Dear Friends,
Stories of transformation continue to emerge daily from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as men and women hear the gospel, repent, and place their trust in Jesus — the only One who brings true and lasting change (2 Corinthians 5:17).
During seasons like Ramadan, many Muslims wrestle quietly with questions: Have I done enough? Is God pleased with me? Beneath sincere devotion is often a longing for mercy. In those tender moments, God draws hearts to Himself. As Scripture promises, “You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). Many discover the truth that forgiveness is not earned through striving, but received through grace (Ephesians 2:8–9). The burden of trying to earn acceptance is replaced with the joy of being fully loved and forgiven.
Yet initial joy must take deep root to endure. In much of the MENA region, new believers face significant persecution from family and community. That is why conversion is only the beginning. Discipleship after conversion is steady, patient, and deeply relational. It is learning to pray not out of fear, but from belonging. It is opening Scripture together and discovering what obedience looks like in daily life. It is replacing old patterns with new rhythms shaped by grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is learning to forgive because you have been forgiven, and to love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
And the gospel never stays contained. One transformed life begins to reshape a family. A movement begins and grows as the Light of Christ spreads from home to home (Matthew 5:14–16).
In the Story from the Field below, you’ll read about one life being changed — not only through a moment of decision, but through ongoing discipleship that is taking root. Thank you for partnering with us to train leaders who walk faithfully alongside new believers.
That is why we equip M3 trainers with a biblical framework for training others for lasting transformation with a clear vision, intention, and means. Vision captures life in God’s Kingdom. Intention is the decision to follow Christ wholeheartedly. Means are the rhythms of Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and obedience described in Acts 2:42. When these align, faith grows deep and strong.
For His Global Glory,
