In countries where sharing the gospel is dangerous, or even illegal, people are hungry for truth. We hear stories every day from spiritually oppressed areas in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
God is moving in miraculous ways. In the past, it was a celebration when just one person declared Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Now, tens of thousands are claiming Jesus as their Savior or wanting to know more about Him.
As people continue to stare down their futures with uncertainty, they are asking the “big questions” more urgently:
The current uncertainty is causing many to question their traditional beliefs and look to Jesus for answers. God is using working in the chaos and crises around the world to turn lives to Him!
But many missionaries are still facing a very grim reality:
Staff around the world, especially in “frontline” countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, are unable to raise funds from many of their supporters. And many are depleting their savings—just to live.
Because these missionaries live in dangerous countries, often working in secret, they can’t advertise online or make their needs public.
As one missionary in the Middle East aptly stated: “What we do is illegal.”
Almost all the Cru staff in these places have to raise their support during face-to-face visits. And it’s no surprise that this is now next to impossible.
With many areas restricting movement, staff simply don’t have the money to continue their ministry. And soon, they won’t have money for essentials—like food, medicine and housing.
Without immediate help, some of these men and women will have to leave full-time ministry and try to find another way to provide for their families. And as jobs are scarce, even this may not be an option.
For many staff members, there are no other options.
On average, it only costs $300 per month to fund a frontline missionary.
