Growing Hope in West Africa
Because of an ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region where we serve in West Africa, many displaced people have fled to the city. Our team is actively working to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those who have been uprooted. One way we do this is by integrating biblical teaching with practical, community-centered initiatives—such as children’s health clubs, agricultural development, girls’ clubs for middle and high school students, urban gardening, sports programs, and Creation Care.
Journey to South Asia, Journal Entry 3
One of our CMF staff members took a trip to South Asia recently with a group exploring the country and our ministries there and considering possibilities. This is a closed country where, because of political, social, and religious reasons, traditional missionary activity is not allowed, but where God is working in incredible ways. In this third entry in his journal, he continues to use nicknames for the people he interacts with.
Remembering Will Walls
With heavy hearts, we remember and celebrate the life of Will Walls, who passed away last week after an extended illness. With the heart of a pastor, Will poured into our missionaries and staff, and he will be deeply missed.
Two Decades of Impact — and a Bold Vision for the Future
Two of our Globalscope campus ministries have remarkably similar stories. El Pozo in Puebla, Mexico, and En Vivo in Salamanca, Spain, were both launched 20 years ago by a group of friends. These recent college graduates formed two different teams and, within two weeks of each other, set out to start new ministries, sharing the highs and lows of planting together. Today, both ministries are still thriving.
Living Water in a Dry Land
“I heard you can deliver me from the demons that plague me,” she said, as she squirmed in her seat. This famous witch doctor from a small village in Southeast Asia, sat there, of all places, in a church? The truth was, living as a witch doctor had taken its toll. A rival witch doctor had told her she wouldn’t live long with the spiritual oppression she faced from her own demons, and that terrified her. And her distant faith in the teachings of Buddha didn’t promise much other than crossing her fingers for another chance at life again, stuck in the cycle of never-good-enough for nirvana.

Telling a Story of Hope
Recently the village of Nakalorlor in northwestern Kenya hosted a three-day discipleship training. This community has had a church for a little over a year now, and our Kenya Church Catalyst team decided it was time to have a level two DMM (Disciple Making Movements) training there.
