Equipping Native Missionaries

What a wonderful year it has been with launching a Regional Mobilization Center in West Africa, training hundreds of native missionaries to reach unreached people groups around them, and seeing thousands around the world decide to follow Christ. We are already ramping up for next year. Another South Asian team is currently being trained and at the start of next year a team from AIMS Headquarters will travel to a country in South Asia to officially launch a second Regional Mobilization Center for the South Asia region. This will be Center number five! The next two regions we are working towards is Northeast Asia and Latin America.

But, before we do all that there is one main thing that our missionaries keep asking for...Bibles. There is a huge lack of gospel resources for missionaries to unreached people groups. Most house churches in these regions have maybe one Bible per church and no tangible resources to share the gospel to those around them. So we are changing that situation and raising money to put gospel tools in our missionaries hands. They need solar audio Bibles for communities with no electricity or literacy to hear the Word of God. They need full Bibles in their languages to give to every believer and for discipleship. They need New Testaments and gospel tracts in their language to help them evangelize for efficiently. Even the most skilled craftsman can only do so much without the proper tools. Our goal, starting in 2026, is to equip our missionaries with the proper gospel tools they need to advance God's kingdom among their regions. They are so excited to be receiving solar audio Bibles, printed Bibles, and evangelism tracts. It is so humbling to see a whole shelf of Bibles in my own home, but to know that many believers around the world do not own a single Bible or even seen one in their language.

FAVORITE TESTIMONY FROM THIS QUARTER

"There was man who was very poor and sick by a hard disease. He is from Muslim background. He spent a lot of money to be healed to the point where he didn't have a single coin to buy food or even medicine. When I met with him and he shared what he was going through and I observed that he is hopeless and thinking about suicide. I shared about our hope in Jesus, who can give you life. He was so surprised, grasping for any hope to live. I brought him in my house and shared my true Christ with him. I prayed for him. Now he is much better than before and got baptized. Praise God!" - Missionary in South Asia

FEELING THANKFUL

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, and as I sit here writing this update I am so thankful for everything in my life. I get to serve God through an amazing ministry and use my skillset to help missionaries around the world. I have the best partners that pray and support me whole-heartedly and I am so thankful for each one of you. I’m blessed with a great family, and I get to spend Christmas together with them. I now have a wonderful husband who loves and cares for me more than I could ever imagine. I'm thankful that his house in Texas has sold. I'm grateful for his current job at Amazon even though it's not exactly what he wants to do long term. I'm thankful that God will lead him to the absolute right job that he will enjoy.
