This Christmas, your gift has the power to penetrate a dark world with the gospel.
One third of humanity remains isolated from the life-changing message of Jesus Christ, dwelling in profound spiritual darkness. The need is vast, but together, we can illuminate the farthest corners of the globe with the hope and forgiveness found in the gospel.
In remote villages of Tanzania, something extraordinary is happening. The ABWE team and our national partners, through theological training and community outreach, are witnessing the power of the gospel to soften hearts and transform lives.
As they led an outreach event in one village, a group of Maasai tribal leaders filed into the back of the church and encircled the audience, gripping machetes. Refusing invitations to sit and join the assembly, the men scrutinized the instructors, demanding: “Tell us why you are here. Explain to us what you are teaching our people.”
The men listened intently as the missionaries and national partners began sharing the gospel.
“The Maasai head leader responded instantaneously,” missionary teammate Stephanie Boon shared. “Something gripped him about forgiveness, and he wept.”
Radically deviating from cultural norms, the leader sat sobbing for over an hour. “I have carried shame for my entire life, and I had no idea that I could ever be forgiven,” he said.
He trusted Christ that day, along with three other Maasai leaders and 55 others from the village.
“The way that the gospel hit him had a communal effect on the rest of the leaders and people,” said Stephanie. “It’s miraculous to see anyone come to Christ, but especially in this tribe. Men from the Maasai tribe tend to be more difficult to reach.”
This Christmas, would you join this team through a gift of any size? Your gift will not only support today’s missionary teams reaching 84 countries but will allow us to completely mobilize and onboard 14 new missionaries this year over and above our existing goal.
Your generosity can have eternal consequences—mobilizing enough new workers into the harvest for the team to witness, on average, as many as 40 baptisms in a four-year term.
The Global Gospel Fund is a catalyst for this mission, strategically equipping and supporting our missionaries to share this message of forgiveness across the globe.
We invite you to join us with a heartfelt offering to help us reach our goal of $200,000. Your contribution will propel forward our mission to proclaim Christ's love in uncharted territories and support the mobilization of new missionaries eager to serve.
The goal is ambitious, but our God is almighty.
Time is short. Eternity matters. As we approach 2024, we are steadfast in our commitment to share the message of hope and forgiveness to the unreached for the glory of our Lord.
