“The church continues to grow, even in the midst of internal conflict. Syria is a nation crying out for peace, healing, restoration, and true freedom.”
Amid fear and conflict, the church in Syria continues to grow. Pastor Maher S. from Homs shares how God is transforming lives and expanding His church—from 25 to 300 worshippers—despite tension and hardship. Pray with us for peace, unity, and strength for Maher, his family, and the ministry team serving faithfully in a nation longing for restoration.

Kyiv: Beauty and Brokenness
During a recent visit to Kyiv, I witnessed both resilience and heartbreak. We joined Ukrainians in prayer for peace, met President Zelenskyy, and stood with churches serving on the frontlines. Just days later, the city was struck by deadly attacks. As Ukraine endures suffering and loss, we remain committed to prayer, advocacy, and support for those longing for freedom and peace.
