Bringing Hope to Communities: How Local Churches and Missionaries Are Transforming Lives

Home > More Like the Kingdom > Bringing Hope to Communities: How Local Churches and Missionaries Are Transforming Lives

Across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, local churches are bringing life-changing hope to their communities, meeting both spiritual and physical needs. In places where resources are scarce, our network of over 540 missionaries is serving on the front lines, sharing the gospel, providing support, and meeting urgent needs.

Through these local churches and the dedication of our missionaries, real change is happening. This past year alone, we have planted 424 churches in places where there were none. These new churches are now providing a space for people to gather, learn about Christ, and receive vital support. The impact is clear in the lives of 5,539 people who have found hope in the gospel, and this transformative work continues to grow.

Meeting Needs and Sharing the Gospel

Our missionaries serve in some of the most challenging places. They spend their days connecting with people, praying, and sharing the message of Christ. They’re often the first people communities turn to for help, whether it’s providing food, clothing, or a listening ear. Beyond spiritual needs, our missionaries work to meet physical needs by creating sustainable initiatives like small business training and agricultural projects.

One example is a chicken project in a refugee camp that provides jobs and income for local families. Once, it employed only three people, but now it provides jobs to 10 refugees. Projects like this give communities stability and a chance to build a better life.

Reaching the Unreached

Even with this progress, thousands of unreached people groups Africa, Asia, and the Middle East have yet to hear the name of Jesus. This work remains essential as our missionaries bring hope to places where the gospel has not yet reached. Every church planted and every life touched is part of our mission to reach more communities and transform them to look more like the Kingdom.

How You Can Help

As the year comes to a close, we’re raising $200,000 to continue supporting our missionaries in the coming year. This funding is essential for our missionaries to keep building relationships, sharing the gospel, and meeting community needs.

Here’s how your gift can make an impact:

  • $200 will equip more missionaries with the tools they need to disciple their communities.
  • $125 will support the needs of our church plants, where people gather to worship and find support.
  • $75 will provide essential resources to help local leaders share the Good News.

Make a Difference Today

When you give, you’ll be part of a mission that brings hope to communities that need it most. Your support will empower missionaries to reach unreached people groups, expand the church, and bring both spiritual and physical relief to those in need.
