As we look toward 2026, my heart is drawn to the promise in Habakkuk 2:14—that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. That picture is the foundation of our desire to flood the nations with the gospel, to see the presence and proclamation of Christ multiplied across the world. 

You are already living this work out every day. The faithfulness you show, the relationships you build, the churches you plant, and the people you disciple—these are the very things that fuel this vision.

In the coming years, we will be investing more intentionally in mission readiness, pastoral care, theological formation, and long-term field support. We want every missionary who joins our global family to arrive well-prepared and to remain steady in the places where Christ has given them influence.

Our prayer is that the Lord would raise up many more workers who will labor shoulder to shoulder with you—not replacing your efforts, but strengthening them, widening them, and adding to the witness already taking root in the nations. Together, by God’s grace, we long to see an overabundance of gospel presence—an outpouring so widespread that the nations are filled with the knowledge of Christ. 

May the Lord use all of us, together, to flood the nations with the gospel until his glory is known in every place. 

Thank you for standing with us in the work.
