What it says it does

The primary goal of Ends of the Earth Ministries is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never before heard His name and to equip individuals who have the same purpose. To this end EOTE has built and operates both a medical clinic and schools in Eastern Africa and conducts outreach to bring the love of Christ to extremely impoverished remote tribes. EOTE also provides training media for those who want to become missionaries.
