Sue Hoxie: I work with a ministry of Greater Europe Mission called eDOT (electronic Discipleship Outreach and Training). Just like GEM, our vision and our heart's desire for Europe is "a witnessing fellowship in reach of every person in Europe." Believe me - there is much work to be done. eDOT does several things:

We develop Distance Learning Bible study courses and then translate them into 8 different languages. One of my responsibilities is to coordinate this process with our partners all around Europe and then gather feedback once the courses are offered.

In eastern Europe, many people don’t have computers yet are very anxious to learn to use them to improve their lives. Setting up Computer Centers at churches and offering computer classes is an incredible outreach tool. I am responsible for coordinating between our partner churches in eastern Europe (primarily Ukraine at the moment) and US churches who want to send short term missions teams to do computer outreaches.

Since I speak German, I also help my fellow missionaries with anything they need help with in German, like visas, bills, letters in German, contracts, etc. Every day is a new day with new things to do and new opportunities to serve our Lord!

Cedarbrook Church sent team to the Ukraine in March 2007 and again in April of 2008 to help a local church with a construction project, offer computer skills classes, and explore further opportunities to partner with eDOT and GEM.
