• Lifting Up Peru’s Church

    Pastors and leaders from across the Amazon gathered to receive encouragement from World Challenge speakers.

    East of the Andes is a city in Peru named Iquitos. Located in an ideal position to reach the northern Amazon and the tribes that live in this jungle region, it can only be reached by boat or by air travel.

  • A City on a Hill

    A tribe threatened to kidnap our teams when they tried to share the gospel...then the Holy Spirit touched this village.

    Our teams in Liberia have felt a deep missional calling to the tribes in their area, including the Poro in the village of Wehyeepa. After overcoming many challenges, spiritual revival has sparked in this village, transforming it into a beacon of light to a community that has historically deeply opposed Christianity.

  • Evangelism Underground

    In regions hostile to Christianity, some pay the ultimate price.

    Being a disciple of Christ in areas of the Muslim World is dangerous. *Salem’s brother knew this when he dedicated his life to Jesus. Salem and his family were devout Muslims, so his brother’s conversion horrified them. Not only had he begun worshipping Christ, but he was also sharing the gospel with others.

  • To the Ends of the Earth

    In one corner of Ghana, our partners reached a Muslim tribe who had not heard the gospel before.

    World Challenge’s partners in Ghana knew of a nearby tribe, called the Fulani, who were almost exclusively Muslim. This tribe has a rich cultural heritage and a nomadic lifestyle that takes them through many remote, rural areas. Several leaders on the team had a heart for this tribe, so they began researching the tribe’s customs and values to best speak to their needs.
