Help Find And Vet Native Ministries
Evangelism is often effective when native missionaries establish trust with those to whom they want to share the gospel. For many Christian workers, this means integrating into communities through local jobs, such as in government or healthcare; teaching their neighbors important skills such as how to successfully grow vegetables or raise animals; or simply being their friend. Through missionaries’ acts of kindness, the lost learn of Christ’s love. Please consider a donation today to assist Christian Aid Mission to find and support native Christians such as these, whose ministries are furthering the kingdom of God every day. Pray that hearts will be open to hear the good news of Jesus.
Teach New Believers Evangelism Techniques in Iraq
As the number of new believers increases, one native ministry has begun to organize trainings that teach about following Christ and obeying Scripture, as well as evangelism techniques. About 20 attendees at one of the recent training sessions live in areas under strict religious law and must serve the Lord and evangelize in total secrecy. “The Lord blessed us this year also with so many souls from a Muslim background who surrendered their lives to Christ,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $60 or $120 help disciple new believers. Pray the Lord’s protection over those who must worship Him in secret.
Share The Gospel’s Salvation Story in Guinea
The chief of a village in which Christian workers had planted a new church hated its presence and made frequent threats that he would have it removed. But when his wife became seriously ill, the chief asked the church pastor to pray for her. As the pastor and his prayer team prayed over the young woman, she opened her eyes and asked for water. Her miraculous healing caused the chief to repent, and he as well as many in the village gave their lives to Christ. Your donations support Christian workers as they aid their neighbors in service to the Lord. Pray for their continued perseverance in their ministry work.
Lift Up Christian Workers in South Asia
When workers from a native ministry were called on to help a man who had begun to act in an unusual manner, they anointed him with oil and prayed over him. A few days later, he returned to his normal self. In another place, a woman was told she would not survive after both her kidneys began to fail. But church members gathered and prayed for her, and she was healed. “Praise God for His wonderful miracle,” the ministry leader said. Donations help support missionaries as they disciple those who are lost or suffering. Pray that their faithful service to the gospel will be a testimony to their communities.
Advance Christ’s Kingdom Into Remote Places in Argentina
By walking or via motorcycle, native missionaries with one ministry visited and evangelized in several rural communities, including in remote and inhospitable mountain villages. Through storms and hot weather, and undeterred by roads thickened with mud, these Christian workers preached Scripture, provided Bible training to local tribal leaders, and baptized and discipled new believers. “They always carry the precious Word of God to the unreached,” the ministry leader said. Donations support missionaries in their evangelism work. Pray that the Lord will sustain native workers in all circumstances.
Help Refugees Find Joy in Spain
An 8-year-old refugee girl who suffered severe trauma, including sexual abuse, was permitted by her Muslim family to attend a native ministry’s children’s program and Sunday school. After several months, her father commented that she was noticeably changed and full of joy that he couldn’t explain. Her mother, too, was in awe, asking what had happened to her daughter. “The Spirit of God is working in her and at eight years old she is a testimony to her parents,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $35 or $70 are needed to support Christian workers in their work with refugees. Pray that families will be united in Christ through the gospel message.
Share The Grace Of Christ in Sierra Leone
When ministry workers with one ministry met a pregnant teenager who lived on the streets, they learned she had fled her home to avoid marriage and female genital mutilation. They presented the gospel to her during an outreach event, and she joyfully accepted Christ. The church became her adopted family and even helped her with her medical bills after she gave birth. Now, as her twin sons are growing up, she attends church every week, and she reconciled with her family. “To God be the glory, her life has been tremendously transformed,” the ministry leader said. Your gifts of $25 or $50 help missionaries who organize evangelism events. Pray that lives will continue to be transformed by the gospel.
Support Missionaries’ Gospel Work in the Philippines
To establish effective church plants in new villages, native Christian workers first integrate into the communities through helping the people create sustainable economic ventures. Missionaries provide farmers with fertilizer, seeds, beans, and tools, as well as livestock such as hogs, goats, or chickens. “Our goal is to plant viable Bible-believing churches in these people groups,” the ministry leader said. “That viable church will continue to do the ministry of spreading the gospel to their own people group first then extend to other ethnic groups.” Your donations of $60 or $120 help native workers plant churches such as these. Pray that the Lord encourages and strengthens these new fellowships.
Strengthen Persecuted Families in Pakistan
A native ministry provided immediate assistance to Christian families who were attacked by an angry mob and who suddenly found themselves homeless and without any basic necessities for life. The ministry provided cooking and eating supplies and temporary housing and meals, and they also distributed Bibles to those who lost theirs to the mob’s attack. “We want to support the helpless and hopeless as God provides,” the ministry leader said. “We encourage them by sharing the Word of God with them and praying.” Donations of $25 or $50 help minister to persecuted Christians. Pray that they will hold firm to their faith in the midst of these trials.
Support Discipleship Efforts in Israel
A young, single mother who struggled with severe anxiety began attending a mid-week Bible study and, as she became more involved, she saw her need for Jesus. The church members embraced her and, after a while, she chose to follow Christ and was baptized. Her testimony is just one of many from this native ministry’s work, which also includes outreach to Holocaust survivors who express interest in the gospel, and discipling young adults. Workers need donations for outreach and discipleship. “Pray for wisdom from above that will help us to know how in the most effective and efficient way to use our scarce resources to advance the cause of the gospel,” the ministry leader said.
