SHARING OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST AND OUR PASSION TO
SEE THE GOSPEL RENEW LIVES AROUND THE WORLD
Missionary Highlight: The Ghareebs
Shining Hope International (formerly known as Christ for the Crescent World) exists to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to disciple, mobilize, educate, inspire, and transform unreached groups in the Middle East. Founded and led by Tony and Souzan Ghareeb, the ministries include outreach to Syrian refugees, a Christian school for 350 children, a new training center for indigenous pastors, and church plants in Beirut and Anjar, Lebanon.
Missionary Highlight: The Spencers
Kalan and Kaytlin Spencer (along with their children, Keira, Jude, James, and Lilly) are planting New Blessing Church in Sanchong, Taiwan, where Kalan serves as the lead pastor. Their ministry also includes planting additional gospel-centered churches, as well as training and equipping additional leaders, through the Taiwan Gospel Alliance and Parakaleo.
Join us in praying for peace and stability in the region, and the freedom to share the Gospel, as tensions between Taiwan and China are frequently in the news. Pray for the Spencer’s church, as it experiences numerical growth in this season and there are many new people to disciple in the ways of Jesus.
Missionary Highlight: The Pushkarans
A couple Sundays ago, we had the privilege of hearing an in-person update from Ashish and Sue Pushkaran regarding their ministries in India. Partners India is working in some of the most remote parts of India to share the Gospel through leadership development, community engagement, and church planting. Through their partner ministry, Aahana’s Hope, they’re also equipping and empowering women with education, skilled work, and more. Continue to pray for the advance of the Gospel through their work, and let us know if you’re interested in remote teaching/training opportunities!
Missionary Highlight: The Omurambis
Rodgers and Judith Omurambi are serving the Lord meeting critical needs and church planting in the midst of Africa’s largest slum: Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya. Their main nonprofit, CELTRA – Centre for Empowerment and Life Transformation, exists to rescue, empower, educate, and provide foster care to children who are victims of abuse. Rodgers also leads Grace City Global Ministries (aka Grace City Church) in Kibera. The church ministry is currently looking for a small plot of land on which to build a more permanent structure that is not as prone to severe flooding in the region. Also be in prayer that the Lord protects and provides for their various ministries, which have significant financial needs and are often the target of corruption.
REDEEMER CITY TO CITY
Redeemer City to City (founded by Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church of NYC) exists to help leaders build gospel movements in cities. Our partnership with Redeemer City to City is an expression of our vision for a network of world-changing, city-renewing, gospel-centered global churches, and for igniting a movement of the gospel in the heart of downtown Denver.
THE GOSPEL COALITION
As a broadly Reformed network of churches, The Gospel Coalition champions the gospel of Jesus Christ by advocating gospel-centered principles and practices. Our partnership with TGC is an expression of our own commitment to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures.
LIVING WATER INTERNATIONAL
Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water in the name of Jesus — “the living water” — who alone satisfies the deepest thirst of our souls. Through LWI we have drilled or refurbished more than two dozen wells around the world.
