Samir, a teenager in the Caucasus, started a DBS group with his family. He encouraged and helped his grandmother share her faith with her neighbours.

Short-term teams play a significant role in sharing hope with the least reached. It does not matter if the trip is short or if the ground is hard; every person in the Kingdom is useful.

At youth winter camp, Jeyhun got into a heated argument with another teenager. This led him to confess his problem with anger and begin a journey of healing through the love and freedom of Jesus.

"Jesus loved deeply, even His worst enemies. He was betrayed, He was trialled unfairly, He was mocked and flogged and He was crucified, culminating in an unjust, brutal death," shares See Keen. "Yet He stayed true to His core, to love others beyond all cost."

In Hong Kong, Jesus followers are committing to praying five times a day during the month of Ramadan for muslims around the world.

Arvin* and Cristina* are Colombians with a rich family heritage of Jesus followers. Starting married life in Ecuador, God then sent them to Kosovo, and subsequently to different parts of the Caucasus.

God is bringing all things together for good in the Caucasus, through His people, via one Colombian family willing to trust God and walk in His ways.
