Three active church streams are currently experiencing great growth – despite being between the volcanoes. Pray especially for good training and strong leaders in this region. Most Guatemalan pastors will agree
Praise the Lord for what is happening in Cameroon! None of this would be possible without your continuous prayers. I am reminded of Jeremiah 32:27 that says “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.

Many of these churches are run by foreign mission agencies.
When you travel through India you will travel through thousands of “dark” villages – more than 400,000 to be precise. A “dark” village has no Christian witness and no access to a church. One such “dark” village is in the east of India, that our country leader, Brian*, recently visited, and now has three Christian […]
Amidst the darkness, the Gospel is a shining light – a promise of a future in Christ.
