As we have reflected on the first half of this year, one word keeps coming to mind: gratitude. We are so thankful for God’s faithfulness and for the many ways He continues to answer prayer through this ministry. Because of your prayers and partnership, pastors and ministry leaders around the world are being equipped through biblical training, churches are being strengthened, and the gospel continues to advance.
