Join with IMB and the Southern Baptist Convention as we send out 20 new missionaries to the nations.

When most people think of Russia, they may conjure up images of Romanov royalty, a parade of dictators like Stalin and Lenin or Brezhnev, or maybe cultural icons such as Mikhail Baryshnikov or Dostoyevsky. They don’t think of Muslims. But Islam is part of the fabric of old Russia—it made it there 66 years before Christianity did. As a result, Muslim groups are indigenous to the North Caucasus reg...

Jared and Tara Jones knew that God could do a lot with something little. But they never imagined just how many doors He would open through their infant son, whose adoption people had told them was almost impossible in Japan. In the East Asian country, 40,000 children live in orphanages, but parents rarely give up their rights so that a child can be adopted. But the Joneses knew God had placed a b...

When you’re a team of 12, how do you even start to reach a city of more than 28 million people? That’s a question Todd Beel’s team in Mexico City asks itself a lot. He and fellow IMB missionaries in the megacity hail from places ranging from Colombia to Cuba and from Korea to Tennessee. They represent a diverse collection of backgrounds and skillsets all working together. Some work with young fam...

When it comes to praying for missionaries, IMB President David Platt said there’s one thing to keep in mind. It matters. It isn’t just a rushed or mechanical exercise, he said—”God has ordained our prayer as a means to accomplish His purpose in the world. We’ve got to be aware that our praying for boldness for missionaries is actually going to affect whether or not they have boldness. When we pra...

At Shane and Lindsay Mikeska’s house in London, Christmas tradition is anything but traditional. Holiday after holiday, the world converges in their kitchen. “Last year, we had an Iranian student and Indian student baking Christmas cookies with a girl from Lebanon and another from Hong Kong,” Shane said. And as they all sat down to eat dinner, a traditional Mexican meal that the Mikeskas prepare ...

The streets that line the city where Radford and Sarah Bagby* live are the kind people in the United States would find to go four-wheeler riding. “Get outside of that, and it’s so much worse,” Radford says. And outside of that is exactly where they’re trying to go. Getting to the 28 people groups in the mountains of Nepal takes a journey of weeks by car, plane, and trekking on foot—and that’s if ...

Don Alan* says he remembers a refugee telling him once that he didn’t feel alive, but he wasn’t dead either—he was somewhere in between. “Hopelessness is a universal feeling among refugees,” Don said. “They feel forgotten.” That’s why IMB missionaries like Don, who serves in North Africa and the Middle East, and Seth Payton*, who works with refugees in Europe, spend their lives taking hope into t...

Dilara’s* heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she found the building. She had seen it in a dream—Jesus had picked her up from her bed one night and led her there through the streets of her Central Asian town. In the dream, He had asked her if she was ready to believe, and she’d seen three men standing in the front of the church. When she found the building a few weeks later and walked inside...

Ganbaru is a Japanese word that, roughly translated, means to tough it out, persevere, and focusing on completing the task in front of you. Although they were told it would be difficult, even impossible to do the work they were called to, one family is seeing the fruit of their faithfulness to God’ call on their lives. Through a church plant in their pediatricians’ office, they are able to share w...

London isn’t just an English city, it’s a world city. Every nation, culture, and religion in the world is represented here. More than 100,000 students are studying in London from all around the world and we, as Christians, have the opportunity to present them with the gospel. Working with these students, Shane and Lindsay are able to spread the gospel around the world, all from one global city....

"God has already promised that his kingdom is coming but we have to choose to do exactly what he’s asked us to do -- to make a difference for his kingdom through his power. My hope is that we will see God’s kingdom built and established in Nepal." Amidst difficult weather conditions, impossible terrain, and natural disasters, God is moving and making things new. We have an opportunity to share hi...

Mexico City is a gigantic city of more than 28 million people from all around the world. It’s not an isolated country full of mariachis. Mega cities present a unique set of challenges for friendship and community. Working with national partners, seminaries, and partnerships with U.S. churches, the lord has put together a team with different experiences and backgrounds, working together with diff...

Our God is creative, and we are creative in his image. It is he who inspires us toward art, music, and poetry. And it makes perfect sense that he would use the artists he has made for his mission — photographers, videographers, writers, editors, marketers, graphic designers, and others.

What would you do if God called you to a specific place and then are forced to leave? If God hasn’t changed your call, then you make adjustments to your daily work and keep moving towards God’s call. See how God can move through the simple dedication of someone who wasn’t ready to quit on what they had been called to.

The urbanization of Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to be the fastest population shift from rural to urban centers in history. Though huts and remote villages remain prevalent fixtures of the African landscape, the continent is redefining itself with bustling economies, technological enterprise, and fast-paced lifestyles.
