"In an extraordinary move of God's hand, the Gospel was proclaimed to an entire class of 15 students, all gathered in an English class. These were not just any students—each of them came from a Muslim background, making the opportunity to share Christ with them a powerful moment in itself.

May 2025: A Season of Visa Miracles — While countless foreigners have been forced to pack up and leave the Middle East this past year, God made a way for us! Against all odds, He opened doors that no man could shut—custom-tailored miracles for each family on our team. While some are able to stay and others come in on a rotation, God's work continues!

In April 2025, a church member married to a Turkish man faced visa issues after converting from Catholicism to Christianity. Despite being forced to leave, her appeal was accepted, allowing her return to the church, where she expressed deep gratitude and hunger for God's Word. "The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.” – Psalm 126:3. Praise the Lord!

April 2025: A Vision Ignited —
It began with a simple, humble conversation—just a few voices discussing future goals and how to better equip God-called preachers across the Middle East and the world. But as the topic turned to translating and providing the best teaching materials possible, something sparked.

A flame stirred.

What started as a conversation quickly became a calling—a vision to place the sharpest spiritual weapons into the hands of God’s soldiers around the globe. And then, the confirmations began.

First came a visit—unaware of the previous discussion—offering encouragement and insight that aligned perfectly with the vision. Since that moment, the dominos haven’t stopped falling. One confirmation after another. Open doors. Provision. Direction.

Just as God stirred the hearts of His people to build the tabernacle—giving them wisdom, strength, and a shared purpose—we’re witnessing that same divine stirring today.

God is moving. The vision is alive. And the work has begun.

“Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab... all that the LORD had commanded... and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding...” – Exodus 36:1
