For the earth will be filled
Habakkuk 2:14 ESV
with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.”
As we enter a new year, I want to pause and thank you for helping advance the gospel in 2025.
Because of partners like you, workers were sent into some of the world’s most unreached places. We saw new believers baptized, churches planted, leaders trained, and the truth proclaimed in communities with little witness.
This is not our mission but the Lord’s work entrusted to his church. Our Lord has promised, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). We believe that promise holds across all nations—Christ will build his church. And he has given us the immense privilege of taking part in that work—the very means he uses to proclaim the saving power and lordship of Christ to all peoples. Not for our glory or the growth of our own name or tribe, but for the glory of God in Christ. Hallelujah—what a promise to rest our souls in as we enter 2026!
Thank you for helping send the light of Christ into dark places. We begin 2026 encouraged and grateful for your partnership.
Gratefully yours,
Andy Kirby
ABWE Executive Vice President
