In Malawi, we are working carefully and mindfully in Muslim communities, sharing the love of Christ while respecting the local culture. While we must be cautious, we know God has a bigger plan and is faithfully guiding us every step of the way. His provision and faithfulness have been evident.

We trust that He will continue to lead us in bringing hope and truth.

✨ 2024: God’s Work in Southeast Asia

This year, through your prayers and support, Equipping Leaders International has expanded to 96 new villages, bringing the total to 216 villages impacted by the Gospel. With over 40,000 unreached villages in this region, we continue to answer the call to spread God’s Word.

God has blessed us with 216 churches now actively serving their communities, and our team includes 63 men and 18 women leaders guiding and supporting these villages and churches.

We are partnering with a Christian leadership network that is reaching over 7,500 people, seeing 482 baptisms and conversions to Christ this year. Praise God! 🙌 We are also training 50 Timothys to continue multiplying leaders for the Kingdom.

As we look to 2025, we need your prayers and support to raise $55,000 to expand this incredible work with our leadership partners work in Southeast Asia.

Together, we are making a lasting impact in Southeast Asia! 🌍✨

✨ 2024: God’s Continued Work in Tanzania - Part 2 ✨

Through the power of technology, Equipping Leaders International is teaching 550+ pastors each month via Zoom across 4 different locations in Tanzania! 🙌

Pastor Moses, one of our faithful “Timothys,” is personally training 70 pastors monthly and hosting in-person conferences to equip even more leaders for ministry.

As we look ahead, we have two big prayer and funding needs:
🙏 Pray for 200 Swahili study Bibles to be funded ($6,000 total).
🙏 Pray for the funds to host 40 additional training events in 2025, which will impact 2,000+ pastors ($14,400).

Together, we are reaching and equipping leaders who will transform the church in Tanzania and beyond! 🌍✨

✨ 2024: God Moving in Tanzania

In early November, leaders in Tanzania and Zanzibar gathered for a course on Worship and Sacraments. Together, they explored what Scripture teaches about worshiping God in holiness, designing biblically grounded worship services, and understanding the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

Despite their diverse denominations and worship styles, these leaders were united in their openness to learn and grow. 🙌 This is a beautiful reminder that the Holy Spirit is at work, guiding His people through faithful teaching.

Thank you for supporting the Lydia Network and Equipping Leaders International as we help leaders grow in their faith and strengthen the global church!

Merry Christmas from grandma’s house! Our precious family celebrates with so many traditions. From matching Jammies to baking monkey bread to opening gifts from hand knit stockings, to my birthday on Christmas Eve - it’s truly all of the feels, full of Christmas cheer (and little sleep!). 😆

I pray your Christmas was filled with hope, warmth, and the joy of celebrating our Savior’s birth. What a gift it is to reflect on His love and faithfulness as we close out the year.

2024 has been an exciting and impactful year for the Lydia Network! Together, we’ve celebrated milestones like:
✨ Attending the TGCW Conference
✨ Welcoming over 25 new Lydias this fall
✨ Funding motorbikes for remote pastors in Africa to reach their communities

Thank you for being part of this community. Your prayers, support, and encouragement make this work possible. Let’s step into 2025 laser focused to live on mission- with hearts full of faith and anticipation for all God has planned! 🙌🏻

With love and gratitude,
Lauren
