Currently, we support Nick & Iris Hung (Evangelism and Discipleship in Japan) and Lyndell Campbell-Réquia (Leadership Development in Brazil). Every three months our missionaries write newsletters so that we can stay connected with them and know how to uphold them in prayer. We’d love for you to get to know these amazing people and encourage you to read their newsletters today!
