The people of ESA Country Ministries |
ESA Regional Staff Workers
Perhaps the most important work of
ESA is done through our Regional Staff Workers. These people work
alongside existing churches to support, encourage, train, assist and equip
rural people for rural ministry.

Volunteers
All ESA Camps are planned,
organized and run by volunteers. If you would like to be a leader on an
ESA camp, let us know. We
would love to use your gifts in this very special ministry.

Partnership Committees
Field workers are
primarily supported through Partnership Committees. Each committee is a group of
volunteer people who commit their time, prayer and finances to support a particular
field worker.

ESA Staff at
Marysville
The ESA staff at Marysville ensure the maintenance,
management and smooth running of the Camping and Conference
Centre. Some of the income derived from the camping and conference
centre goes to support our regional workers. The Marysville Site is also
the Administration centre of ESA.

ESA Board of Directors
The ESA Board has
a wealth of camping, ministry and buisness experience between them. Most
members have had a long involvement with ESA and a tougher understanding of
its
ministry and purpose.
The
Board
is
responsible
for
making
policy decisions, employing staff and guiding the direction of ESA in its
role of supporting country ministries.
The Board of Directors was formerly known as the ESA Council
