Dear Friends,
One of the sobering realities of ministry is that many of the greatest battles we face come from forces we cannot see. At M3 Global, we are continually reminded that the mission of God is not merely physical or practical — it is deeply spiritual. As Scripture reminds us, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). Those serving on the frontlines in some of the darkest places on earth experience this reality every single day.
As we encourage and equip frontline workers throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), we intentionally design our trainings not only to provide biblical principles and practical tools for disciple-making and church planting, but also to offer a few days of physical, emotional, and spiritual rest from the constant pressures they carry. During these times of refreshment, we often hear stories of deep weariness — especially from those returning from unreached areas. Many who come from Muslim backgrounds continue to face ongoing pressure, rejection, and even persecution from family members and surrounding communities.
Some describe entire villages and communities gripped by generations of fear, hopelessness, and spiritual darkness. Yet in the midst of these stories, we consistently hear something else: testimonies of God’s faithfulness and how the prayers of believers strengthen and sustain them to remain in the battle. Time and time again, we are reminded that prayer is not simply preparation for ministry — prayer is ministry. Long before a gospel seed is planted, a disciple is made, or a church is established, God is already at work through the prayers of His people.
This is why your partnership in prayer is so vital to this mission. While many of you may never physically travel to these hard-to-reach places, your prayers place you directly on the frontlines alongside those serving there. Every prayer for courage, protection, wisdom, endurance, and new believers strengthens workers faithfully ministering in difficult and dangerous places.
Already this year, we have seen God answer prayers in incredible ways:
• Opening communities that were once resistant to the Gospel
• Physically protecting workers from those seeking to harm them
• Encouraging and renewing weary hearts
• Drawing individuals, families, and entire communities out of darkness and into the marvelous light of Christ
Yes, this work is spiritual, and the need for prayer has never been greater. Thank you for standing with us as we seek to fulfill Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18–20). Your prayers are making an eternal impact in battles most of us will never see this side of heaven.
For His Global Glory,
