Transforming Uzbekistan One Believer at a Time
With her baby in her arms, Samiya (all names have been changed for security) welcomed people into her home for that day’s Bible study. Finally, when the last arrived, they sat together to study the Word of God. “These new believers are very happy to learn and understand the depth and richness of the Bible,” a local ministry leader said. “God continues to make Himself visible and move around this nation in this area.” Just one year prior, this village, located in one of the most remote, unreached parts of Uzbekistan, was as spiritually dry as its desert landscape. It wasn’t until a group of local missionaries began to pray for the people there that things started to change.

He was alone and desperate to reunite with his mother and sister, who had already relocated to Denmark. To join them, however, he needed to apply for asylum, obtain an ID, and get a passport. But he knew next to no one, he did not speak the language, and he did not understand the legal system. Tal was also nearly blind.

URGENT: Humanitarian Crisis Unfolding in Nigeria
Two years ago, Nigeria was Africa’s largest economy. People like Babatunde Afolabi, who spoke with the New York Times in June, worked to support his family by transporting people with his tuk-tuk taxi, which he owned. Life wasn’t easy, but they had enough. After his wife had childbirth difficulties, however, Babatunde was forced to sell his tuk-tuk to pay their medical bills. He found work in construction and, though the pay was far less than what he once earned, they still managed to get by. “We had no thoughts about starvation,” he told the Times.
