John’s church had always been supportive of missions. They sent teams to serve on short-term projects, and they gave generously toward global outreach. But John felt called to more. He wanted to go and live in the Muslim world. He shared his burden with leaders at his church and asked […]
The Memory of My Calling
I awoke to tropical animals whooping and birds greeting the day with melody and chatter. Stepping onto the balcony, I was taken breathless by all the life—trees upon trees with flowers and vines winding around everything. Compared to the Middle Eastern desert, this was like a super-oasis. It was our […]
Pray for Afghanistan
Afghanistan has seen plenty of violence. In January 2018, attackers targeted a military university located in the heart of Kabul, killing 11 soldiers and wounding 16. The attack came on the heels of a weekend bombing on a crowded street in Kabul. More than 100 people were killed and over […]
Many Generations of Faith
A sixteen-hour car ride from our city lives a family unlike any other I’ve ever met in this country. The Nasri’s are a family of Muslim-background believers. They love the Lord and care for one another as a church body. For several years, they’ve been discipled by fellow field workers […]

The Wonderful Word
“These words aren’t like what our Muslim leaders teach us,” said Reema, a widowed mother of five. We were sitting in her living room and talking about Jesus’ command to love our enemies. For several weeks, Reema and I have been discussing Scripture when we visit each other. She is […]
Streetside Bible Studies
Two months ago, my teammate and I sat with our Muslim friend Shafiq in the waiting room. The doctor had told Shafiq that his infected finger needed to be amputated. But we knew there was another option. We prayed in Jesus’ name, and God miraculously healed him! Shortly afterward, Shafiq […]
Vision Comes to Life
Seven years ago, Eric and his family launched into a new adventure with Frontiers. They left their home in America and joined a team in a region with high concentrations of Muslim people groups that have no one reaching them with the Gospel. Guiding this team is a vision to […]
