AIMing Across Borders Around the World - Oct '25

Kenya – Medical Outreach through International Missions Board

We showed the Jesus Film every night at a different location but always near the churches and homes of pastors we trained last October. This directly connects the pastors that were trained in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development to new believers so that those accepting Christ can come into their churches, join a body of believers and begin growing as disciples of Jesus.

We have found that showing the Jesus film in KiMasai is a powerful tool to share the Gospel with those living in this area, most of whom may have never seen a movie in their life. This is another link in the chain of our strategy to equip and empower African churches to grow, to be healthier, and then go out to plant new churches. Turnout this year was lower than last year because there have been many more elephants in the area recently and many were afraid to be walking at night. Human-wildlife conflict is very real for these people. A child was killed by elephants last year in this community.

A group of nurse practitioners and nursing students from a university joined our missionary friends Jay and Nikki treating tribal people at a medical camp among the Masai. The radically different culture transition was difficult for the American students at first, but with encouragement, everyone on the team blossomed and were thoroughly embracing the culture and people after a couple of days.

The Jesus Film was shown every night at a different location but always near the churches and homes of pastors that were trained in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development. New believers accepting Christ from this outreach can easily join a body of believers and begin growing as disciples of Jesus.

Ethiopia – A New Church is Birthed through NewLife Ethiopia

Joy Casey recently visited this hut church that is the first Christian presence in an Ethiopian village where Islam is the dominant religion. She shared the Word with the people using two translators – from English to Amharic to Hadiyya.

A large solar charged audio Bible was brought for the people to gather and hear God’s word in their language. The majority of the people in this village are non-readers and regular listening times will be set up for people to listen, learn and discuss scripture as the Holy Spirit leads.

Athens – Sex Trafficking through One Collective 

Meet Alexia Price who HPC is helping to launch into full-time missions in Athens, Greece with One Collective.  She will serve in the red-light district of Athens and engage with trafficked women, men and children. Serving with a multicultural, multilingual team they will respond holistically to those they meet and with the radical love of Christ.  Her education and skills will be used as an Ethical Storyteller.  Alexia’s work will consist of gathering and sharing stories through online platforms to raise local support and awareness of trafficking in Greece.  Through written and visual media, she hopes to restore a voice to those silenced by exploitation, always honoring their dignity and the values of the local freedom network. Alongside storytelling, she will also join her team in brothel outreaches where the earliest steps of restoration begin.  

India – Pioneer Evangelism through Project 92

The Northern part of India is known as the “Hindi belt” due to the staunch adherence to Hinduism by millions of people who live there.  The gospel has difficulty gaining a foothold in this barren land, and evangelistic activity is often met with stiff resistance.  Simply carrying a Bible, for example, could land you in jail.  Nonetheless, God loves these people and wants them to hear about and believe in Christ.

In the Southern part of India, hammers and chisels have been hard at work in the construction of a facility dedicated primarily for training indigenous missionaries from North India and for North India.  Training will be tailored for their specific ministry context, so that when they go back, they will be as effective as possible.

In a few months from now (January 2026) the training center aims to open its doors to the first batch of 12-16 students.  These carefully-recruited missionaries are already involved in mission work in their areas, some perhaps bearing on their bodies the marks of suffering for Jesus.  They will come to the training center for a 9-month intensive course combining both academics and practicums.  Upon completion they will be redeployed to their areas, joining and augmenting missionary teams that are already operating in those places.
