December Newsletter - Accelerate Evangelistic Growth Globally

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for your prayers for our India Trip

Amazing things have been happening in India since our trip there in Feb. of 2024. At that time, the 5 year-old movement in North India had 4,000 house churches. Now less than a year later it has over 7,000. This is an increase of 36,000 attending this multiplying network of house churches.Travel Schedule

Here's What's Next for us in India

1. Youth Training Trip - In Fall of 2025 we will return to India to continue Level 1 & 2 trainings. We will also add a young adult training component geared toward mobilizing Christians ages 18-26 to start Discovery Groups and House churches in their circles of influence.

2. We also hope to start sending direct evangelism and personal equipping trips over to help with starting new groups for young people. There is so much potential for impact.

3. Supporting 12 Micro-Business Projects that will enable House Church leaders with multiple churches under them. These businesses will generate income for their families so they can devote more time to ministry.  The businesses will also "pay it forward" to other leaders under them.

Want to join us in Mongolia in Spring 2025?

We are taking a team to Mongolia from April 25 to May 4, 2025. This trip will consist of both boots-on-the-ground evangelism by day, and church planter training by night. We are looking for team members who are willing to do discovery evangelism alongside translators and help us host the training meetings in the evening. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in joining us. We are opening up these spots first to our supporters and newsletter members.

For your prayers and planning, we anticipate a cost of around $4,000 per team member. Please also let us know if you'd like to donate toward the cost of another Team Member's trip.
Worcester grandchild #12: Emma Faith
Headed to Kaosiuing, Taiwan Jan. 12


Diane and I are headed to Taiwan January 12th to help with Andy and Cassia's growing family and Island's Church.  We are hoping to do some consulting with the new Islands Church and train ministry leaders while there.  Check out Youtube: AndyinTaiwan  and Islands Church  

 Prayer Requests

A new housing situation for John and Diane in Santee, CA, (a suburb of San Diego), where David just became the pastor of Pathways Church. Why the move? Diane is beginning to have some health challenges, so we will be moving in next door to David and Jessica.  Lord willing, we plan on building an ADU next to their house, which has an unusually large side yard for a suburb. Please pray for both remodeling their house and building our ADU, for wise decisions and favor with those involved in this process, and to guide us in the best health approaches and actionable applications for Diane.
