Missions doesn't look the same for everyone — and that's the point.
Our workers in Estonia are using every gift, hobby, and platform they have to build genuine relationships with the Estonian people. Café hours. Game nights. Knit nights. Coffee cuppings. Whatever opens a door.

Because real discipleship starts with real connection. God uses all of it.

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.
