“Every day the Lord added those who were being saved to the group of believers.” — Acts 2:47

God is still adding people to His Church across East Africa.

“A woman whose hand had been paralyzed for months has been healed. Because of her healing, five people came to the Lord.” — Church Planter, Ethiopia

“My garden gave us enough maize to eat and even share with my neighbor who was sick.” — Women’s Empowerment, Uganda

Healing. Provision. A harvest big enough to give away. Small stories, but the same faithful God behind every one.

Join us in giving thanks for what God is doing across the field. 🙏

What happens when a church begins to see the people around it?

It sees the widow who needs care.
It stands with families seeking restoration.
It serves beyond the walls of the church.

This is what we hope every church plant can become: a Community Hub of Hope.

Swipe through to see what that looks like through the story of Pastor Otim and the churches God is building through him.

Read the full story: https://petrosnetwork.org/a-church-that-sees-its-community/

It started with one church and a simple vision: preach the Gospel and help families find freedom in Christ.

Today, Pastor Otim has planted a network of eight churches caring for hundreds of widows, orphans, and other vulnerable people in their communities.

Along the way, he has seen people turn to Jesus, drunkenness decrease, and churches step beyond their walls to care for the people around them.

This is what happens when the Gospel takes root.

“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” — Matthew 9:37

3.6 billion people live in people groups with little or no access to the Gospel.

And yet, across these communities, God is already raising up indigenous leaders who are willing to go to their own people.

What many of them need is training.

When leaders are equipped, they can go, plant churches, make disciples, and carry the Good News to communities where it has yet to be heard.

Pray for the laborers. Pray for those equipping them. And pray for those still waiting to hear the Gospel.

What began with one friend’s need for prayer has grown into a community gathering to worship Jesus.

Read this unexpected story from one of our church planters: https://petrosnetwork.org/a-6-hour-walk-that-birthed-a-church/

Seven years ago, David preached in a remote village, and 70 people gave their lives to Christ.

But the story didn’t end there.

While some fell away, David stayed. He continued to pray, disciple, and build relationships. Today, three thriving churches stand in that same region.

David’s story is a reminder that faithful investment can reach much further than we can see.

What we invest in today can continue to make an impact long after we’re gone.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” — Romans 10:15

Paul didn't call those feet beautiful because of where they'd been. He called them beautiful because of what they carried.

Today, indigenous church planters are carrying the Good News of Jesus to communities where the Gospel has yet to be heard.

As the Gospel takes root, churches are formed and multiply.

Lives are transformed, families are strengthened, and communities experience lasting change.

Pray for the feet still carrying the Gospel today.
