fulfilling our mission to build an apostolic church movement that reaches the unreached – from our neighbourhood to the ends of the earth.

I recently visited Central Asia, in a city where the Word of Life movement has been planting seeds for years. In 1996, God gave a vision to take the gospel to the mountain people, with the hope that they would pass it on. Today, we are witnessing the fruit of that vision.

One of the most exciting milestones is standing on a property where the new church building for the local congregation is being built. They now have a smaller space, but this new building will provide a much-needed venue for larger services and expanded congregational ministry. In a country like this, with many challenges, having a functioning church building is not just a luxury – it is essential. It provides a space for fellowship, worship and outreach, allowing the Gospel to be spread more effectively.

But their importance does not end there. This church is actively involved in missions, sending teams to Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, promoting the multiplication of the Gospel in regions that are often overlooked. The vision is alive – what started here in Tajikistan is now reaching beyond borders and impacting neighbouring countries.

This is the beginning of a new chapter for missions in Central Asia. As this church grows and strengthens, it will continue to send out labourers into the harvest, ensuring the multiplying effect of the Kingdom of God. It is a reminder that as we step out in faith, God’s vision for reaching the nations is moving forward in ways we could never imagine.
