Welcome to Our New Website!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our completely redesigned website! After months of planning, designing, and building, we’re excited to share this new digital home with you. A Fresh Look for a Growing Mission Over the past 30 years, Every Generation Ministries has grown from a single vision in Poland to a global network spanning 18 countries. Our website needed to reflect that growth—and more importantly, make it easier for you to connect with what God is doing through trained leaders around the world. The new site features a cleaner design, easier navigation, and a more compelling way to…

A Vision for 2025

Vision – Looking Back Twenty-five years ago, my wife and I were preparing to move to Poland as missionaries to help churches develop a transformational ministry with children. We had no idea then that we were laying the groundwork for Every Generation Ministries. We read books about Poland and were tutored in Polish. We quickly realized that if we wanted to learn Polish, we had to be in Poland with Polish speakers. If we wanted to have a meaningful impact, we needed to learn their language and spend time with them. This is a crucial ministry principle. It is the…

Spring Swing 2016 Successful in Helping Children in Conflict Zones

  It was a beautiful day to celebrate God’s great love for children around the world. Over 200 people enjoyed a day of golfing and an enchanted evening fellowshipping with the EGM family. We prayed that God would be honored, His love for boys and girls be kept front-and-center, and His vision for transforming their lives in Christ lifted high. Many responded, and over $150,000 was given toward children in conflict zones: Ukraine, DRC, the Middle East, and Latin America. Spring Swing 2016 Giving to Help Benefit Children’s Workers in DRC EGM leaders just returned from leadership development training to…

Faithful Service in Ministry: Rick Fortier

  Fourteen years ago, I sat in a room filled with Chilean children, watching a young teacher who had been involved in training with Every Generation Ministries. Sitting next to me was Rick Fortier, the man who had organized the entire ministry trip to Chile. As we participated in the lesson, Rick’s face was filled with emotion as God was using him to bring the Gospel to children in his birth country. Since that first trip… Rick has traveled over 500,000 miles with me; developing ministry in Chile, Argentina, Mexico and Peru. He has spent hundreds of hours translating teaching…

Celebrate Giving in the Middle East

Local Community in Middle East Supports EGM-Egypt in Their Own Backyard Sary Mikhaiel, Middle East Resource Team Director in Egypt, and his team have been invited to present Vacation Bible School programs to churches working with refugee children in the area. This EGM team from Egypt will be sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children in need. One church in Jordan presented Sary with a need for the refugee children in VBS – milk boxes for nourishment. When Sary and his team shared the need to their friends in Egypt, the Lord began to work in the hearts of…

Developing Leaders Around the World – Transforming Lives

Every Generation Ministries believes that the best people to transform children in Christ are national Christian leaders in His Church. So, EGM establishes national ministry teams that are governed, staffed and funded by the local Christian community. “Governed” means a Board of Directors is overseeing the work in the country. “Staffed” means there are national Christian leaders doing the work of the ministry; most importantly the National Ministry Team (NMT) Director. “Funded” means that the operating budget of the national ministry team is supplied by national donations, curriculum sales and leadership development costs. The NMT Director is called by the…

Model Children's Worker Summit 2016

What happens when leaders are gathered together from Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Poland, Latin America, Africa, Belarus and Egypt? We throw a Model Children’s Worker leadership development summit. Nearly 30 leaders from EGM’s regional team and national ministry team partners will come together in Romania to work through the newly revised Model Children’s Worker development program. Activities will include quality discussion time, training to equip children’s workers serving in local churches, Bible studies, ministry reports from around the world and time spent in fellowship with one another. God will use 30 leaders to equip 100’s of children’s workers, which will then…

Praying for Children in Latin America

God has called passionate, talented, skilled, and extremely capable leaders to spearhead ministry work in Latin America. Every Generation Ministries (EGM) currently operates in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Mexico. Not only does each country have a strong leadership team in place, but now that these four teams have united, there is no telling how God is going to use them to impact all of Latin America. Latin American children’s ministry workers recently came together in Lima, Peru for Model Children’s Worker summit. One of the best response activities from the Latin America Summit occurred when children’s workers learned about how important it is…

Testimony from a Romania VBS Camp

Young volunteers had the time of their lives a week ago at the Vacation Bible School (VBS) hosted in Baia Mare, Romania, called, “Blue Planet Detectives.” They shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with over 150 children between the ages of 3 and 14. EGM-Romania has been heavily involved in preparing the materials for VBS camps just like this one. As such, we at Every Generation Ministries in the U.S. were ecstatic when we received a testimony directly from a volunteer at the camp. What’s even better is since there wasn’t a reliable Internet connection, the testimony came through on a cell phone text! We…

Reaching Children in Uganda

EGM’s East and Central Africa Resource Team Director, Emmanuel Manishimwe, recently shared this story about a Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement located in the Kamwenge district, in Southwest Uganda. The camp accommodates over 50,000 refugees fleeing from conflict in Democratic Republic of Congo, half of which are estimated to be children. On July 7th and 8th, leaders from EGM had the opportunity to run the first two-day Model Children’s Worker course in the refugee camp. 70 Sunday school teachers participated at CEPAC St. Michael, a Pentecostal Church located in the center of the settlement. Many churches and denominations were represented from within the settlement and…
