Stories from the field that testify to lives being changed by the Gospel.
High up in the mountainous border regions of Thailand are some of the least-reached people groups in the world.

Reached only by small dirt paths, barely wide enough for two lanes of foot traffic, reaching some of …
When COVID-19 struck Russia in 2020, atheism offered no meaningful answers for a people who had lost their sense of personal safety and security amidst the economic and health crises.

This is because rural communities …
In Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim country, Rica Rahim’s Christian friend stood out. He had “a life of peace” and was so happy—so at ease. Rica wanted to know why.
