Driving through a snowstorm in the dark, deep in the Muslim regions of Russia, a global worker and her husband questioned whether the trip had been worth it. They had wanted to visit a few families one last time before heading back to the States — but the conditions were brutal and the road was long.

When they finally arrived, they shared a meal with a devout Muslim family. It was a heavy moment watching the couple's 9-year-old daughter cover herself to perform the Muslim prayer ritual and proudly share that she had fasted for three days during Ramadan. But after the meal, as the men and women separated into different rooms, something beautiful happened.

The global worker was able to pray over Aisha, the wife, for healing in Jesus' name from the chronic pain she had long suffered. Meanwhile, her husband walked Aisha's husband through the entire gospel — and at the end, they prayed together, with a strong and unmistakable sense of God's presence filling the room.

It was a long drive through a storm to get there. But these are places where the name of Jesus has never been honored, and these workers count it a privilege to bring it. Please keep this family — and workers like these — in your prayers. 🙏

Micah and Taylar Smiley, serving in Tallinn, Estonia, have both resumed their language studies in an effort to grow in their ability to communicate in Estonian.

Their whole team has taken on more language acquisition with a big vision in mind — that one day even their small groups can be held entirely in Estonian.

Investing in language is investing in people, and the Smileys know that speaking someone's language is one of the most powerful ways to share the love of Jesus.

When global workers answer the call to serve, they don't just cross borders — they reshape their entire lives, including how they speak, how they think, and how they connect with the communities they are called to reach.

Global workers serving in Russia are seeing God move in incredible ways — including among the deaf community, an unengaged unreached people group (UUPG).

Please join in praying specifically for Vlad and Angelika, a couple being raised up to become workers among the deaf community in Russia.

Pray for their preparation, their calling, and that God would open doors for the gospel to take root in this unengaged community.

Micah and Taylar Smiley, Eurasia Northwest global workers serving in Tallinn, Estonia, had an incredible week leading up to Resurrection Sunday as their church joined together for a 36-day prayer initiative.

God did some amazing things during that time, all culminating on Easter Sunday! Join us in praying for the Smileys and their church in Tallinn.
