When Arvin and Cristina were prompted to take action, they found their calling.
During an annual week of prayer organised by OM in the Netherlands, one group of participants was left flabbergasted by a very quick answer to prayer.
A prayer for healing opened the door for a woman to hear about Christ's love for her.
In cross-cultural missions, there are many and varied ways to walk alongside a community. Some people use their profession; others use a business, sports, language classes, humanitarian aid or other tools. However, there is one practice that can never be missing and that forms the foundation of everything: prayer.
In Hong Kong, Jesus followers are committing to praying five times a day during the month of Ramadan for muslims around the world.
God is bringing all things together for good in the Caucasus, through His people, via one Colombian family willing to trust God and walk in His ways.
Arvin* and Cristina* are Colombians with a rich family heritage of Jesus followers. Starting married life in Ecuador, God then sent them to Kosovo, and subsequently to different parts of the Caucasus. No part of their painful, surprising, wonderful, prayer-rich experience has been wasted as they have trusted in God to reach out to others.
In the Caucasus, prayer opened the door for Arvin and Cristina to connect with people and share Christ's love.
In the UK, two OM projects build friendships with isolated Muslim women, potentially leading to gospel opportunities and small group Bible studies.
Lucas and Elena longed to share hope with a least-reached people group in the Northern Caucasus. They prayed and asked God to show them the way, and He did. Going before them with signs and wonders, God connected them to a person of peace.
Carlos and Blanca realised that there are very few tools for sharing Jesus within Orthodox contexts in the Caucasus. There are no resources specifically crafted to bridge that gap, no contextualised pathways to meaningful gospel conversations rooted in shared history and spiritual language.
A knock on a door opened a new friendship in the Caucasus. Hospitality comes with large expectations in this region, and it is not always easy to connect with neighbours. Yet that did not stop Juan and Sophia from trying. When they took a risk for the Kingdom, God met them with a plan already in motion.
