As Lifeword continues its mission to speak the gospel in the heart language of every person, teams around the world are expanding outreach efforts, training new disciples, and developing creative strategies to overcome obstacles. From Asia to the Americas, God is opening doors, and Lifeword teams are walking through them in faith.

Asia: Training, Tutorials, and New Frontiers

Pastor Pete in the Philippines is diligently following up with broadcasters across the islands, especially helping older pastors adapt to modern media tools. Though personal circumstances have limited his travel, Pastor Pete continues training online and is preparing new tutorials to support pastors and technicians across Asia-Pacific. Exciting developments include growing interest in Cambodia and Vietnam, where pastors are eager to launch gospel media broadcasts. These doors are significant opportunities to reach the unreached in Asia-Pacific.

In the Middle East, Bro. Joe Costa reported positive progress on four ministry pages, especially those reaching New Age and Muslim audiences. Engagement is growing, with open conversations taking place through the “Feast” program, which connects believers with the LGBTQ+ community in thoughtful, respectful dialogue. Despite the volatility of the region, there is great hope for gospel advancement.

Africa: Overcoming Obstacles, Advancing the Gospel

In Africa, Brother Hayford is continuing his gospel work despite the technical challenges of limited internet access. He’s training to produce radio and streaming content and preparing to disciple others in video and audio editing. 

Meanwhile, in Liberia, Bro. Abraham Cheyee reports exciting progress as the gospel spreads into rural and even Muslim communities. Many have come to faith, and Lifeword is encouraged by the fruit of faithful ministry in hard-to-reach areas. The team continues recording and distributing content while trusting God for more breakthroughs in infrastructure.

Europe: Expanding Partnerships and Reaching New Audiences

Bro. Bogdan and the European team are building new partnerships and expanding their media platforms. A highlight this season was a baptism event, including the return of a former Gypsy speaker now living in Germany. With this momentum, the team is considering a new media project aimed at ministering to Gypsies in Germany or German-speaking Gypsy communities. 

Americas: Discipleship and Preparation for Colombia

Bro. Valmori recently began discipling a new believer and asked for prayer as he and Bro. Rigoberto work to continue to support Lifeword’s vision by pairing media outreach with on-the-ground evangelism in their region.

Conclusion

Lifeword is pressing forward with over 200 monthly productions in 165 languages and planning to expand into 10 more. Whether it’s online tutorials, grassroots discipleship, or cross-cultural conversations, the global team is committed to sharing Jesus in every heart language. Please continue to pray for the teams, their families, and the people they serve. The harvest is plentiful—and Lifeword remains on mission.
