Madina grew up Muslim, and all throughout her childhood years, a friend kept faithfully inviting her to church. Over time her heart opened to the love of Jesus. Years later, He placed a burden on Madina's heart for other Muslims to know Jesus too. She realized her testimony could reach Muslims in a way others’ couldn’t, and soon after, she connected with a global worker.

Side by side, their faith was encouraged and the two went out to share the gospel at a local mall. The only open table was next to a group of young Buddhist and Shamanist women.

The group of young women welcomed the two right away and Madina was able to share the gospel with them. "I was so nervous," she said afterward, "but God calmed my heart."

Pray for these young women to hunger for truth and to encounter Jesus. Pray for Madina as she starts ministry training and seeks God's direction for what comes next. And pray for every national partner sharing the gospel with boldness.

Two Chi Alpha teams from Virginia and North Dakota recently traveled to Estonia to serve alongside global workers. Their week was full of teaching, training, praying, and sharing the gospel around town.

One student shared, "One of the highlights of the trip for me was a prayer walk and tour of Tallinn Technical University, the largest university in Tallinn. We connected with two Estonian student groups, taking time to pray together and empowering them to be a witness on campus.”

Sometimes a single week can strengthen what God is already building. Pray for the Estonian students as they share the light of Jesus on their campus. Pray for the Chi Alpha students as they return to the US and continue being a witness on their campuses.

For the last nine years, one global worker family has lived in the same home, in the same city in India — and that kind of staying power has opened doors that a short stay never could. Their kids have grown up alongside the neighborhood kids. The Word has found its way into their living room. Weekly gatherings. Ladies' parties. Friends made at the gym.

They've thrown birthday parties together. They've grieved losses together. They've prayed over their neighbors and with them. And slowly, those neighbors have come to acknowledge the presence of Jesus in this family's life.

Sometimes the call isn't to a program or a project. Sometimes it's simply to stay — to do life, faithfully, with the people who need to know the love of Christ.

Across Eurasia, 638 global workers are faithfully serving — building relationships in some of the most unreached corners of the world.

Join us in praying for these global workers and their families. Pray for open doors in closed places and for endurance as they're advancing the Gospel across the region.

Pray for global worker’s kids growing up away from extended family and living in a different culture. Pray for their hearts, their friendships, and their own walk with Jesus as they grow up on the field.

In sensitive areas of the world, ministry rarely looks like a regular church service. Global workers serving in India must speak with wisdom and discretion, asking the Holy Spirit to lead them through open doors and toward open hearts.

The need for Jesus is overwhelming but in a place where darkness runs so thick, it's the one-on-one connections that bear the most fruit. A home opened. A cup of chai shared. A conversation between sets at the gym. In these ordinary moments, the Holy Spirit shows up.

There are no overnight results — just faithful, steady digging in, one relationship at a time.

Palak had been living with ongoing tension and strain in her relationship with her husband's family. Caught between her responsibilities to her own mother and brother and the expectations of her in-laws, she felt completely trapped—strict caste expectations meant that speaking up could mean being shunned.

The only thing a global worker in Eurasia could do was pray with her. The very next day, Palak's uncle offered to stand in her father's place and speak to the family and the Caste Leaders on her behalf. Palak was certain nothing would change.

But God had already gone ahead of her.

The meeting took place, and hearts that had been hard were softened. The Caste Leaders listened and believed her. Her husband and in-laws wept as they realized how they had treated her, and asked for forgiveness.

Through tears, Palak asked, "How does God do this? He must love me. How do I love Him back for what He has done?"

Where Palak once feared she would have to leave her marriage, God is restoring her home. Continue to pray for her as she learns more about Jesus—the God who sees her, hears her, and cares for her every need.

Among the 851 unreached people groups in India are the Gangadi Brahmins, tucked into the mountain landscapes of North India. They conduct rituals for the local mountain gods, participate in traditional dances and festivals, and hold a place of deep spiritual authority in the communities around them.

A team of our workers in North India is praying for opportunities to meet people from this group—not to arrive with programs or platforms, but to move toward friendship, earn trust slowly, and find the pathways that only proximity and presence can open. They're asking the Lord to lead them to the right people, the right conversations, and the right moments.

Pray with us for the day when they encounter the One who needs no performance or ritual, and discover that He has been pursuing them all along.

Come and see what God is doing in India! Whether you're serving individually or bringing a team from your church, campus, or community, we'd love to help you explore how God is moving among the people of India.

Serving alongside one of our ministry teams, you'll experience daily life and ministry in an urban or rural setting, learn about the local religious and cultural context, and build relationships with our team and the communities we serve.

SOW-tember Week 4: Sow Through Story
You already have something you can use to point someone toward Jesus: your story.
What was happening in your life? How did Jesus meet you, help you, change you, or reveal Himself to you? What difference has He made?

Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic to be powerful. Ordinary stories can open extraordinary doors.

This week, pray for an opportunity to tell someone what Jesus has done in your life. And pray for teams in Eurasia as they faithfully share His story.

We sow. The Holy Spirit does the work.
