Liberated by Christ. Stand Firm. Be Fruitful

0 comment | Categories: Mission Workers, Papua New Guinea

More Than a Library

By Robyn Whitefern | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah, Volunteers and Supporters

I didn’t go to this rural area of Eastern Malaysia with undue expectations of what I might encounter. I’ve served overseas before, so any nervousness I had was more about whether I would serve effectively where God had sent me.

Growing a Ministry of Belonging

By Priscilla Chiu | 0 comment | Categories: Malaysia Sabah

When we first began Handprints Ministry in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, we did not start with expertise, funding strategies, or a long-term plan. We started with a conviction: that every person is precious in God’s eyes, and that love must be made visible. Handprints Toy Library and Resource Centre was the very first expression of this […]

Life at Bibelvrouw, an all‑female theological training community in Laguboti, Indonesia, moves to a steady and deliberate rhythm. Days are shaped by discipline and shared responsibility, requiring both attentiveness and endurance.

0 comment | Categories: Papua New Guinea
