Ethne United States

Ethne staff in the U.S.A. minister in a variety of ways. While their home bases are spread across the U.S., they still minister in other regions such as Asia, Russia, and Eastern Europe. From mobilizing short term missions, catalyzing emerging leaders, ministering to immigrants, and teaching seminary students, Ethne staff continue to work to see Gospel movements among the nations.

The Bressers are ministering among immigrants in Hamtramck, Michigan and the Detroit area. They have established a prayer meeting and are investing in immigrants through ESL and exploring other opportunities to meet their needs. They are also engaging leaders in theological discussions. In addition, they continue to work to transform the next generation of Russian orphans by investing in Christian leaders ministering among them. This is done in short visits to Kursk, Russia and mentoring via Skype.

The Tomasellis work to mobilize and lead short term teams to partner with CRM ministries in Eastern Europe. Presently, their countries of focus are Romania and Moldova where they minister in a number of ministries that the CRM team has established and developed through the years. When the Tomasellis are not in Eastern Europe they are working with churches in the U.S. to bring teams to Eastern Europe or as church consultants in the Southeastern U.S., helping churches develop ministries of church revitalization, church planting, leadership development, outreach and missions.
