The number of people attending Sunday services is steadily growing! We thank God that He is adding those who are being saved to the church!
The church “Promise Land,” located in the village of Yonki, was founded in 2017 and has grown rapidly—from 15 people at our first service to over 200 adults, plus about 100 children and teenagers.
For this reason, we are forced to expand the building of our main church. We already expanded the prayer house in 2019, but now even this building has become too small. During Sunday services, people no longer fit inside, and many have to sit outside on the grass.
Therefore, a construction team will be coming to us in January 2026 to build a new church building. We are planning a hall that can seat 400 people.
We are looking for people who can join this construction team, as well as sponsors for this project. The estimated budget is about $50,000.
Thank you for your faithfulness, support, and prayers for our ministry in PNG!
We are reaching out with a request for prayerful support for the upcoming ministry. From December 6 to 14, the Kirnev family missionary team will be carrying out a Christmas evangelistic outreach among the peoples of the Middle East.
Please pray:
that the Word of God would be effective in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia;
that the light of the Gospel would penetrate places where spiritual darkness reigns.
We believe that the united prayer of the Church can change the destinies of nations, and that through this ministry many souls will hear about the birth of the Savior.
During these days, services will be held among children, youth, and adults, accompanied by the distribution of Christmas gifts, Christian literature, and personal evangelism.
The mission route will cover many populated areas—from ancient Tyre, steeped in Old Testament history, to northern Tripoli, where thousands of families are in need of the Lord.
We ask you to pray:
that the name of the Lord would be proclaimed boldly among these peoples;
that the Lord Himself would open hearts to receive the Gospel;
that doors for preaching would be opened wide.
May the name of the Lord be glorified in the Middle East!
Every morning, more than 230 children walk into our Avoda School in Mae Sot. They come from refugee families—many without documents, but with hearts full of dreams. For them, this school is more than just a place to study. It is a home where they feel accepted, protected, and loved, and where they learn about a God who cares for them.
This is a school where Gaem, Mimi, Paw, and many others have already graduated, found Jesus, and now help care for the next generation.
We are praying for God’s provision and, if possible, for help to support one or two additional teachers for a year. At present, we have funds for one teacher for one month, and we are trusting God for the remaining 11 months.
Your donation of any amount will help these children receive education, love, and stability. Make a Christmas gift!
Currently, we have only four wonderful teachers and one volunteer who comes every day because she truly understands the children—she herself was once in their place. This team does everything: teaching, leading, taking children home, and even cooking! They give their whole hearts, but the need is far greater than they can carry alone.
We are praying for two more teachers. Supporting one teacher costs $250 per month. Would you join us in prayer?
Larisa shared that she found her calling in isolation—living with her family high in the mountains, rarely going out to see people, taking care of the household, and serving those close to her. There, far from the noise, she felt a sense of peace. But unexpectedly, she added that she had recently started smoking. I couldn’t help but smile—in my understanding, “peace” and “cigarettes” simply don’t go together. It was clear that we were facing someone who was weary and deeply lonely.
With me was a young woman who had recently accepted Christ and renounced esotericism. She told Larisa how Jesus had changed her life. We shared passages from the Bible. At first, Larisa’s expression was sad, but the more the Word of God was spoken, the softer her gaze became—until suddenly she smiled for the first time. In that moment, she opened her heart to Christ.
Together we said a prayer of repentance—simple, heartfelt words—and with all my heart I felt the heavens rejoicing. After the prayer, Larisa began asking questions about yoga and “good luck” rituals, and then said herself, “I don’t want this anymore.” Only the living Spirit of God can work in such a way.
That evening, among the mountains and the silence, another soul found the Savior. This experience once again confirmed that no isolation and no philosophy can bring true peace. Peace is in Christ!
We made another trip to Lebanon, where we carried out evangelistic services and children’s programs in cities such as Tyre, Zahle, Tripoli, Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley. About two million Syrian and Iraqi refugees live in Lebanon, and they are in special need of salvation and daily bread. Due to ongoing military conflicts, the country is experiencing severe economic hardship.
Right now is a favorable time to preach the Gospel and serve these families, especially the children. We spoke openly and clearly about the fact that there is only one true God—Jesus Christ—and that only through Him can a person receive salvation. Our greatest joy is seeing the fruit of our ministry. Many families accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts.
Before Christmas, we are planning another trip! Thank you for being part of this blessing!
With God’s help, more than a thousand children heard about Jesus and His wonderful love. We not only told the children about the Savior, but, following the example of Jesus, we also fed them. Every day we held Bible lessons, taught Christian songs, and played together. According to the children’s testimonies, they experienced real love—and for this we are especially grateful to our Lord!
Recently, we were returning home from ministry along winding mountain roads. Just after we passed, a bus carrying people was swept away by a landslide (six people were killed, and many were injured). In our province, rivers overflowed their banks, and a vast area where more than a thousand people live was completely flooded. For safety reasons, the area was cordoned off and roads were closed.
Children waded and swam through floodwaters to save their parents, and parents saved their children. I went out on a motorbike and it stalled. Last year, we nearly lost our car—we were literally floating in it like a boat. In a neighboring province, heavy rain has been pouring for more than a month; many people have died, livestock has been lost, most of the crops are nearly unusable, and homes are being flooded.
In the past, as a church, we responded to situations like this and were able to help well and meet the needs of those affected, thereby bringing the Gospel. Today, we are praying for an opportunity to help during the Christmas season and bring joy to these people. We also ask you, dear friends, to respond and support us in prayer for these people and these tribes.
I know and believe that if we commit even a little—just a small effort—we will help someone during this difficult time and bring God’s love. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your labor of love.
