As families face ongoing attacks and displacement, local churches are opening their doors to provide practical help and share the hope of Christ. In Kyiv, one church has reached thousands of people through its ministry, and lives are being changed by the gospel. For more than 20 years, a pastor prayed for his mother to come to faith in Christ. Amid the uncertainty of war and personal loss, she began reading God's Word, trusted Christ, and was eventually baptized by her own son. Even as the war continues, God is at work through faithful churches and believers who refuse to stop sharing the gospel. Read this powerful story: buff.ly/ZL1s2rP

Making disciples involves more than introducing people to the gospel. It means helping them grow in their understanding of God’s Word and become firmly rooted in the faith. For new believers, learning the foundational truths of Christianity is an important part of spiritual growth. Throughout church history, creeds have helped Christians understand and communicate what they believe, providing a foundation for faithful discipleship. In this article, E.D. Burns explores how teaching new disciples to know and confess the Christian faith helps strengthen the church and prepare believers to stand firm in the truth. Read the full article: buff.ly/pIb1HZ3

Vida Nueva Church knows what it means to watch an opportunity disappear. The church once hoped to purchase a property for about $600,000, but before the funds were in hand, it sold. Today, comparable land in the Sol de La Molina valley is approaching $1 million. For a growing church that has never had a permanent home, that change matters. Instead of continuing to invest in temporary space, Vida Nueva is working toward something lasting: land that can support worship, Bible studies, counseling, leadership training, and future ministry opportunities. The believers at Vida Nueva have already given more than $110,000 of their own money toward this vision. Now we have an opportunity to come alongside them and help the church be ready when the right property becomes available. Will you help put permanent ground beneath this growing gospel ministry? Help secure a permanent home for Vida Nueva Church: buff.ly/QE9DzMC

In Ukraine, the war has changed nearly every part of daily life. But even amid ongoing attacks and uncertainty, God is at work. ABWE missionary Kristin J. continues serving students and local churches in Kyiv, where people are asking questions about faith, new believers are being baptized, and families displaced by war are finding community and hope in Christ. The challenges are real, but so are the opportunities to share the gospel. Kristin reminds us that much of ministry happens through daily faithfulness, walking alongside people and pointing them to Jesus.

Missionaries need a strong foundation in God’s Word and the preparation to serve faithfully when ministry becomes difficult. Training is not something that delays the work of missions. It is part of what prepares gospel workers to serve well and persevere for years to come. Before we send missionaries, we have a responsibility to help prepare them.

Does loving the local church distract us from reaching the nations? It should do the opposite. When believers are deeply committed to Christ, their families, and their local churches, they help build the kind of healthy congregations that can faithfully send and sustain missionaries around the world. Love for the people God has placed closest to us does not have to limit our concern for those far away. Instead, that love can overflow beyond our churches and communities as we carry the hope of the gospel to people who have never heard. See how a stronger love for the church can fuel a deeper love for the nations: buff.ly/sH2tsFd

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong anywhere? For missionary kids and third culture kids, “home” can be complicated. It may mean more than one country, family members thousands of miles away, or memories of places that no longer feel the same. In “Homesick,” missionary kid Eliana Mee shares how that longing has pointed her toward a deeper truth: no place on earth can fully satisfy the desire to belong. For followers of Christ, our true home is still ahead. The ache of homesickness can remind us that we were made for something eternal. Learn how an earthly longing for home can point us toward an eternal one: buff.ly/r0fQnzV
