2024 Annual Report: God’s Global Work

ABWE witnesses God’s provision in historic ways as he works through his church around the world.

From Message magazine issue "Bold: Faith and Witness Where It Costs"

I never tire of seeing the gospel stride forward victoriously in the face of cultural upheaval, economic uncertainty, persecution, and spiritual opposition.

God is moving. New countries are opening to the gospel through ABWE workers. New field teams are forming—bringing the total number of nations where ABWE is serving to 91. And new missionaries are answering the call of God on their lives to go.

All glory belongs to God for the way he is working through his church.

In 2024, we also saw God’s provision in historic ways. For the first time in our history, ABWE surpassed $60 million in gross revenue—our largest financial year to date. But we don’t exist to chase numbers. These resources are simply tools— entrusted to us by the Lord and by his people—to send and sustain missionaries who are laboring to proclaim Christ; make disciples; raise up leaders; plant healthy, biblical churches; and meet human needs in Jesus’ name.

Pray with us that we would steward these gifts faithfully and that the Lord would continue to provide for the work ahead. The mission is not finished, and the challenges we face globally remain significant. But we believe this is a unique moment—an open window of gospel opportunity. Let’s not miss it.

Thank you for your generosity, your prayers, and your sacrificial support of the Lord’s work through ABWE. May the Lord continue to pour out from the storehouses of his grace everything we need to do his will.

As Hudson Taylor once said, “God’s work, done in God’s way, will never lack God’s supply.”

For the sake of his name among the nations,

Paul L. Davis
ABWE President
