Refugee Family Trained for Evangelism Through Spanish Ministry
Jad* was a believer. His wife, Leila* was not. In their Muslim-majority North African country, Jad’s faith in Jesus put his life at risk every day. That’s why he kept his beliefs hidden from his Muslim wife, their children, and his wife’s strict Muslim family. To declare his faith in Christ would be catastrophic. But God was working behind the scenes even while Jad was oblivious to His plans. And soon, Jad’s life would be upended to further the Lord’s mighty work.

Urgent: Civil War and Starvation in Sudan
When shots rang out on the morning of April 15, 2023, Faheem*, a leader of a local ministry, ordered his family to hit the floor. Tensions remained high in Sudan after the alliance between two military generals had fallen apart two years earlier, and Faheem wasn’t taking any risks, even though most Sudanese had grown accustomed to the occasional overflow of violence into the streets. On this particular day, Faheem assumed the conflict would pass quickly, as seemed to be the case lately. But he soon realized everything was about to change. “We were all surprised at how the tension between the two groups escalated into war,” Faheem said. “No one was prepared for such circumstances.”

Brazilian Missionaries Visit Previously Unreached Tribe in Colombia
Ten years ago, an indigenous Colombian tribe fled their villages deep in the Amazon when drug traffickers and guerilla groups took over their territory, threatening them with death if they did not leave. In the chaos of the moment, their leader was killed, and the rest of the people attempted to create a new home nearer to a large city. But when—several months ago—three local missionaries from nearby Brazil trekked through the jungle to meet the tribe and assess their living situation, their continued destitution was evident. “They live in canvas tents and have no food,” one of the missionaries said. “It was very sad to see the situation in which they find themselves because it is of total abandonment. Everyone was very hungry.”

Bangladeshi Christians Face Christmas Eve Horror
As Christmas Eve dawned in Bangladesh, Christians—for a moment—tried to set aside the uncertainty and fear that has plagued the country since the political upheaval of several months prior and turn their attention to honoring the birth of Christ. But in a predominantly Muslim country, believers knew this day didn’t come without its risks. And in one village, Christians would learn that night just how deep the hatred ran against them.

URGENT: Help Support Indigenous Ministries in Syria
On December 8, a 13-year civil war came to an end when Syrian rebels swept into Damascus and took control of the city, forcing President Bashar al-Assad and his family into exile. The rebels, with ties to jihadist Islam, stunned the world with the speed of their takeover, and as liberated political prisoners poured from jail cells, people celebrated in the streets. As Christians look toward the future under the leadership of Mohammed al-Bashir, Syria’s interim prime minister, they question whether the future will, in fact, be better.

Muslim Woman Rejects Religious Expectations in Turkey
The woman who sat in the back of the church caught the ministry leader’s attention as he preached to the congregation. She was alone, but her head was covered, an indication that she was a strict Muslim. Her eyes were trained on him while he spoke, her stillness seemed to be an indication of how intently she listened to his words. She has come to complain about our presence here, the ministry leader thought. His hunch was rooted in events from the previous week, when a city official not only came to their church to oppose their worship, but he then also declared through every public means available to him—including television and newspapers—that he wanted the group of believers to leave town.
