God is reaching and restoring the lives of widows, one elderly woman in particular, through unexpected means: a posho vegetable shop. 

Terebinth has worked in Uganda for years, helping communities rebuild after years of war and tragedy had torn neighborhoods and families apart.

World Challenge’s partners in Egypt are helping women escape terrible home situations and building up their faith in a heavenly Father who loves them.

A pastor who escaped the Soviet Union shares his testimony and reflects on the current war in Ukraine as well as what this means for the Slavic church. 

Suicide rates in the United States have historically never been higher, but World Challenge’s partners are offering an answer and support to teens who are struggling with this self-destructive desire. 

Although they obviously never met, Sigmund Freud, agnostic and slightly demented psychologist, agreed on one point with the eminent theologian John Wesley: people are terrible.

Freud made an admirable, life-long habit of responding personally in letters to anyone who wrote him, even if they were not a fan. Pastor Oskar Pfister was a friend of Freud’s, but he also qualified as a critic. While he agreed with some of Freud’s psychoanalytic philosophies, others disturbed him.

The church in eSwatini rallied to save a girl’s life and then continued to meet a grave need in their nation. 

Timothy Myeni, the Nkilongo Member of eSwatini’s parliament, bluntly stated to their prime minister on March 31^st, “We are living in fear, violence is escalating in this country and we don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

God is blessing our partner in India despite hardships, and they are raising their hands in praise for the lives that he is mending and stitching together. 

We celebrated with one of our partners in India when he got married at the very beginning of last year. His wife is lovely and a little shy, and they are very happy together.

Church leaders in India are listening to God’s direction as they care for their neighbors and spread the good news about Christ. 

God is using a Bible school and widows to bring healing, new businesses and renewed life to communities in Uganda. 

“Due to years of war and disease, the number of widows and fatherless children in Northern Uganda is extremely high,” the ministry team at Terebinth shared.
