doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.
1 Corinthians 9:22-23 NLT
As we enter into the second half of our missions year, our commitment to making an eternal impact through the preaching of the gospel and providing practical assistance remains steadfast. Echoing Paul’s words to the Corinthians, “doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings”, we continue to pursue our mission with renewed vigour and purpose.
Over these coming months, together we are continuing our global outreach efforts, not only planting churches but also focusing on sustainable community development. We recognise that our contributions are crucial in empowering church planters and supporting those who provide essential care and assistance in various communities.
These impactful initiatives are fuelled by your generosity in Canberra, Melbourne, Phoenix and Sydney. Through our Faith Promise giving, we continue to step out in faith, trusting that God will work through us to create lasting change in nations worldwide.
As you take time to read through the impact we have had so far this year, we pray you would be inspired and encouraged that together we are truly championing his cause!

BURUNDI
Sister Connection
12 Widows Homes
Through your support, widows and orphans in Burundi are moving from desperate conditions into safe homes of their own. This year, our goal is 200 homes, and you are helping to provide 12 of them this year. You’re not just building houses, you’re building futures, dignity, and connection with Jesus. Thank you for standing with these women and children.
CAMBODIA
New Life Fellowship
12 Wells & Church Planter Training
Greetings from Cambodia!
Because of your support, we’ve been able to provide clean water wells across communities where families often survive on less than $5 a day. Water that once cost more than they earned is now freely available, and lives are being transformed.
We’ve also been able to train 35 pastors and church planters, equipping them to go back into their villages and share the gospel. Thank you for giving water, hope, and life in Jesus’ name.
Indonesia
Mercy Indonesia
Church Planter Support & Radio Stations
Greetings from Bali! This year alone, we’ve planted 50 new house churches and baptised many, including seven Hindus just last week! Revival is breaking out here in Indonesia.
Our radio stations are reaching entire provinces, and we’ve even started Bible schools inside prisons. Imagine it, prisoners being trained as pastors right where they are. Thank you for standing with us in this harvest season, your support is fueling revival.
LESOTHO
Sepheo
Education
At Sepheo, we work with some of Lesotho's most vulnerable and excluded people. For 12 years, we’ve been rescuing children from the streets in Lesotho and helping them reconnect with family. With your help, kids are catching up on their education, healing from trauma, and growing in love and security.
It’s not just the kids, recently, at a caregiver training, 80 parents gave their lives to Jesus in one day! Every time we face an “impossible” situation, we remind ourselves, this is exactly where God shows up. Thank you for standing with us in the hard places.
Together, we’re seeing miracles.
Mexico
Open Arms
Keeping Families Together
Hola church family! We’re Heidi and Daniel from Open Arms in Baja California. Thanks to you, 200 kids are safe, loved, and now receiving a Christian education at our new Open Arms Academy across all three campuses!
We also just got back from Cuba, where we bought a moped for pastors so they can keep planting churches and visiting their people. We’re so grateful for your prayers and support. Every time we see these kids laughing and learning, we know it’s because of God working through you.
URUGUAY
Segio and Siobhan Reinhard
MISSIONARY SUPPORT
Hi INChurch, we’re Sergio and Siobhan, serving with our three kids in Uruguay the most secular country in South America, with the highest suicide rates on the continent. It can feel heavy at times, but our hearts beat for this city and its young people.
Over the past two years, we’ve been raising awareness on human trafficking, serving on the board of one of the few Christian schools here, and planting a church that now has about 50 people. We started with services in our apartment, and now we’re seeing lives transformed, marriages restored, people healed, and even a man who was living on the streets now working, housed, and preparing to be baptised.
We’re seeing God move in powerful ways, and we are so thankful for your prayers and support, it’s making a real difference here.
NEPAL
Destiny Rescue
Child Rescue
Hi everyone, I’m Rachel, part of the Destiny Rescue team in Australia. Because of your generosity, this year alone we’ve rescued 1,012 children from being trafficked across the border of Nepal. That’s 1,012 lives who now have a future and a hope instead of a life of exploitation.
One story close to my heart is Trisha’s. She was almost trafficked but was rescued in time and now she’s on our team, helping others find freedom. Stories like hers remind me why this work matters so much. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re bringing redemption and hope where it’s most needed.
SIERRA LEONE
Rabboni Missions
Education
In Freetown, Sierra Leone, we collaborate with Rabboni Ministries to focus on the critical areas of education and child support. This initiative recognizes the transformative power of education in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for future generations. By providing educational support, we are equipping children with the knowledge and skills needed to build better lives for themselves and contribute positively to their communities.
The support provided extends beyond just academic education, including aspects such as school supplies, uniforms, meals, and even infrastructure support for local schools. Additionally, the child support component involves addressing other needs such as healthcare, nutrition, and social services. This comprehensive approach to supporting children in Sierra Leone demonstrates an understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by young people in developing nations and a commitment to nurturing their overall well-being and future prospects.
VIETNAM
ACC World Relief
Heart Surgeries
Hi everyone, we’re Kelvin and Rebekah in Vietnam. Your generosity has blown us away. You committed to funding 12 heart surgeries for kids this year, but because of your giving, we’ve been able to help 22 children so far!
Some had to be airlifted to Hanoi for specialist operations, and today they are alive and thriving because of you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sacrificing, giving, and believing with us. You are saving lives.
Democratic Republic
of the Congo
CELPA Hospital
Feeding Prisoners, Medical Care, Vocational Training
In Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, multiple projects are underway to address various community needs. The primary focus is on providing essential medical care through a hospital and the construction of a new maternity ward in Nyantende. This expansion of healthcare facilities will significantly improve access to medical services for the local population, particularly benefiting expectant mothers and newborns.
Whilst we intended to provide food support to prisoners in Bukavu due to the recent unrest in the area and invasion from the M23 militia our priorities have shifted.
We have assisted with emergency food support and other medical care helping to bring relief in the midst of crisis.
KENYA
Wings of Compassion
Young Mothers Care
In Nairobi, Kenya, We care for young girls, many just 10–15 years old, who have survived unthinkable abuse and trauma. It hasn’t been easy, but God has been faithful.
Recently, He gave us a miracle, a permanent piece of land for our rescue home! We’ve started renovating and building, though we still have needs for housing. More than anything, we’re building a family for these girls. Here, they don’t just find shelter, they find parents, brothers, and sisters.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
INDIA
Eye Openers
Cataract Surgery
Greetings church, I’m David from Eye Openers International in India. Over the last three months, our team has seen 29,000 patients, given out 5,000 glasses, and performed 500 cataract surgeries, restoring sight to people who were blind. What a joy to watch them see again!
We also had a miracle, our tax-deductible status in India, which was under threat, has now been secured for another five years. That means every dollar you give goes straight to helping people. Thank you for your financial support, your prayers, and your encouragement it means more than you know.
ISRAEL
KING OF KINGS CHURCH
CHURCH PLANTING SUPPORT
King of Kings Community was established in Jerusalem in 1983 and now has congregations throughout Israel. In 2025, we are helping them establish "Kehilat HaTzur" (Congregation of the Rock), a new Hebrew-speaking congregation in Beersheba. The congregation is led by a pastor who works as an engineer for the Israeli government. Our support will help provide sound equipment, venue rental, hospitality, and resources for children's classes for this developing community.
MIDDLE EAST
Missionary Support
In an undisclosed location in the Middle East, we support an Australian missionary family engaged in vital outreach work. Their efforts extend beyond their immediate location, reaching out to surrounding nations with the gospel message. This work is particularly significant given the sensitive nature of religious activities in many parts of the Middle East, requiring discretion and cultural sensitivity.
A key aspect of this mission is the support provided to local pastors, which helps to strengthen and sustain indigenous Christian communities. By empowering local religious leaders, our partners contribute to the long-term sustainability of Christian faith and practice in the region. This approach of working through and supporting local leaders helps to ensure that the outreach is culturally appropriate and can have a lasting impact.

Hi church, I’m Beck, CEO of the Love Mercy Foundation. In northern Uganda, we’re seeing incredible transformation. Because of your support, 250 women joined our Seeds program this year. They took a 15kg bag of seeds and harvested over 100kg feeding their families and even replanting for a second season!
It’s amazing to watch these women step into independence after so many years of poverty and war. Thank you for standing with them you are literally changing their story.

Narel & Alison Atkinson / AOG SRI LANKA
Alokaya womens conference & church planting
Narel and Alison Atkinson are dedicated missionaries with extensive experience serving in Sri Lanka. Their comprehensive ministry focuses on pastor's training, discipleship, mentoring, and supporting local church health. They collaborate with both AOG churches and interdenominational churches throughout the country.
Our support will directly contribute to Alison's "Alokaya" Women's Conferences, which she has organized bi-annually since 2012. These significant gatherings bring together approximately 2,000 women pastors and leaders in the Eastern Region. The conferences aim to encourage and empower women to fulfill their God-given potential and callings.
Additionally, we are providing separate funding to the local AOG to specifically support the planting of three new churches in strategic locations across Sri Lanka.
