Today staff and friends are preparing for a first of its kind trip for The Outreach Foundation.

Associate Director for Mission Tom Boone took a few moments to record this greeting for our followers as he gets ready to lead a group that will depart in a few days for Armenia. There they will join our Persian Diaspora partners Radmard.

Radmard is a ministry which works with Iranian men from Muslim backgrounds as they heal from addiction and abuse. Leaders with that ministry are hosting a couple's conference that we have been invited to attend. We can't wait to see what God has in store for this trip and we will share updates as they come in.

Early this morning Kimmy Briggs, Associate Director for Mission for The Outreach Foundation, and trustees Lois Andrews, Lisa Culpepper, and Nancy Fox gathered virtually with women half a world away to worship, pray and share fellowship.

Ninety women traveled throughout Syria and Lebanon to be together for the annual Women’s Conference hosted by longtime partner of The Outreach Foundation the National Evangelical Synod of Syria and Lebanon (NESSL). Together, they sang, shared a devotional titled “Sing to the Lord Songs of Dignity,” and offered prayers.

While nothing will replace being in-person, we praise God for the gift to gather virtually and share in this special retreat. Our prayers remain with the women throughout this week.

The work of improving and repairing relationships between the various people groups in the Middle East is not an easy one, but our partners at Musalaha, which means reconciliation, have been making amazing progress.

Now, efforts at improving lives through their non-violence work is being made more difficult by the ongoing conflict that is raising tensions and fears between Palestinian and Israeli Christian, Muslim and Jewish people.

Even as the staff works through their own biases, fears and triggers, they walk together toward a hopeful future. The work is not easy, but it is blessed.

Please join us next Thursday at 11 a.m. EST for a virtual visit from our friends at Musalaha. Their work is a beautiful testament to the healing power of God. You won't want to miss this. Register using the QR code or click the link in our comments.

An Outreach Foundation trustee sent us this video he recorded on his recent trip to Mozambique. The gentleman in the video is an elder who wrote and performed this song of praise -- if you listen carefully you can hear him thanking The Outreach Foundation by name.

We are so grateful for our partners, and that even though we are sometimes separated by language, joy is a universal tongue! We praise God for this gift.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to engage with First Presbyterian Church of San Diego this past weekend. This welcoming church has a warm heart for supporting the restorative work happening in the South Sudanese refugee camps in Western Ethiopia. Through partners like FPC San Diego, trauma healing programs are available, bibles are being distributed and children are learning about the love of Jesus in children's education classes at the refugee camps.

We are so energized by the enthusiasm of our friends at First Presbyterian Church of Evanston!

The Outreach Foundation Associate Director for Mission Doug Stewart and our Iran Mission Consultant Sasan Tavassoli visited FPC Evanston this past Sunday to bring them news from the people of Iran. The pair shared stories of hardship -- but also hope -- from inside Iran, as well as what we here at The Outreach Foundation are doing to shine God's light into the country.

Iran is home to the fastest-growing underground church network in the world. People there are turning to Jesus during this dark time, and what an honor it has been to share their stories of salvation!

If you, like our friends in Evanston, want to learn stories from Iran you won't hear anywhere else, we encourage you to visit our Elam Awakening Appeal on our website, linked below.
