Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary Update — NOvember 2025

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, donors through The Outreach Foundation have given more than $2 million with sacrificial love. This will be our third winter partnering with the Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary (UETS), holding fast for a just peace while bombs fall and power grids collapse. In a recent conversation with a partner who works with war-affected children and orphans, we heard grim words: “We would be willing to settle for peace now.” This signals weariness we’ve not heard before. Through this update, know hope continues to spread through our faithful partners whom we continue to support. We once again ask you to respond prayerfully and generously to this winter’s challenge.

Pakistan Bible Correspondence School Update November 2025

In Matthew 13, Jesus paints a vivid parable: the gospel seed scatters everywhere, it is unstoppable. We can’t control its flight or the ground it lands on. In Pakistan, the land is rocky, where persecution looms like an immovable boulder. While we cannot change that reality, we can empower leaders to till that soil with bold vision and courageous faith.

That’s the heartbeat of The Outreach Foundation’s partnerships in Pakistan. We work with leaders like Eli Sardar, Director of Pakistan Bible Correspondence School (PBCS) in Faisalabad, so they can shine as beacons in one of the world’s darkest corners.

Daniels in Diaspora – Reflections from Our U.S. and Canada Journey

We have always believed that, like Daniel, God has sent us into the diaspora — far from our homeland, our culture, and our families — not by accident, but with divine purpose.

In this place of exile, God has been teaching us, blessing us, and shaping us to grow in wisdom and faith, so that we may carry those blessings back to the persecuted church.
