these stories of the Gospel transforming lives encouraging and inspiring. Around the world, we are witnessing God open doors of opportunity for unprecedented Gospel impact!! In 2026 alone, EvanTell has trained over 100,000 disciples to advance the Great Commission by personally providing them with our “You Can Tell It” program; equipping and encouraging them to share the Gospel of grace-clearly and simply with others!
From North Texas to Mexico, Kenya to the Philippines and beyond, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: The Gospel is going forward, just as it did in the days of the early church-by God’s grace, through personal evangelism! And as EvanTell equips believers throughout the world to share the Gospel with confidence and clarity and encourages others to do the same, the impact continues to multiply. Our prayer request is the same as the Apostle Paul’s: “Finally, dear

[Multiplying] the Mission PARTNERSHIPS THAT MULTIPLY THE MISSION
4
EvanTell's vision has never been simply to reach one person, train one believer, or serve one church. The goal is multiplication. Across Latin America and around the world, strategic relationships with national church networks are creating opportunities to place simple, reproducible evangelism training into the hands of pastors and believers who can carry it much further. New and growing partnerships include the Baptist National Convention of Mexico, representing approximately 1,800 churches; the Peruvian Evangelical Church Association, representing approximately 900 churches; and the Baptist National Convention of Venezuela. These partnerships represent far more than organizational relationships. They represent thousands of local churches filled with believers who can be equipped to clearly share the Gospel within their families, neighborhoods, workplaces, and communities. And in Mexico, that multiplication is already taking shape.

20 Churches. 250 Volunteers. [One] Gospel. LATIN AMERICA MINISTRIES
6 6
In July, EvanTell trainers Gabriel and Marisol Ortiz gathered with pastors and evangelism leaders from churches across the Chiapas Coast of Mexico. Thirty leaders representing churches involved in the region's annual Evangelistic Crusades received You Can Tell It! training, preparing them to clearly and simply communicate the Gospel using EvanTell's Bad News/Good News presentation.
Mexico
Chiapas Coast The Chiapas Coast of Mexico stretches along the Pacific Ocean in the southwestern part of the state, featuring quiet fishing villages, mangrove estuaries, and long, undeveloped volcanic sand beaches.
7
Those 30 leaders are only the beginning. The Chiapas Coast Regional Baptist Convention's evangelistic initiative brings together approximately 20 churches and mobilizes at least 250 local volunteers for a week of relational Gospel outreach throughout communities including Tapachula, Álvaro Obregón, and Cacahoatan. Volunteers from local churches also serve alongside believers from other areas of Mexico, the United States, and Central America.

During the outreach, participating churches will use the Gospel-sharing method their leaders learned through EvanTell. The multiplication opportunity extends beyond this single campaign. Pastor Alejandro Luna Limón, national director of the Evangelistic Crusades Ministry, attended the training and expressed interest in learning more about EvanTell's resources and training. The ministry he leads is active throughout much of Mexico, coordinating believers across regions to take the Gospel into their communities.

From the Training Room to [Gospel Conversations]

Sometimes the clearest evidence that evangelism training is working happens after the training is over. On August 1, 56 believers gathered at Vida Nueva Para el Mundo in Querétaro, Mexico, for eight sessions of You Can Tell It! personal evangelism training. For many, it was their first time participating. By the end of the training, virtually the entire church leadership team and those involved in the congregation's evangelism ministry had been equipped during the year. What’s more, a group of young people took the training to the real world! Before going on a trip to the movies, they went to their local mall to evangelize. They had just learned how to explain the Gospel clearly and simply, and they were eager to put it into practice.
13
One training equipped 56 people. During the weekend, approximately 260 people were reached through the training and Sunday services, and 56 believers were equipped in evangelism. Discussions are already underway about continued training and potentially certifying someone within the congregation who can regularly equip new believers. One woman who discovered the training through social media described how deeply it affected her. She had long wanted to tell others about God but had never been shown such a simple way to communicate the Gospel. After the training, she was eager to return to her own church and share what she had learned. One training equipped 56 people. Those 56 now have the opportunity to reach far more. That's multiplication.

Caring for Those Who Carry the [Gospel] FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS
16
This October, EvanTell will return to Mexico with a different kind of mission. In partnership with the Convención Nacional Bautista de México, the National Baptist Convention of Mexico, a mission team will provide free health screenings for 600 pastors and their wives. Cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, registered nurses, medical assistants, and healthcare administrators from Mexico, Texas, and Virginia are coming together to care for men and women who spend their lives caring for others.
17
18
For EvanTell, this outreach is about much more than medical care. It is an opportunity for the body of Christ to strengthen, encourage, and love the pastors who faithfully carry the Gospel into communities across Mexico. As these leaders continue proclaiming Christ and equipping their churches, EvanTell is grateful for the opportunity to serve the messengers who are helping the Gospel go forward.

An Extrordinary [Open Door] ASIA MINISTRY 20
Manila, Phillipines
509 Students Place Their Faith in Christ in Manila: This summer, 18 students traveled to Manila, Philippines, expecting to share the Gospel. What they witnessed was extraordinary. Working alongside three local churches and pastors in Manila, the team visited universities and colleges throughout the city. Armed with EvanTell Gospel tracts and the You Can Tell It! method, they began conversations with students about Jesus Christ.
21
Again and again, they found people willing to listen. By the end of the mission: • 1,000+ people had been reached through evangelistic outreach • 800+ Gospel conversations had taken place • 509 students had made professions of faith in Christ • 18 students had been equipped and encouraged in personal evangelism 22
A mission trip may last days. An equipped Gospel witness can last a lifetime. The students serving on the mission were amazed by the openness they encountered. But the impact was not limited to those who heard the Gospel. Those who went to share it came home changed too. Seeing God work firsthand strengthened their confidence and their commitment to continue sharing Christ wherever He leads them, in their churches, on their campuses, and throughout their communities. This is one of the reasons EvanTell's model of equipping matters so deeply. A mission trip may last days. An equipped Gospel witness can last a lifetime. Please pray that the 509 students who professed faith in Christ will grow in their relationship with Him and become connected to healthy local churches. Pray also for new ministry partners throughout Asia and for continued opportunities to train believers to communicate the Gospel of grace with clarity and confidence.

Stories of Transformation From CrossTalk to a Street Church Frederick's Story Sometimes the Gospel moves forward one conversation at a time. Frederick was a homeless young man living in Nairobi, Kenya, when the message of Jesus reached him through an EvanTell CrossTalk tract. He heard the Gospel clearly and he placed his trust in Christ. But the incredible thing about the Gospel, is that it doesn’t end there. The hope he received became something he wanted others in his community to know too. Today, Frederick has begun what has become known as a Street Church, reaching children within Nairobi's homeless community with the same message that first reached him. What began with one tract and one young man is now moving outward to others. Frederick's story is a picture of what EvanTell longs to see everywhere: not simply people hearing the Gospel, but people who hear it, believe it, and begin sharing it themselves.
24
Two Girls, Two Bibles and A Gospel Conversation One afternoon after church in Kenya, an ordinary conversation became something much more. Using EvanTell's CrossTalk resource, a ministry partner shared the Gospel with two girls, Fatima and Sharon. The conversation ended with the girls committing themselves to follow Jesus. Then came another gift. Each girl received a Bible. Their reaction was unforgettable: they skipped and danced with joy. And that was not the only story unfolding. A pastor in the same ministry network shared that a Muslim husband and wife had recently placed their faith in Christ. They wanted Bibles but had none, so they prayed that God would provide them. Soon afterward, Bibles arrived. The woman was overjoyed to receive one. Stories like these remind us why Gospel resources matter. A tract can begin a conversation. A clear Gospel presentation can point someone to Christ. And a Bible placed into the hands of a new believer can begin a lifetime of growing in God's Word.

Reaching The [Next Generation] THREE LANGUAGES. ONE GOSPEL. 26
Turkana: Northern Kenya In the Turkana region of northern Kenya, sharing the Gospel comes with unique challenges. Communities such as Kochuch and Turkwel face deep poverty and significant social challenges. Churches are few, and local ministry leaders see an urgent need for the Gospel.
This summer, EvanTell training reached believers there in a remarkable way. Approximately 35 children, young people, and adults from two developing churches participated in You Can Tell It! Fundamentals training. But there was no Turkana-language workbook. So the training moved person to person. Gabriel Ortiz Rejón taught in English. Moseh, a Kenyan ministry team member, translated the teaching into Swahili. Then a local child translated it from Swahili into Turkana.
27
The languages changed along the way.
The Gospel did not. • 35 children, youth, and adults equipped • 3 LANGUAGES: English, Swahili, and Turkana • ONE MESSAGE: The Gospel, clear and simple
28 28
The training was almost entirely oral, yet participants learned and memorized the heart of EvanTell's Gospel presentation: the Gospel in 10 words, the elements of saving faith, and the Bad News/Good News method. Many participants are still learning to read and write, yet they carefully took notes and worked to understand the material. Then they practiced. And eventually, they went out and shared the Gospel in the streets. The two young churches are now being challenged to carry what they learned into surrounding Turkana communities. Moseh is also continuing to learn EvanTell's materials with the possibility of becoming someone who can train others in the future.

Children Sharing The [Gospel] CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
30
Some of the most encouraging moments from the Kenya training came from the children. Video from the ministry shows children learning to recite the Gospel in 10 words and memorizing the Bad News/Good News method. They weren't simply being taught Bible stories. They were being equipped to understand the Gospel and share it themselves. That matters in communities where there are few churches and few Gospel resources available in the local language. Today, the churches in Kochuch and Turkwel are still young. But their children and adults are already learning that sharing Christ is part of what it means to follow Him.

ONE GOAL. ONE GOSPEL. A MOVEMENT ACROSS NATIONS.
32
What began as an opportunity surrounding the 2026 World Cup became something much bigger. Through One Goal, EvanTell partnered with churches, conventions, ministry leaders, and individual believers across the United States and Latin America to prepare Christians to clearly and confidently share the Gospel during one of the world's largest sporting events. The results demonstrate the power of equipping believers and then sending them into the places where people are already gathering.
• 14,610 believers trained, encouraged, and mobilized
• 2,000+ churches involved in One Goal training
• 46 in-person and online training sessions
• 486 evangelistic outreach activities • 318,000 Gospel tracts distributed
33
From stadium areas and Fan Fests to plazas, parks, homes, soccer tournaments, neighborhoods, and everyday conversations, believers took the Gospel into their communities. In Mexico alone, One Goal tracts reached far beyond the World Cup host cities. Churches throughout Chiapas, Nuevo León, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Coahuila, and other regions responded to the opportunity. In Tapachula, believers shared the Gospel among crowds from Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Honduras who had gathered to watch a match.
34
The World Cup provided the moment. But the real goal was never soccer. It was preparing the Church to recognize an open door and step through it with the Gospel.
In Los Mochis, 130 young people were sent out with Gospel literature and challenged to begin conversations about Christ. In Ciudad Hidalgo, more than 250 believers completed evangelism training and went out that same day in teams to share the Gospel from house to house. And during a soccer tournament in Zapopan, the Gospel was presented to children, youth, coaches, and families. Twenty-one people expressed that they had trusted in Jesus as their Savior.
35
One Goal training and outreach extended across multiple nations.

One Goal: A Global Snapshot One of the largest training opportunities came through the National Baptist Convention of Venezuela. Despite challenges that included unreliable access to electricity, believers gathered in churches, homes, and other locations to participate. Through two online sessions, EvanTell trained 5,415 believers representing approximately 900 churches, with additional participants joining from Colombia and Mexico. The training didn't stop online. Participants committed to carrying what they learned into their communities and preparing for continued evangelistic outreach. One Goal may have been created around a particular moment. But the believers equipped through it will carry the Gospel far beyond a single season. 37
the Gospel moves forward A young person learns how to share Christ and takes the Gospel to a mall. A team of students enters universities in Manila and hundreds respond. Thousands of believers are mobilized during the World Cup. A woman walks into a pregnancy resource center and finds new life in Christ. Children in Kenya learn to explain the Gospel across three languages. Thirty leaders prepare 250 believers to enter communities throughout Mexico. A young man named Frederick goes from receiving a Gospel tract to reaching others on the streets of Nairobi. These are different places. Different people. Different circumstances. But they are all part of one story.
38
The Gospel goes forward when ordinary believers are equipped to clearly and simply tell someone else the good news of Jesus Christ.
