Healing Both Heart and Home

Rachel Chimits

A girl who seemed both lost within herself and separated from every outside connection has awakened to faith and new life.

Lenka* was 14 years old when she was brought to the Ehikirezi center, World Challenge’s partners in Burundi. A local administrative leader had found her on the street. As soon as the team saw her, they began praying. It was clear they would need wisdom and a gentle hand with this poor girl.

Around the World: Volume Eight

Around the world God is moving to impact lives through this ministry. In Bangladesh, a community is coming together around a bible study; in Kenya, World Challenge partners brought water to a remote village; and in Asia, closed schools have created an opportunity for our ministry partners to provide study books where believer’s activities are normally restricted. Learn more about the incredible work God is doing in this edition of Around the World.

Changing From the Inside Out

Rachel Chimits

God’s redemption and transformation of one man who was considered ‘hopeless’ by his neighbors has begun to change his entire village.

Kenya is making headway toward reducing severe poverty in their nation, working steadfastly toward their people have more opportunities. While some are worried that this work might become easily undone, the upward climb has brought great hope to many locals.

Stepping Out Onto a New Road

Rachel Chimits

World Challenge’s partners in Lithuania are helping families in need find hope and food in the middle of what has been a very challenging season.

The Union of Pentecostal Churches of Lithuania support a feeding center in their city. Particularly in this current season, food aid is extremely important.

Russia, the Virus Year and a Dream

Rachel Chimits

Our partners live in a nation well acquainted with hard work and unrelentingly tough circumstances, but they are also seeing God’s grace and provision in miraculous ways.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia has reported extraordinarily low mortality rates. A group of doctors, however, have been creating a “memory list” of colleagues’ names who have died from the virus, despite official figures saying otherwise.

From Fear to Freedom

Rachel Chimits

In Bosnia, one Roma boy who knew little else except anxiety and rejection began to experience God's love and freedom.

Thousands upon thousands of Roma people live in Bosnia-Herzegovina, but they are the invisible population.

The government estimates that anywhere between 10,000 and 60,000 Roma are unregistered, which makes accessing schools, hospitals and public resources where they might otherwise receive the help they need far more difficult.
