Survey Says...

Earlier this year we sent out a survey. 

First of all, thank you to all those who took the time to complete the supporter survey we sent last month. We gathered some vital information. There are two topics I want to address from our findings. Some of our readers didn't fully understand the difference between us being self-funded and fully-funded by our supporters. So let me clarify the difference: 

We are not self-funded, which means we are not independently wealthy and funding our ministry or living expenses ourselves. We are fully-funded by you supporters and your generous offerings that cover our ministry and living expenses. 

There are months when I am able to bring in a few hundred dollars through some freelance writing to supplement our income rather than burden you with an "ask." But freelancing is never consistent. We are thankful for the faithful gifts that come from you (financial supporters) each month so we can continue doing the Lord's work. 

The second communication gap we have seen recently was that many of you don't realize that our mission organization does not make up for any lost support we experience. When a monthly gift is stopped, we immediately see that deficit in our next paycheck. It's an immediate pay cut, causing us to abandon some of the ministry efforts we planned for. It is very helpful when supporters advise us at least 90 days prior to stopping a gift. This gives us time to find a new giver. That being said, the Lord always seems to make a way and we are thankful for his provision.

The rest of the survey results revealed most of you understand our work and the roles we fill in order to keep the wheel turning in bringing people to Jesus. Because you are well-informed, this means you actually read these monthly letters and keep up on our news. Thank you for that!

We couldn't do any of this without our prayer partners and financial supporters. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!

Bible Distribution in 19 Schools

 

In Egypt, 2,813 students across 4 Egyptian Cities Recieved God's Word. Girls in a public middle school received Bibles Over the past few months, International School Project (where Christine serves) worked together with Egyptian teachers to place Bibles into the hands of students from many different backgrounds. Public schools, Catholic schools, Coptic schools, and majority-religion schools welcomed our staff. Follow-up is an important task. Teachers and staff involved with ISP are continuing to meet with students, start Bible study groups, and build relationships. Educators are sharing the gospel with students from Catholic backgrounds, Coptic backgrounds, majority-religion, or no religious background.

Snow Angel

Crumpled in the middle of a snow-covered street, 23-year-old Luba lay passed out from drinking. A woman approached and helped her to stand and walk home.

As the snow crunched under their feet, she told Luba only God could really help her. But Luba didn’t believe in anything at that time. 

Luba’s parents died when she was a teenager. Her brother, who drank a lot, raised Luba with little supervision. By age 17, she had her own son to care for. This just solidified her place at the bottom of society.

The woman invited Luba to her home that cold winter day, and the next afternoon they met and watched Magdalena. This movie is one of our feature films here at Jesus Film Project^® that follows the life of Christ and how He ministered to women. The movie is about a woman much like Luba—who society had turned away, and only Jesus was able to help. 

Later, Luba prayed and accepted Christ. Some Christian women provided Luba and her young son with clothes and food. 

Now, Luba looks to the future with optimism. “I know that with God I can survive any difficulties that may come and He will help me through His children, who surround me.”

Here in America, we too have women who need to watch the story of Magdalena. Those who have been abandoned, battered, raped, ignored, incarcerated—they all need hope, they need Jesus. 

Sometimes sharing a story of one of the women Christ interacted with can lead to a meaningful spiritual conversation, opening a door to share the gospel. 

TEZ'S RADIO SPOT BECOMES A BOOK

We are excited to announce that Tez signed another traditional publishing contract for a book on relational evangelism. It will be titled "I Dare Ya!: 52 Ideas for Relational Evangelism" (working title) based off his old radio spot of the same name. 

The publishing house, Iron Stream Media plans to market it to churches and mission organizations to help believers step out and courageously share Jesus using natural, organic conversations as they build trusting relationships with unbelievers. Iron Stream Media has given Tez a deadline to finish the manuscript by October. 

Spain Report (May 2026)

SPAIN REPORT

What a fantastic time we had serving at a hostel on the Camino again this year. I had a great team with me and many lives were touched as we shared our faith, prayed for many pilgrims (hikers) and showed loving hospitality. 

One man named Os* believed there were many ways to God. As we chatted, the Lord provided opportunity for me to explain how mankind has always tried to reach God using education, philosophy, or good deeds and how Jesus was the only way. It gave him much to consider.

Later, that day, one of our team members (Jason) conversed with Os for over an hour explaining who Jesus was and our desperate need for a Savior. His curiosity continued because during dinner he asked why I got emotional while saying grace. I replied, "He's saved me from so much, my friendship with Christ runs deep. I love him more than anyone else." thenI offered to talk more about that after dinner.

After dinner, we played a game that helps us get to know the overnight guests better. It also gives us opportunity to share our testimonies. Again we could see Os was curious and eager to learn about Christianity.

Alas, he left the next morning without making a commitment so we prayed for him. While flying home Saturday, all of us on the team got a text from Jason saying that he and Os talked on the phone and Os indicated a decision to follow Christ! Praise God!

Pray for Os to grow in his newfound faith and to connect with a community of other believers. 

Also pray for Rick*, a young man from the USA who is interested in following Jesus. I spent a long time discussing the gospel but he had a hard time believing that receiving Jesus could be so easy. Pray that he comes in contact wit the gospel again and decides to surrender his life. 

Thanks for making stories like this happen. Without your prayers and financial support Christine and I could not do this.

World Cup Outreach

WORLD CUP OUTREACH

 

This just happened in Burundi
We praise God for our World Cup screening event. Before showing the match, we began by viewing some short films from the Jesus Film app and discussing them. Nineteen people indicated a decision to accept Jesus Christ. Our team in Burundi will help them grow in their faith so that they may multiply and form small Bible study groups.

Also, we've distributed around 10,000 Jesus Loves You soccer balls for the World Cup. The digital tracking data shows that the QR code is actively being scanned and the videos are being watched in 133 countries. 

Tez and his team were responsible for creating the gospel presentation that pops up when the QR code is scanned. 

Through this project, we've also made an agreement with another ministry for them to license the design and produce it with their own logo and they will be distributing around 125,000 balls this fall following the World Cup.

The Jesus Loves You ball and Hope ball both use our Jesus Film Project media through embedded NextSteps journeys accessed through a QR code printed on the balls.
