February 11, 2009 To: Northeast Asia EE Leaders From: Tom Mangham Re: Appointment of New EE Network Leader for Northeast Asia Dear EE Leaders in Northeast Asia, Greetings in the grace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ! I want to express my deep appreciation for your commitment to Jesus Christ and His Church in Northeast Asia. I am also very grateful for your strong leadership and dedication to the EE ministry both globally and in nation. I am filled with gratitude that, at such a time as this, God in His providence placed you in a position of leadership in the EE ministry to bring godly wisdom and spiritual stability to the EE ministry in you nation. Since the Rev. Buddy Gaines stepped down as the EE Regional Director for Northeast Asia, I have spent these past months praying and seeking advice from EE International executive leadership as to how to bring accelerated growth to the EE ministry in Northeast Asia. We agree that the best course of action is to appoint a person as the EE Network Leader in Northeast Asia. We are using the term “Network Leader” instead of “Regional Director” to clearly show that his position is not to „direct‟ the ministry but instead, to serve as a team leader as he networks with each of you to develop the EE ministry in Northeast Asia. Rev. Peter Li is respected in the Asia continent, has a vast amount of experience in leadership and has shown that he can instill confidence in all who serve with him in Northeast Asia. Therefore, I have appointed Peter to serve as the EE Network Leader for Northeast Asia. With God‟s strength and wisdom he will carry out the role of a Network Leader which include:  seek the advice of the National EE leaders in Northeast Asia in determining how to bring accelerated strength and growth in the EE ministry in Northeast Asia.  pray for National EE leaders & communicate with them to find ways to assist them in their ministry.  request input from EE leaders on the development of funding proposals for EE Northeast Asia.  visit the National EE leaders to discuss ways to ensure the future development of the EE ministry in Northeast Asia.  request quarterly reports from the National EE leaders in order to be knowledgeable about the needs, progress, challenges and successes of the EE ministry in Northeast Asia.  plan/coordinate regional gatherings in order to strengthen fellowship between EE leaders, develop strategic plans in a collaborative way and pray for each other and the nations in Northeast Asia. Please pray for Peter and his family as they enter into this new chapter of ministry. Pray also for all the EE leaders in Northeast Asia as they continue to equip churches to multiply pastors, evangelists, church planters, lay leaders, the young and the old. Together we serve… all for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ! In His service,

Rev. Thomas G. Mangham, M.Div. EE International Vice President – Asia Continent EE INTERNATIONAL – ASIA CONTINENT
