Right now you and I are living in the greatest moment in history. With the persecution of believers increasing worldwide and the population of humanity reaching 7 billion lives, never before has there been such an opportunity to shine the light of Christ and pierce the darkness.

Jesus said in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

No matter where you are in life, we’re all interconnected through our experiences and the choices we make. We don’t simply share the same road. We are friends, family, and neighbors sharing one heart.

Together we don’t just make things happen, we change the world. Thanks to your boldness and generosity, we’ve brought comfort to the hurting, hope to those who feel forgotten, and the light of truth to the farthest reaches of the Earth.
