Sat 17. Worldlink USA

We knew that reaching the goal of 1,500 missionaries would take $5 million or more in generous giving and perhaps five years, or even longer, to achieve. But, the financial portion of that goal is now within reach. We could be there by the end of our fiscal year on June 30, 2023. Please pray for a greater level of partnership and provision. The money that provides for these missionaries is the means to do the ministry. Reaching people and seeing their lives transformed is what matters—that is the ministry of Worldlink!

MU, a Muslim mother, has been so antagonistic toward the Christian faith. She persecuted her son and burnt his Bible and Christian literature.

He decided to be baptized in the village so the cult members will see that he is serious about his faith.
