Sports In Ministry

In 2025, the New Cities Eurasia Strategy set out to reach 100 cities and 300 neighborhoods—and, by God’s grace, exceeded that goal.

India — Faith That Cannot Be Silenced

In a remote region of India, a small group of believers gathers in a dimly lit mud hut to worship quietly—ever aware of the danger surrounding them. Their former village was destroyed by a violent mob who burned their homes, leaving several dead and many injured. Those who escaped fled into the jungle with nothing.

Maybe it’s just the competitor in me, but I love the challenge that the apostle Peter throws down here: “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). This apostle wants us to have a spiritual growth mindset, to see this year as potentially our best year ever of following Jesus. In my experience, most…
