The gospel news about Christ is reaching some of the most remote parts of Asia and transforming families’ lives. 

Mongolia is a vast, largely rural place. Many of the towns outside of their capital city are incredibly remote, almost as if they belong to another world.

God continues to move and provide for people in Cuba who are enduring a particularly harsh season of life in the wake of COVID-19. 

Church leaders in India are listening to God’s direction as they care for their neighbors and spread the good news about Christ. 

God is reaching new people every month despite the conflict and unrest in Myanmar through World Challenge’s partners whose labor is born from a true passion for the lost.

World Challenge’s partners are helping others see how setting boundaries can be not only loving but also an opening for the gospel.

A popular idea is that self-sacrificial living should mean having no defenses or lines that shouldn’t be crossed, but it ignores many verses in the Bible that order us to have discernment and enforce consequences for sinful behavior.

World Challenge’s partners are working to build a meaningful community for widows in northern Egypt.
