10/40 Hope

Three of us were able to go to Sri Lanka to meet with our coach there. He arranged for us to help train his network of churches and leaders with 11 different churches being represented. The trainings began on Saturday and continued Monday, Tuesday, and a half day on Wednesday.

These trainings consisted of basic tools about how to start Bible study groups that can form into churches in the future and how to develop additional leaders to do the same.

On Sunday, our team dispersed and went to 2 different churches to preach and minister to the people there.

Overall, this has been an incredibly successful trip and has been met with much appreciation and gratitude. Thank you everyone who has prayed for and supported this trip. We look forward to our next trip to Sri Lanka in the near future!

“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
‭‭
Today, we specifically celebrate our Savior being raised from the grave. This is the hope of our faith - that Jesus lives.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.

Today marks the beginning of Ramadan for millions of Muslims around the world.

For the next month, many will fast, pray, and seek to draw closer to their god with sincerity and devotion. As followers of Christ, it is also a time for prayer.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior, and that the Gospel is the only hope for every nation and every people. That includes the Muslim world.

During this season, would you join us in praying:

1. That the Lord would reveal Himself in truth and grace.
2. That hearts genuinely seeking God would encounter the risen Christ.
3. That Christians living among Muslim communities would have wisdom, boldness, and love.
4. That doors would open for the Gospel in places where access has been limited.

Many of the world’s unreached peoples live in Muslim-majority regions. We trust the Lord to draw people from every tribe, tongue, and nation to Himself.

Let us be faithful in prayer.

Merry Christmas!

Today, we celebrate the birth of the Savior.

Not for one people, one language, or one nation - but for the whole world.

From the city of David to every corner of the earth, this is good news of great joy.

One Savior. Every Nation.

That every nation would hope in Christ.

While Larnaca, Cyprus is technically a walkable area, it is proving to be necessary to have a vehicle. We are currently working on finding a vehicle that will meet our needs. We have found a vehicle we think will work, but still need to raise funds and ensure it will be a good fit.

Cyprus is already proving to be a strong launching point for ministry throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Through ministering to refugees, building relationships, and hosting future missionaries, opportunities continue to grow.

We believe that from Cyprus, we are now in a place that we can sustain long-term ministry in the MENA region.

My new book, Hope That Endures, has officially been released! This project has been a journey of prayer, reflection, and learning to cling to God’s faithfulness through every season.

I can’t wait to share it with you and pray it strengthens your hope as much as writing it strengthened mine.

Revelation is often treated like a riddle to solve—but it was given as a revelation of Jesus Christ to strengthen a pressured church. In these pages, readers will discover that the final book of the Bible is not about escaping tribulation but about enduring with hope. Ben Johnson takes readers th....

Story from the field:

One of our team members traveled to a nearby region to minister. While walking through the streets, he met a man with a neurological condition affecting his hand. The man had been in constant pain, and no medication or surgery had provided relief.

He asked if he could pray for the man and anointed him with oil. As he prayed, the pain left immediately. Sensing spiritual oppression, he began to rebuke an evil spirit. The man started to cough repeatedly and then became calm. He was free.

The man began to cry and said he felt healed and at ease inside. He said that Jesus healed what no doctor could.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

It is a common practice on Thanksgiving for people to take some time to discuss the things that make them thankful.

We are thankful for the Lord. He has continued to bless us, to show us grace and mercy, and to lead us as we labor to share the gospel with the world.

We are thankful for our work. It has many challenges, but it is full of purpose, value, and worth.

We are thankful for our team. The prayers, support, and encouragement that we feel every day help us push forward in our mission - that every nation would hope in Christ.

We are thankful.

“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.” - Psalm 118:1
