have done.” This verse captures the essence<br />
of our mission and the impact of giving.<br />

It was the summer of 1981. The sun be<strong>at</strong> down and the sounds of birds<br />
and insects filled the languid air around a lone evangelist on a bicycle.<br />
As he did every week, he was traveling 37 miles one way down rural<br />
dirt p<strong>at</strong>hs, busy streets, and muddy lanes <strong>to</strong> a small village. He arrived<br />
<strong>at</strong> a th<strong>at</strong>ched hut <strong>to</strong> disciple three believers. For the next six years, he<br />
would continue weekly visits until a church was established.<br />
Eventually, a dedic<strong>at</strong>ed church building was completed with a capacity<br />
of 50 people. An addition was recently built allowing 150 believers <strong>to</strong><br />
worship <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />
Shamalya* is a new believer who lives in a<br />
nearby village. She was possessed by an<br />
evil spirit until one of our partners prayed<br />
over her. The evil spirit left and she was<br />
healed. She accepted Christ in 2023 and<br />
was baptized in May 2024 <strong>at</strong> the church<br />
th<strong>at</strong> began over 40 years ago! (*Name<br />
changed).<br />
Through the Gre<strong>at</strong> Commission gift package, you are helping train<br />
the next gener<strong>at</strong>ion of ambassadors for Christ who are passion<strong>at</strong>e<br />
about bringing the Gospel <strong>to</strong> villages in need of hope. We may never<br />
know the impact over the next 40 years as young pas<strong>to</strong>rs are trained<br />
up <strong>to</strong> be the leaders of <strong>to</strong>morrow!<br />

Clean W<strong>at</strong>er<br />
“Before this, we didn’t have sufficient w<strong>at</strong>er, especially during the summer<br />
season... Please pray for our ministry also th<strong>at</strong> spiritually and physically we<br />
will grow in the coming days. Thank you very much!” -Eleazar, Children’s<br />
Ministry Direc<strong>to</strong>r of a small church in South Asia (pictured)<br />
The people previously<br />
fetched w<strong>at</strong>er from this<br />
swamp, which is the only<br />
w<strong>at</strong>er source nearby.<br />
Children went <strong>to</strong> this<br />
swamp <strong>to</strong> b<strong>at</strong>he, play, and<br />
then take w<strong>at</strong>er jugs home.<br />
They drank the w<strong>at</strong>er on the<br />
way home and became sick<br />
with typhoid. These wells<br />
are a source of physical<br />
life and spiritual life for<br />
hundreds of people in this<br />
community. Praise God!<br />

Lina’s husband went missing in Syria (most likely was killed) and soon after<br />
she left for Jordan <strong>to</strong> live with rel<strong>at</strong>ives. A couple of years ago, she moved <strong>to</strong><br />
Amman and heard about [our partners’] Church. Lina was so happy th<strong>at</strong> we<br />
visited her house. She wouldn’t s<strong>to</strong>p smiling the whole time we were there. She<br />
prepared a delicious meal and served us chai. She shared with us th<strong>at</strong> when<br />
she comes <strong>to</strong> a distribution, she feels something very different in her heart.<br />
She said th<strong>at</strong> the words the team shared with her brought her so much joy and<br />
peace. -Jon<strong>at</strong>han Grooms, GPPD President and Jordan Trip Leader<br />
