"In the area where I serve, ongoing tribal conflict and deep fear of witch doctors shape daily life. Spiritual bo***ge is visible everywhere.

Recently, I walked six hours to pray for a friend. After we prayed together, he asked me to preach the next day. That day, eleven people believed in Jesus Christ. This was the beginning of what will become the fifth church God has allowed me to help plant.

Moments like this remind me that obedience, even when it is costly and tiring, brings fruit." — Pastor Pawlos, Church Planter, Omo Valley, Ethiopia

This is not the work of human effort alone. It is God moving in response to the prayers of His people.

Will you pray today for the church planters walking into unreached communities? Pray that their obedience would bear fruit that lasts?

Summer is here — and so is an invitation.

Not a vacation or service project. But a chance to witness the Gospel taking root in places where it's just arriving for the first time — and to come home forever changed.

This month we're sharing stories from people who went. What they experienced. What they carried home. And why they say every follower of Jesus should go at least once.

Fall trips are open. Ethiopia. Uganda. South Sudan. October 11 – November 14.

The same Spirit that fell on the believers in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago is still moving today — opening doors, sending ordinary people into hard places, and drawing entire communities to Jesus for the very first time.

Today on Pentecost Sunday and Day of the Unreached, join us in praying for the 3.2 billion people still living with little or no access to the Gospel.

"How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?" — Romans 10:14

This mission is for every believer — we all have a role to play in carrying it forward.

The mission that began at Pentecost is still unfinished.

Before the Spirit fell, Jesus left His disciples with a mandate:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."(Acts 1:8)

Right now, indigenous church planters are walking into communities with little to no access to the Gospel — carrying out the mandate Jesus gave to all believers: to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.

This Sunday, May 24 is Pentecost Sunday and we are believing for a powerful move of God. Join us in praying for the indigenous church planters carrying the Gospel into the hardest places — that hearts would be receptive and the Holy Spirit would fall like He did on the first Pentecost.

"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place… all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."(Acts 2:1, 4)

Pentecost was never just a moment in history. It was the beginning of a mission.

When the Holy Spirit was poured out, people from every nation heard the wonders of God in their own language. From that day forward, the message of Jesus was never meant to stay in one place — it was always intended for every tribe, every people, every nation.

And yet today, over 3 billion people still have little or no access to the Gospel. Not because they have rejected Him — but because no one has reached them yet.

Behind every woman who rises is a circle of women who held her up.

"Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up… A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." – Ecclesiastes 4:9–12

This Mother's Day weekend, we are sharing five stories of mothers who pressed forward when others might have stayed stuck.

When a woman rises, her family rises with her. Her church grows stronger. Her community is changed.

Because none of us rise alone.

❤️ this post if you're grateful for the women in your life.
