September 27, 2018

When her 4-year-old son disobeyed, the mother of two young children in North Africa would burn him with a hot knife. Sara* felt she was being lenient; when she was a girl, her mother had punished her with cuts from a cutlass heated over fire.

Gospel Creates Lives Peruvians Never Imagined

January 13, 2022
At a small nightclub in rural Peru, the blaring music was drowning out the message a local missionary was giving nearby at a three-day gospel event.

Gospel Moves in Kenya in Spite of COVID-19

December 9, 2021
The pastor of a native ministry’s church in Kenya was returning home from a visit with troubled villagers in the dark of night when four young men stopped him.

The Power of Scripture Shines in Iraq

November 18, 2021
The pope’s historic visit to Iraq in March presented massive security challenges, with all military and civil security forces taking stringent measures. Soldiers at checkpoints were instructed to seize the cargo of any transport vehicle, and before one major papal event they confiscated local missionaries’ carload of 1,000 Bibles. “The strange thing is that we met several people while walking in the streets carrying the same Bibles that we distribute, and when we asked them, they said that they got them from the checkpoint,” a ministry leader said.
