counseling—and the integration of the two disciplines. Dr. Gibson is the Central and South America Director for EGS and supervises students in D.Min. program study internationally. HTI Nicaragua is dedicated to equipping the next generation of indigenous pastors to lead the church in Central America—it will graduate its fourth cohort in 2025 and begin its fifth in January 2026.
Dr. Gibson is seeking a small number of committed corporate partnerships to raise support for travel/mission needs the following projects require in 2025.
- Myanmar: meet with student(s) (D.Min. graduate) to mentor a house church ministry. While in Myanmar offer support to the All-Nations Children’s Home listed above and visit two medical clinics EGS is constructing.
- Cucuta, Columbia: visit a site for a theological and pastoral equipping center. The school will dedicate efforts to educate indigenous pastors and church leaders to minister to Venezuelan refugees. The goal of the trip in 2025 is to establish relationships in Cucuta and survey the needs and location for a school plant.
- Jos, Nigeria: further established a relationship with a theological school and a street recovery ministry to supply course instruction on site in the fall semester. A hybrid teaching delivery will be utilized—one week in classroom teaching with the completion of lecture and classroom time through online meetings.
- Somotillo, Nicaragua: send leaders to support a Celebrate Recovery ministry start in Somotillo. This is a return trip to continue training pastors to plant and run a Celebrate Recovery ministry.
