Reaching those who don’t know Jesus
Dear friends,
As we reflect on this past year, my heart is filled with gratitude and awe at what God has done — and continues to do. We are particularly encouraged by the increase in young people going on short-term outreaches, and can see the faithful hand of God at work. This movement wouldn’t be possible without you — our partners in prayer, giving and service.
The call to go to the ends of the earth with the message of Jesus is as urgent today as it was when Christ first commissioned His disciples. 3 billion people live with limited access to the gospel, without the knowledge that they are loved, seen and valued by their Creator. Yet, last year, your support helped us press on in God’s mission by equipping and sending out believers to form vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the least reached, while also offering practical aid, thereby reflecting God’s love in action.
None of this would be possible without the strength of the partnerships God has forged among us. Your prayers have
sustained workers around the world and your giving has empowered ministries where resources are scarce.
As we look forward, the vision remains clear — to reach the least reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We press on, not in our own strength, but anchored in the promise that “this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations” (Matthew 24:14).
Thank you for journeying with us and being part of a global movement to make Jesus known. And thank you for believing, with us, that no person is too far for God’s love to reach.
In Christ,
CHRIS LAWLEY, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
