In 2017, Fred traveled to Sri Lanka with a Global University team to train translators to use our translation system. Nine years later, these graduates are some of the fruit of that work.
The technology is the tool. Changed lives are the goal.

For Thiya, studying with India College of Ministry was her first opportunity for theological training.

She says the courses have drawn her closer to the Lord and taught her how to speak with wisdom, treat others with grace and live out her faith in everyday life. Now she looks forward to using what she has learned as she serves in care cell ministry with her church.

This is why Crystal and I do what we do. Technology is helping make biblical training available to people like Thiya and equipping them to serve Jesus where God has placed them.

Watch Thiya share some of her story in the video below.

And if you haven't visited our new HopeGives campaign yet, we'd love for you to take a look, pray for us and consider partnering with us as we continue Opening Windows Where Doors Are Closing.

1 John 4:16 ESV
[16] So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

One online search changed a young man's life forever.

Over the past year, we've shared how God is using technology to prepare believers in places where traditional Bible training is difficult or impossible. Our new HopeGives campaign begins with the story of one young man whose search for answers became a life-changing encounter with Christ—and how God continues to open windows where doors are closing.

As we prepare to return to Global University, we're launching this campaign to help complete the support and project funding needed for our next term of ministry.

If you've been encouraged by our ministry, we'd be honored if you'd take a few minutes to read the story, pray for us and consider partnering with us.

Sometimes the greatest barriers to discipleship are not physical walls, but distance, language, and access.

Technology cannot replace personal ministry, but it can help open windows where those barriers make access difficult.

Whether through online Bible schools, digital resources, or other ministry tools, we're grateful for every opportunity God gives us to connect people with biblical training and discipleship around the world.
