‘Whom shall I fear?’ – a war zone in Europe

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). David begins Psalm 27 with these words, yet the honest truth is that there are many things around us that make us afraid.

A and K

Did you know around half a million Africans study abroad, with about 1 in 5 going to East Asia? International churches are a unique opportunity to equip the African church, since they constitute about 70-80% of their congregation in many East Asian cities.

Dealing with anger when serving in mission

Someone once said that serving in mission brings out the worst in you. It has and it did.

The country we are planning to work in has over 2,300 unreached people groups – more than five times any other country. Over 400 million people have never even heard the name of Jesus

Portugal is a country with 10 million inhabitants. The nation is predominantly Roman Catholic (90%), with 80% being nominal Catholics only.

We came here to ask you, what did you do to Beto?

They arrived late, eyes anxious, and fidgeted throughout the study. As Marcelo spoke, he couldn’t help but notice a group of unfamiliar faces. When the Bible study ended, the group sprang up to approach Marcelo.

In Luke 10:2 we are told to “pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” (Luke 10:2) During my time with UFM, it has been thrilling to have a front row seat in seeing how God continues to send out workers into his harvest.

“Leave everything”, God told Duba in a dream

It was 2015 in northern Sierra Leone, when Duba, a churchgoer with no personal relationship with Christ, had a dream, “God spoke to me with the message that I was to leave all to follow him”.

Northern Ireland has a high percentage of evangelicals, but the Republic of Ireland has one of the lowest evangelical populations in all of Europe - around 0.5 percent.

The impact of ‘ordinary’ Bible teaching

You know how certain lessons linger in the memory? I recall a sermon just after I moved to the Midlands to work with Christian Unions. I don’t remember the passage, though it could well have been Mark’s Gospel. Instead of trying to recruit us to follow Jesus by describing how amazing Jesus’ teaching was, the preacher simply wanted us to listen to Jesus’ own words and follow him.

Thailand means Land of the Free, but with social inequality, corruption and people trafficking hiding behind the famous Thai smile, many people feel trapped

At the heart of São Paulo’s coastal region, Guarujá’s centre remains unchurched

Body-building not bookselling amongst conflict-worn Kurds

Radicals approached the shopkeeper and complained that the New Testament was prominently displayed in his shop. Although he is a Muslim, he told them in no uncertain terms that he would continue to display the Injeel prominently.

Finding God’s Will When One Door After Another Shuts

I had just reached the stage of being able to have primitive conversations and the language was starting to make sense. Then all mission workers were withdrawn, with danger from Islamic militants growing ever closer and more severe.

The pressing need for the church at this moment is to form the next generation of church leaders

So You Think You’re Ready? – Our First Year in Mission

When The Daily Mirror calls it a “modern day Sodom and Gomorrah”, you know you’re not living somewhere picturesque and idyllic. Pattaya is a difficult and dark place to live.

Sharing God’s Grace in South Africa

During summer 2019, I was able to participate, through UFM, in a Bible College Placement with an organisation called MusaweNkosi in South Africa.

No Weapon Fashioned Against You Shall Succeed

Hindu mobs wielded rods, tridents, swords, guns, kerosene and even bottles of acid. Adorned with Hindu militant headbands, they shouted slogans such as, “Jai shri Ram!”, (Victory to Ram, the Hindu god) and “Jai bajrang bali!”, a tribute to another Hindu deity.

Focus on…Italy

“Let’s get one thing straight. Your Italy and our Italia are not the same thing. Italy is a soft drug peddled in predictable packages, such as hills in the sunset and olive groves. Italia, on the other hand, is a maze ... you can go round and round in circles for years.”

Rebuilding from Storm, False Teaching and Broken Lives

With winds up to 280km/h leaving 1.5 million displaced and ruining 711,000 hectares of crops, Cyclone Idai grabbed the headlines earlier this year. It caused an estimated $1bn damage to infrastructure across Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
