Hey Friends,

I’m reaching out today primarily to ask for prayer. Every time I’m on mission—whether domestic or international—prayer is essential because of the spiritual warfare we encounter. Some of it is verbal, and at times even physical. Your prayers truly matter.

In the past, some of you have also expressed a desire to support this work in a tangible way. If that’s something you feel led to do, any amount would be deeply appreciated and received as a token of your partnership with us in this important gospel endeavor.

In January 2025, I had the opportunity to travel to Israel for the fourth time. While there, we regularly went to the streets with our brother who is Jewish and a believer in Jesus (Yeshua). What refreshed my soul was seeing once again how the gospel acts like a magnet—it draws all kinds of responses. Some respond in anger, while many are eager to stop and have thoughtful conversations. I witnessed this repeatedly. May we never look with disdain on the public proclamation of the gospel. As Proverbs 1:20–21 reminds us:

"Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; 21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks."
