December 2025 Prayer Calendar

Hi Prayer Partner,

As we step into December, I find myself asking, Where has this year gone?!

As 2025 comes to a close, I hope you can find a moment to pause, to look back, to breathe, and to thank God for His incredible faithfulness.

He has done so much. And yet, we continue to live in that holy tension of celebrating all He has done while standing in faith for everything still ahead.

Thank you for praying with us this year. It means more than you know.

Just a few days ago, I shared a short video, a glimpse into what God has been doing, and a reminder of what remains unfinished. We’re praying and trusting God to help us raise $150,000 to plant 42 new churches among people who have never heard the name of Jesus. Would you join us in praying toward this?

I’ve just returned from an incredible trip to Ethiopia, spending time with brothers and sisters who are carrying the gospel into places it has never gone before. Their humility, courage, and passion challenged me deeply. They are doing whatever it takes to reach the least-reached.

And I want you to know: you are part of this.

Your prayers, your generosity, your heart for the nations, these are the very seeds God uses to open doors among unreached peoples.

One leader I spent time with was my brother Ashenafi, who serves part-time with Global Disciples in Ethiopia and oversees multiple discipleship trainings for new disciple-makers.

Not long ago, he led a training where one of the church planters was sent to a people group deep in the jungle near the Kenya–Sudan border. In just three months, 542 people put their faith in Jesus Christ.

A people group that had never heard the gospel.

Men and women once bound in fear, following witch doctors and tribal gods, but now, over 500 new believers are standing in the hope and freedom of Christ.

What a story.
What a Savior!

Thank you for praying for leaders like Ashenafi. Prayer is the foundation of everything we do, and you are truly a vital part of this mission.

Blessings to you and your family this Christmas season. He is the reason for the season!

As you pray this month, I’d love for you to download our December Prayer Calendar — it’s full of specific ways you can stand with leaders and churches around the world.

Until the whole world knows,
