Niholi was suffering from severe breathing difficulties and restless sleep when Church Planter Sunita began visiting her community to start a prayer group. Sunita faithfully prayed with Niholi, and over time, Niholi experienced improvement in her breathing and was no longer troubled by sleepless nights. Those who knew Niholi were amazed by her transformation and became interested in learning more about Jesus. As the prayer group continued to grow, Niholi invited her relatives, neighbors, and friends to join, creating a regular gathering for prayer and Bible study. Today, 8 people meet consistently, and 4 members of the group have been baptized, demonstrating how God is using personal transformation to open doors for the Gospel.

Through AsOne’s farmer training program, he received practical agricultural training along with access to oxen and improved farming tools, transforming both his productivity and efficiency. Today, he can prepare an acre in just two days, enabling him to cultivate more land, increase his harvests, and strengthen his family's food security. The additional income has allowed him to invest in his children's education while building a more stable future for his family.

Tanu in Southeast Asia was a devoted Hindu when her life took an unexpected turn after being diagnosed with blood cancer. Following 18 chemotherapy treatments and 36 blood transfusions, she had lost hope of surviving. During this difficult season, Tanu heard the Gospel from a Biglife disciple maker, placed her faith in Jesus Christ, and began attending church, praying, and reading Scripture. Shortly afterward, a follow-up blood test found no trace of cancer in her body, bringing overwhelming joy and renewed hope. Tanu now faithfully follows Christ, and her testimony has also led her entire family to place their faith in Jesus.
Access to the Gospel in South Asia
55 new believers from one community get baptized together
This quarter, Christ in Asia equipped 375 indigenous church planting coordinators through 18 training groups across four countries in South Asia, expanding the reach of the Gospel in some of the world's least-reached communities. As these leaders launched and strengthened Discovery Bible Studies (DBS), 1,239 people began their discipleship journey and 357 individuals publicly declared their faith through baptism, including 55 new believers from one community. Ongoing coaching and field visits continued to strengthen local leaders, ensuring disciple-making movements grow sustainably and expand into new unreached communities.
Through the leadership of one iDMM Coordinator, a Discovery Bible Study was launched in a village with no known believers. As participants studied God’s Word together, they shared what they were learning with their families and neighbors, causing the group to quickly multiply throughout the community. Within a few months, 55 new believers from the same community publicly declared their faith in Jesus through water baptism, celebrating God's transforming work and inspiring the continued multiplication of disciples. During a leadership visit, the Christ in Asia team encouraged these new believers and equipped emerging local leaders to continue discipling others. Today, this community hosts multiple Discovery Bible Studies and serves as an example of how locally led disciple-making movements can transform families, villages, and generations.

Two communities become certified on their pathway out of poverty
This quarter, FARM STEW equipped families across seven countries with practical, sustainable solutions to overcome poverty through training in the eight ingredients of abundant life, household mentoring, and community-based initiatives. Across Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Uganda, Burundi, D.R. Congo, and Chad, 20 trainers delivered 775 training sessions in 64 communities, reaching 5,955 households and reinforcing learning through 3,136 household visits. The ministry also strengthened local resilience by supporting 53 Village Savings and Loan Associations, providing seed support, celebrating two communities achieving FARM STEW Home Certification, and welcoming 151 new participants into the Seed Class through the Virtual Learning Community. Together, these efforts are equipping families with practical skills in farming, nutrition, water treatment, enterprise, and healthy living that create lasting change for generations to come.
Just a few months ago, families in Bukaya Central Village relied primarily on cassava and sweet potatoes, while the land surrounding their homes remained largely unused. After receiving FARM STEW training and vegetable seeds, Mama Sarah encouraged her neighbors to establish home gardens that quickly began producing spinach, kale, and peas within just three weeks. These gardens expanded families' access to nutritious foods and demonstrated the immediate impact of practical agricultural training. As more households adopted home gardening, once-empty yards became productive sources of food, strengthening both household resilience and community well-being. Today, Bukaya Central stands as a compelling example of how donor-supported training and resources can create lasting, community-wide transformation.

Through Neverthirst’s local partners, communities are gaining access to safe water sources closer to their homes, creating meaningful improvements in daily life. Halima, a mother of 10, once spent 6–8 hours each day traveling by donkey to collect water for her family. Today, her entire village has access to clean water, reducing average water collection time to just 10 minutes per household and allowing families to invest more time in education, work, and other opportunities.

Krishna, a Disciple Making Movement catalyst, works at a local hotel and begins each day praying that God will lead him to a Person of Peace. Three months ago, he noticed his coworker Veena was discouraged and learned that she was carrying the burden of supporting her family while her husband struggled with alcoholism. Krishna shared the story of the Prodigal Son and prayed with her, offering her hope and peace during a difficult season. Veena began attending a Discovery Bible Study near her home, placed her faith in Christ, and was baptized. She has since started a DBS in her own home and helped launch two additional groups, demonstrating how transformed lives can become catalysts for multiplying discipleship throughout the community.

After the death of her husband, Ritha faced the overwhelming challenge of raising four children alone in the Saseni watershed, uncertain how she would provide for their future. Through a neighbor's invitation to a Purpose Group, she gained practical training, supportive relationships, and the knowledge to restore both her land and her family's livelihood. By planting trees, diversifying her crops, and adopting sustainable farming practices, Ritha transformed her farm into a more productive and resilient source of income. Once isolated by grief and uncertainty, she is now a respected leader in her community, living with renewed confidence and hope. Today, Ritha credits Plant with Purpose and its supporters with helping restore not only her land, but also a brighter future for her family.

11,000+ New Believers and 700 Baptisms Since Launch
This quarter, Project Twelve’s new disciple training and church planting initiative continued their training across Southeast Asia. Although many of these initiatives are still in their early stages, the fruit is already evident. Since launching, these efforts have resulted in more than 11,000 new believers, 700 baptisms, and care extended to 104 orphans and vulnerable children and 187 widows across the region. These early outcomes reflect the beginning of a multiplying movement across Southeast Asia.
Mita passionately embraced the call to share the Gospel after experiencing the transforming love of Jesus. Though she once carried deep pain and insecurity, God gave her a burden for a village known for brokenness and home to many of her relatives. Traveling 10 kilometers each week, Mita faithfully shared about Christ, and by God’s grace, a church was planted there in 2025. Her cousin Elizabeth was among those transformed, finding forgiveness and freedom in Jesus. She began sharing her testimony, gathering friends to pray, and leading a fellowship that grew from four people into a community devoted to Scripture, prayer, worship, and life together. Through their faithfulness, a new generation of disciples is carrying the Gospel forward.

190 New Savings Groups Launched with 4,570 New Members
This quarter, Seed Effect launched 190 new savings groups, expanding its reach to 4,570 new members while continuing to support existing members across eight branches in northern Uganda. Since 2017, the organization has served 134,010 members through 4,905 savings groups, providing access to economic empowerment, education and spiritual discipleship. In addition to expanding its savings group network, Seed Effect strengthened program quality by rolling out its updated Conservation Agriculture curriculum.

Seed Effect also invested in leadership and spiritual capacity by sending its Country Director to a Disciple Making Movement training in Nairobi, equipping leadership to further integrate faith-based discipleship into its community development work.
At each meeting of the Kica Ber Seed Effect Savings & Loan Group, Tonny counts the savings and loans that are helping transform his community. After completing Seed Effect's savings and business training, he used his first loan to buy and resell two goats, believing he should put the money to productive use rather than let it go to waste. That investment grew into a thriving livestock business, allowing him to purchase oxen, expand his farm, and earn additional income plowing neighbors' fields. Today, he can pay his children's school fees, cover medical expenses with confidence, and provide greater stability for his family. Reflecting on his journey, Tonny says, "My life is good now, and I am no longer struggling."

For years, 28-year-old Maria Godfrey Shija from Bugogo Village in Tanzania’s Shinyanga Region walked nearly 1.24 miles each day to collect water from an unsafe source shared with livestock. The contaminated water frequently caused stomach illnesses and fevers, affecting her family’s health and limiting their ability to work and provide for themselves. In 2026, WFG’s WASH program transformed her community by providing hygiene and sanitation training and installing a safe water point near her home. Today, Maria’s family has reliable access to clean water, improving their health and creating new opportunities to earn an income through farming. Reflecting on the change, Maria shares, “Having water near home changed everything. Our health has improved, we earn an income through farming, and we now have hope for a better future.”
