In a world filled with conflicts, distractions, and overwhelming news, it is easy to lose focus on what truly matters. As Christians, we must remember the importance of the Great Commission and not be distracted by the noise around us. We are called to go and make disciples, and there are believers around the world who need our support now more than ever.
Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
In January, we traveled to Tunisia and Morocco to support the local church and explore new ministry opportunities. Our team of 6, which included 4 brothers from Winston Salem, was deeply moved by what we witnessed.

Tunisia: Laying the Groundwork for the Future
In previous trip to Tunisia in September, we met with refugees from Africa, many of whom have fled war and poverty. On this trip partnered with a brother from the Ivory Coast to help support these refugees with practical needs and the Gospel.
We also worked alongside local believers to lay the groundwork for an Outreach Center that will serve as a hub for ministry in the community. While these brothers face significant challenges, including government pressure and spiritual opposition, we were so encouraged by their faithfulness.
We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair. (2 Corinthians 4:8)
Morocco: A Discovery Mission & Worship in Marrakesh
In Morocco, we met with church leaders who are faithfully shepherding their flocks despite difficult circumstances. We had the privilege of worshiping at Agape Church in Marrakesh and were reminded of the power of God in the local church to stand strong in the face of opposition.

God Is Moving in Home Churches
Throughout this trip, we were reminded that God is powerfully at work in home churches, where believers gather in small groups to pray, worship, and share the Gospel despite the cost. We witnessed firsthand the courage of those who risk everything to follow Christ.
Standing with the Persecuted Church
Most of the believers we met come from Muslim backgrounds, and the cost of following Jesus is incredibly high. They face rejection from families, loss of jobs, and in some cases, even death. But their faith remains strong, and they refuse to compromise.
Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.(Matthew 10:32)
We must stand with them in prayer and support, knowing that our brothers and sisters are paying a high price to follow Jesus. Their courage challenges us to remain steadfast and not compromise the truth.
As our Partners, please continue to pray for:
-The believers in Tunisia and Morocco as they face ongoing challenges.
-Refugees in Tunisia who need both physical and spiritual support.
-The Outreach Center in Tunisia as we continue to lay the groundwork.
And this Gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.(Matthew 24:14)
Thank you for supporting and standing with us in this mission. Your partnership makes this work possible. We are privileged to be part of what God is doing in North Africa, and we are excited to see how He will continue to move in the days ahead.
In Christ,
Kalim Andraos
