From Fear to Faith: A Small Beginning Leads to a Big Breakthrough

In a region where sharing the Gospel can cost your life, one small step of faith sparked a movement.

Through prayer and partnership, local leaders are seeing unimaginable change – and it all began with a few believers bold enough to pray. This is their story… and your impact in it.

Not long ago, missionaries were afraid to evangelize in H-town because of hostility from the Muslim-dominated community. But after a season of focused prayer and collaboration among church leaders, everything began to change.

  • Intercessory teams rose up to pray fervently for their neighbors.
  • Churches moved beyond city walls to bring the Good News to nearby villages.
  • Missionaries were sent to places once considered off-limits.

The missionary later shared,

“We did not tell them to leave their community and come to our church. We told them to stay within their community – we would disciple them there, and they would then disciple others.”

Each time the team returned, they found new believers joining the discipleship journey. What began with two converts multiplied into many – a ripple effect of faith spreading through entire villages.

These are the kinds of breakthroughs your prayers and gifts make possible. When you go on mission with Partners International, you’re helping train and release local leaders who carry the light of Christ into spiritually dark and hostile regions – where the harvest is ripe and the window is narrow.

Thanks to friends like you, stories like this are becoming more and more common across the regions where Partners serves.

It often begins with a single step of faith – one missionary, stepping out boldly and multiplying into a movement of disciple-makers who are carrying the Gospel where it has never been heard.

And there are thousands ready to follow that same path of obedience.

Right now, 6,500 leaders are trained, vetted, and called to bring the hope of Jesus into the world’s hardest places. Your prayers and generosity can help send them.

And thanks to a generous $185,000 matching grant, your gift today can be doubled to reach even more souls with eternal hope.

So don’t miss your chance to have your gift doubled to shine light into the darkness and reach more people with the life-changing message of the Gospel.
