After one particularly bad beating, with no money or work experience, Nasrin moved back home and immediately…

It is with great honor and appreciation that we report on the ways in which together we were able to impact the lives of 137 men and women who were actively involved in the study of God’s word in the pursuit of a BA in Theology, or a MA in Biblical Studies at our Bible College located in Zambia.

Yan P. is a young pastor from a small town in Ukraine’s Cherkassy region. In 2016, he planted a church for people who were recovering from addictions—drugs and alcohol—as well as people recently released from prison.

“I want to serve God like an instrument,” says Jardel, looking down at the small, solar-powered device in his hand. The mini audio player is no doubt one of his most prized possessions. He carries it along with his Bible to spread the Gospel. “We have the habit of picking up the Bible with just one hand, right? I took it with…
In my recent letter, I introduced you to Wycliffe, an indigenous missionary and Area Leader. Last week, I was with him in Ethiopia as we met to see the ministry that God is doing, strategize for future growth, and train/encourage about 50 young African professionals who have sensed God’s call on their life for missionary service to reach unreached tribes in the…

God placed the desire on Bita’s heart to start an institute for children with disabilities, which she named the…

Because of the Bolick Foundation and other givers, IMB was able to deliver hope, help, and…
Today, 3 billion people are unreached. If nothing changes, it will take centuries for them all to hear the Gospel. At Reach A Village, our inspiration comes from the words of Jesus in Mark 1:38, “Let us go somewhere else — to the nearby villages — so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” Instead of remaining in…
