In our first prayer letter of 2025, I informed you that we had started the year with a bang! Well, God’s blessings continue. I believe Team Eurasia has already seen more saved in 2025 than in any previous year, and we aren’t even halfway through the year. One of our translators seems to be leading someone new to Christ every time he turns around. A university student I brought to salvation has been bringing friends to church. A Buddhist has been in attendance three of the last four weeks and seems very close to salvation!

Visa Updates

It seems the country where we serve is doing everything possible to rid itself of foreigners. Most of our like-minded friends in the harvest have been kicked out. By some miracle, our team is fully staffed this summer with five families on the field. Pray that visa renewals continue!

Building Fund Update

One of the greatest challenges for churches in Muslim countries is finding a place to assemble consistently. As soon as some neighbors get upset with the idea of a church meeting nearby, they put pressure on the landowner to renege on the rental contract. Owning our own building would give us so much more stability. We could access our own meeting place 24/7. We could provide our own security. We could move in a real piano and build our own baptistery. In addition to all of this, building ownership would enhance our prospects of visa renewal and give our people a sense of permanence! If you or your church can contribute to our building fund, you can donate online at love4turkey.com or send your gift to FBMI, marked #6580 Team Eurasia Building Fund.

New Worldwide Ministry Being Launched!

God has laid on our hearts to begin a ministry, the need for which defies description. Missionaries around the world are trying to grow their churches, usually with little to no staff. They are also expected to keep their families together. Then in their “spare” time, it is essential that they start Bible colleges to train their men for ministry. But where are the resources? We are announcing the launch of Study the Word International. We are not starting another college or competing with good schools already running. We are cooperating with like-minded colleges everywhere to avail ourselves of the best curriculum resources currently in use and get them translated into as many languages as possible. STWI will serve as a development and distribution center for sound, Biblical curricula. Our people are already translating curriculum into Arabic, Czech, Farsi, German, Spanish, Turkish, and Urdu. We have leads on Azerbaijani, French, Swahili, and Thai. We will be offering additional languages as rapidly as possible, as God provides translators. If you run a full-fledged Bible college on the field, perhaps we can help fill some holes in your curriculum. If you are starting from scratch, we can do even more. Each pastor runs his own college according to his standards and affiliations and the laws of his host country. We merely assist by providing digital teachers’ notes and student syllabi to those who want them. Let us know what languages and courses are in highest demand. Our website is under development, studythewordinternational.org, so visit it repeatedly for updates and to watch us grow! If you are interested in helping to translate, contact me at mabwgm@protonmail.com. Pray for Team Eurasia, Study the Word International, incil.online, and answersfromscripture.online.
