“And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.” 1 Kings 9:3

We want to begin by thanking you for your continued prayers and support for our family and the ministry here. Your encouragement and faithful intercession mean more than words can express. We are grateful to labor together with you for the sake of the gospel.

As many of you have seen in recent news, tensions in the Middle East have been increasing, particularly concerning Iran and the surrounding region. Because of these developments, governments have begun taking precautionary measures for their citizens in several countries across the Middle East. Many Americans have been advised to leave or are being evacuated from certain nations in the region.

By God’s providence, the country where the Lord has placed us is a neighboring border country that is currently not included in those evacuation advisories. While we remain aware of the seriousness of the situation around us, we are also reminded that the Lord orders the steps of His servants. We believe it is no accident that He has placed us here in this specific location during this time. We continue to trust His guidance and protection as we move forward in the work He has given us to do.

At the same time, we are approaching an important timeline regarding our ability to remain in this country long term. We currently have approximately seven months remaining to secure a stable immigration solution that would allow us to continue serving here. Without a long-term solution, remaining in the country may become increasingly difficult.

A Long-Term Solution

As we have prayed and sought counsel, one potential solution that has become increasingly clear is the possibility of purchasing property.

This would accomplish two important goals:

• Provide greater stability for long-term residency

• Establish a permanent meeting place for the local congregation

At present, our meetings and ministry activities take place in a temporary setting. Having a permanent location would allow believers to gather consistently for worship, teaching, discipleship, and fellowship. It would also serve as a center for outreach and ministry to those in the surrounding community who are searching for truth.

The need for the gospel in this region is great. Many people are seeking hope, direction, and truth. We have already witnessed a genuine hunger for the Word of God, and opportunities to share the message of Christ continue to open before us.

A permanent place for the congregation would strengthen the ministry and allow the work here to continue growing and reaching others.

The 100 Partner Campaign

To move forward with this first step of faith, we are launching what we are calling the 100 Partner Campaign.

The concept is simple and achievable when many people participate together.

Goal

100 partners × $1,000 = $100,000

This would allow us to move forward toward purchasing property that could serve both as a long-term ministry base and a permanent gathering place for the church.

Some may be able to give the full amount. Others may wish to combine their gifts with friends, families, or churches.

Examples:

• 100 partners × $1,000 = $100,000

• 200 partners × $500 = $100,000

• 400 partners × $250 = $100,000

Every gift, large or small, moves us closer to establishing a permanent place for the work of the gospel.

What This Property Would Provide

A permanent location would allow the ministry to have:

• A consistent meeting place for the local congregation

• A location for Bible teaching and discipleship

• Space for fellowship and encouragement among believers

• A center for outreach and ministry in the surrounding community

• A long-term foundation for future ministry growth

In a region where stable places for Christian fellowship are often limited, a permanent meeting place would become a lighthouse for the gospel.

How You Can Be Involved

We ask you to prayerfully consider how the Lord might lead you to participate.

You can partner in three important ways:

1. Pray

Please pray fervently with us in the coming months:

• For wisdom as we navigate decisions ahead

• For continued protection during uncertain regional tensions

• For clear guidance regarding the purchase of property

• For the growth and strengthening of the local congregation

2. Share

Consider sharing this need with others who may have a burden for the spread of the gospel in this region of the world.

3. Partner

If the Lord places it on your heart, consider becoming one of the 100 partners helping make this vision possible.

Together we can establish a permanent place that will serve the gospel for many years to come.

Thank you again for your faithful prayers, encouragement, and support. We are continually reminded that this work is not done alone. The Lord has graciously surrounded us with friends and fellow laborers who stand with us in prayer and partnership.

We trust Him to provide every step of the way and are grateful to walk this path together with you.
