Up and Coming Events

Gather25

We are already planning for 2025 and anticipating the New Year!

Gather25 is a one-time Global Church gathering taking place in locations across all continents to stir in God’s people a unified, renewed desire to take the gospel to everyone, everywhere, everyday! The goal of Gather25 is to mobilize the 2.5 billion Christians to participate in the mission of God to “go and make disciples” of the 5.5 billion people who do not yet trust in Jesus for eternal life. For 25 hours, the Global Church will gather across continents, time zones, and languages to be encouraged by storytelling, worship, and prayer. Good News Church in Omaha is serving as a local Gather Group and Embrace the Nations is hosting one hour of prayer. This global wide event will take place in March. Check back for further details!

This Year's Past Events

Citywide Call to Prayer

As a Christian non-profit organization, we focus heavily on the importance of prayer. Our annual Citywide prayer event helps draw believers together as we lift up Nebraska, our nation and the world. In October, many ethnic groups from varying denominations came together to lift up Jesus and pray for fifteen different countries worldwide. It was an incredible evening!

City Serve

We were grateful to partner with Christ Community Church in Omaha in the annual City Serve event they host each year. We hosted a handful of volunteers from two different churches. These volunteers went above and beyond to clean one of our ministry sites and our storage room, as well as, participate in prayer walking.

Teacher's Reunion

Since it’s inception, ETN has invested in refugee youth and families. Over the course of several years, we have hosted kids classes and teen groups. We have loved the numerous volunteers who have poured into refugee youth, and have a handful who still maintain the beautiful relationships they’ve built! Some have known the same kids for 10+ years! In August, it was an absolute blast to host a teacher’s reunion and hear how our youth programs have impacted some of our students. For inspiration, Miss Pam encouraged teachers to see the movie: “The Forge” and continue to pray for our youth, who are now entering their young adult years.

God's Glory Among All Nations Walk-a-Thon

Embrace the Nations hosted our first ever Walk-a-Thon on June 8th with the purpose of gathering the local Church in order to learn about and connect with the various international churches and refugees located in our area. We had representation from many ethnic groups including: Nepali/Bhutanese, Karenni, Karen, Afghan, Sudanese and others from Africa as well. Nearly 200 people came out to walk, eat authentic international foods, and participate in the fun events for kids. It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all!

Bible Storying Workshop

We believe that the gospel needs to not just be heard, but understood. For oral cultures this often comes through Biblical Storytelling. Earlier this year, we invited Jean Johnson, founder of “Five Stones Global,” to teach on this topic. Participants from around the city gained many insights that are now being put into practice.

Ongoing Events

Refugee Readiness Training

Our Refugee Readiness Training is for individuals and groups interested in learning how they can actively support a refugee family. This three-fold training presented by our leadership team covers the basics of Refugee life, unpacks how to advocate for them in a culturally sensitive way, and provides in depth training on Afghan culture to assist our newest arrivals. This last piece of the training can be switched out to best fit your group’s needs. The training is typically three hours presented from 9:00 AM to Noon on a Saturday. Alternatively, we’ve conducted this training via Zoom when necessary. If you have a support team ready to take the next step or you are an individual looking to learn how you can get involved, please contact us to hear about our next training opportunity.
