When conflict broke out in the Middle East earlier this year, the English Language Congregation (ELC) in Bahrain gathered online for the first six weeks of the war. Setting aside offerings during that uncertain season, the congregation chose generosity — increasing their commitment to provide food, housing, and practical care to those in need both inside and outside their community.
Then came Easter Sunday. Meeting in person for the first time in weeks, the ELC gathered to worship — and to witness something remarkable: dozens of new believers were baptized and professed their faith in Jesus Christ.
This is the gospel in action. Thank you for praying for, encouraging, and financially supporting the ministry of missionaries like Blaine Newhouse and the ELC in Bahrain. Stories like this one are made possible by your faithful partnership. 🙏
