If you have a passion for spreading the Gospel, India is one of the most critical mission fields — and now is a key time to support Mission India as they touch kids’ hearts.

Raina Miller with Mission India says, “Giving Tuesday falls during our 10-Day Children’s Bible Club matching challenge, so it’s a great time to take advantage of that…. Every dollar that you give to 10-Day Children’s Bible Clubs is currently being doubled — so $1 is doubled to reach two children with the good news of Jesus!”

India is home to 1.4 billion people, and 96% have never heard the Gospel. Mission India works with local Christian partners for these Children’s Bible Clubs — even as believers face intense persecution.

“India is actually the 11th most dangerous nation in the world for Christians,” Miller explains. “There are people who are ostracized from their communities, they are facing violence, they’re facing intimidation in all different forms for following Christ…. And yet, we’re finding that the more persecution increases, the more the Church grows.”

You can donate to Mission India’s 10-Day Children’s Bible Clubs today at www.missionindia.org/double.

This Giving Tuesday, help make an eternal difference for children in India.

Miller also asks, “Pray that the kids who are reached through the Bible Clubs that are being sponsored during this match would have their hearts changed in a way that pushes them to lead others to Christ as well. [Pray] that it just creates a domino effect where the kids reached through this match then go on to reach entire communities!”

Like many kids in India, she grew up in a home filled with idols and rituals. Worship was familiar — but Jesus was not. Still, something about the songs, stories, and kindness of her Bible Club leaders drew her in.

“She loved hearing about Jesus healing the sick, and His sacrifice on the cross really resonated with her,” says Mission India’s Raina Miller. “So by day seven out of 10 at the Bible Club, she was reflecting on her life and the concept of forgiveness, and she couldn’t stop thinking about Jesus.

“On day nine out of 10, Rohitha invited Jesus into her heart, and she received Him as Savior — and on day 10, she declared her faith publicly!”

Now, Rohitha is part of a local church and prays daily for her parents to know the same hope she’s found.

Stories like hers are why Mission India continues to host 10-Day Children’s Bible Clubs across the country — and why their matching challenge that launched today matters so much!

From now through December 31, a generous partner will match every gift toward Mission India’s 10-Day Children’s Bible Clubs up to $1.1 million.

“Normally, one dollar lets one child attend a Bible Club,” Miller explains. “But through this match, one dollar reaches two children. So this is giving them the chance to attend a Bible Club where they can hear about Jesus — many of them, for the first time.”

Miller adds, “It’s just incredible to see what can happen in the span of only 10 days. You would think that’s such a short time, but kids’ lives turn around in that short amount of time, and they’re introduced to Jesus. It changes their lives forever, and it gives their parents the chance to have their lives changed as well.”

“Many generations of his family have cast spells and done black magic. He was living in a way in which his entire life was consumed with the pursuit of magic, satanic spells,” says Erik Ouimette with Uncharted Ministries.

An Uncharted team member met Ramon one day and asked him to share a meal. The Christian man could sense “a real darkness, a real hardness” about Ramon, says Ouimette. Their conversation proved it.

“Ramon talked voluminously about his spells and his books of dark magic and how that gave him power, how that gave him a sense of meaning and of not being useless in this world — despite the fact he had no relationships with anybody, no job, nothing in his life was going well,” says Ouimette.

“Ramon, it sounds like you’re someone who wants significance and meaning in your life,” the Christian finally replied. “It sounds like you want great purpose, and you know that with great purpose comes power to do things.” 

“Yes, yes I do,” Ramon said. 

The Christian asked if he could tell Ramon about a real person who had been in Egypt before, who had an entire book filled with stories about the miracles He did — stories not of black magic but of light, truth, and beauty.

Ramon listened quietly to the Christian retell the gospel, going all the way through Jesus’s birth — including His time in Egypt as a child — His life, His miracles, and then about His death. He could see that Ramon had not heard about the cross before.

At the end, the Christian asked Ramon if he was drawn to what he had just heard about Jesus. 

“Oh yes, I’m very attracted. This sounds very great,” Ramon said. “This man sounds powerful, but he also sounds kind. This man sounds like he has great purpose for those who follow him, but it seems different than [what] I’m aware of.”

They talked further about what it means to follow Jesus. And just like that, over one simple meal and conversation, Ramon turned from chasing satanic power to accepting the all-powerful God.

“After he accepted Christ, he returned to his home,” says Ouimette. “He brought his big, generations-old books of spells and magic. He brought them out, and he burned them. It was a literal understanding that the figurative past needs to be put to death.”

Living in the light

Ramon is now connected with a small group of believers that Uncharted is working with in his city. There, he will be discipled in his new faith. Praise God, and pray for others in Egypt like Ramon to find Jesus. Pray that Ramon would not be tempted by any renewed desires for personal power.

“The reality of evil means that we need a Savior who is more powerful than the evil one. We find that in Jesus Christ,” says Ouimette. “That will be Ramon’s story, and the story of what we pray will be a generational turn for people in his family.”

In light of this story, Ouimette encourages all Christians to take spiritual realities seriously. However hidden or obvious the evil around us is, don’t excuse it (Ephesians 5:7-16).

“I think we don’t do ourselves any favors when we sanitize the true power of evil. We have to truly call it out for what it is. It is the opposite of the holiness and brightness of light, which means that it’s evil. It’s dark. It’s really bad for us,” says Ouimette. “When we pass it over, we tend to not realize that the power is very real over people who are worshiping the realm of darkness.”

According to Newman Ministry, some congregations are seeing as much as a 15% increase.

Pews are overflowing. Churchgoers are parking on lawns and side streets. Bible sales are soaring, with over one million more sold than this time last year.

Generation Z grew up in a culture saturated by moral relativism and the idea that “your truth” is all that matters. Now, many are realizing they want real. They want authentic. They want Truth.

And people are seeking it in Jesus — the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (John 14:6)

What is Revival?

“I think it’s obvious that God is speaking,” says Stan Key, Minister-at-Large with OneWay Ministries. “It’s not obvious what He is saying. But it’s obvious that through the events of Charlie Kirk’s death, particularly, the whole country is talking about the Gospel in his memorial service. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word Jesus named more frequently than was named there by our religious leaders and our political leaders.”

Critics were quick to question the motives of those who shared the Gospel at Kirk’s memorial service on September 21, which was attended by 100,000 people and viewed by millions more online.

Yet, as the Gospel is proclaimed, the question of motive is addressed by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 1:18: “What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.”

If this is the beginning of a spiritual revival in America, Key encourages believers not to miss what the Holy Spirit is doing.

“A lot of people think revival is enthusiasm. It’s sort of like a pep rally before a big game. ‘Let’s just get everybody in the stands, turn up the music, and have an emotionally charged speech.’ That’s emotionalism. There’s a place for that. I like pep rallies in sports, and I like emotion in worship! I get goosebumps. I sometimes cry. That’s not necessarily revival.

“Revival is when the Spirit of Holiness — the Holy Spirit, the sanctifying Spirit — is manifestly present…. And what does the Holy Spirit typically do? Well, He convicts of sin. He brings people to repentance. There’s a hunger and thirst for God, not for the secondary elements, but for God. The Word of God is present, the spirit of prayer, and the spirit of brokenness.”

Historic examples of spiritual revival in the U.S. include the Asbury Revivals of 1970 and 2023. Key’s wife was a student during the 1970 revival, and Key himself attended soon after.

He recalls, “People just said God was there. It wasn’t about a preacher, it wasn’t about music, it wasn’t about signs and wonders. It was about a palpable awareness that the Spirit of God is here.”

The Heart of Revival and Reformation

At the heart of revival, Key says, must be the true Gospel. “To be candid, I think my generation has had a very muddled understanding of the Gospel. We have tended to understand the Gospel in terms of the plan of salvation. ‘God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. He can forgive your sins, so when you die several decades from now, you can go to Heaven.’ That’s not the Gospel. That’s the plan of salvation.

“I think the first priority of the Church today is, ‘Do we have the Gospel right?’” Key emphasizes, “It’s not about helping us go to Heaven. It’s so we can have the image of God restored in our lives…. The world is under new management. Jesus is Lord. That’s the Gospel.”

In light of the Gospel, how then should we live our lives?

“If we can get the Gospel right, not only will revival come, but reformation will come,” says Key.

Reformation happens when revival takes root in daily life by engaging with God’s Word. Cambridge Dictionary defines reformation as “the act of making an improvement, especially by changing a person’s behavior or the structure of something.”

Whether America is on the brink of revival remains to be seen.

But one thing is certain: People are talking about Jesus.

Put simply, Key says, “Revival is when the life of God comes upon God’s people to bring them to life again.”

Pray for this spiritual hunger to deepen across the United States as people give their hearts and lives to King Jesus.

But in prisons, the dynamic changes. An incarcerated extremist becomes, quite literally, a captive audience for the Gospel.

Greg Von Tobel, President of Prisoners for Christ (PFC), says, “When we talk about third-world prisons, there are a lot of terrorist groups that have found themselves in prison.

“What better opportunity to share the love of Christ with some of the hardest of hearts that are bent on evil and having them come to know Lord, getting released, going back to their communities and sharing the love of Christ?”

PFC helps believers behind bars start churches in prisons across the developing world. For terrorists, these church gatherings are often the first place they hear about Jesus.

Don Szolomayer, PFC’s Director of International Affairs, explains that many inmates enter prison churches simply out of curiosity. “And it says, ‘This is a safe place. This is a place you can come, you can ask questions, you can learn, you can grow.’”

Still, sharing the Gospel is only the beginning. Von Tobel stresses the importance of building up new believers in the faith during their incarceration.

“We have to have the discipleship piece – feeding and growing inmates that are babes in the Word of God, and watching them and growing them into great warriors for the cause of Christ.”

Pray for extremists in prison to turn to Christ, and become warriors for God’s mercy and truth!

Pray also for believers who lead these prison churches — that God would equip them with wisdom, courage, and perseverance as they disciple new Christians behind bars.

 “It’s a Bible college inside the prison for inmates,” explains Don Szolomayer, Director of International Affairs at PFC. “There are 143 total lessons in the whole course. So it takes about three to four years, depending. But the goal is once they go through all of that, those who graduate from it now become what we call an inmate chaplain.”

These inmate chaplains are trained to evangelize, teach, and disciple others through Scripture. The impact of this ministry is spreading.

Recently, Nigeria’s prison chaplains took their training to a new level. “About three or four weeks ago, they held a crusade with all of their inmate chaplains that have graduated,” says Szolomayer.

“They got permission from the officer in charge to go cell-by-cell evangelizing. Then on top of that, they had a full crusade out in the yard. This all went on for over a week and a half!

“So here is this group of men in this prison who’ve gone through this course, and now they’re putting feet to what they learned. They’re taking it actually step-by-step out into that prison — not just holding it to themselves — but actually going out and evangelizing and discipling.”

Szolomayer says prison staff are even noticing the change. “Something that we hear very often when we go into the prisons and the jails in other countries is, ‘How soon are you coming back?’ Because the officers see the difference that it’s making in their prison.”

Greg Von Tobel, President of PFC, emphasizes that this vision extends beyond Nigeria: “Our primary focus is to share the love of Christ and to save unrepentant sinners and move them to a situation where they’re now saved and can disciple other people.”

Yet, growth depends on resources. “If we had more volunteers that were qualified to go into prisons, we could cover more countries,” says Von Tobel. “Last year, we had 2.1 million inmates that attended our services. Out of that, as best as we can determine, 73,000 men, women, and children said yes to Jesus for the very first time.”

Learn more about PFC at their website and find ways to get involved.

Pray for more inmate chaplains to step up, and that prison officers would continue welcoming Gospel transformation inside. Ask God to multiply discipleship through Nigeria’s prison churches, that they may know Christ!

Their signature event, the Warriors Battle, is a three-day, camp-style retreat aimed at helping men confront the past and walk in biblical freedom.

Steve Prince, director of Warriors Set Free, says, “We’re training them up to win life’s battles. The war has been won. Jesus has conquered everything — but we have battles to fight to live this life victoriously.”

The ministry welcomes veterans, first responders, and even civilians—if they bring a veteran with them. The retreat follows an acronym called TRIP: truth, relationships, identity, and purpose.

“We teach biblical principles to overcome suicidal thoughts [and] PTSD symptoms,” says Prince. “We have them tell their story, apply biblical principles of confess, repent, forgive, and we get to watch God help them unpack the pain from their past.”

The retreat’s impact is often immediate. “We have wives who are shocked when their husbands come home and they notice the difference from day one,” Prince says. “We encourage the guys, ‘Don’t go home and tell your wife that you’re different. Live it out, be present, love your wife, spend time, serve.’”

One man told Prince he wouldn’t have made it to his 25th anniversary without what he learned through Warriors Set Free.

Another veteran, Jeremiah, accepted Christ at the retreat and began praying for his estranged son. Prince says four days later, Jeremiah’s son texted him — angrily. “Jeremiah is like, ‘You’re right. I was wrong.’ In his humility and in his honesty, his son wanted to reconnect…. God restored that relationship because of Jeremiah’s obedience.”

Warriors Set Free also offers one-day Freedom Appointments in person or over video call. “It doesn’t matter where the warrior, the veteran, the first responder is — we can set up a video appointment and share what we do.”

Upcoming Warriors Battle retreats are posted at warriorssetfree.org/battle.

“If you have a veteran in your life that’s hurting, first pray for them,” Prince urges. “Then check out Warrior Set Free and see if they’re willing to connect with us.”

Jehiel Ortiz with Trans World Radio describes the situation for immigrants at the beginning of 2025 as a roller coaster. “Everything was going up and down, up and down. You [could] see at that time the uncertainty that the people have in their faces, in their expression, and the reality that they feel hopeless.”  

The surge of detentions, deportations, and policy changes since January has stirred up a lot of fear. That’s why the team at RTM USA (TWR’s Spanish-language ministry) created a new podcast, Esperanza en el Camino, or Hope Along the Way. Through honest conversations with show guests, Ortiz wants listeners to find the hope of Christ in a deeper way, or perhaps for the first time in their lives.

“We use our voice to remind them, ‘Jesus Christ is your hope, your only hope, no matter what situation you are living,’” he says. “All people from all countries [need] to know the hope that is in Jesus Christ.”

Being an immigrant is an experience not everyone has. But spiritually speaking, every Christian can relate to this experience. 

“There’s a reality that happens even though you spend years in one country that is not your [home] country, you always feel like you don’t belong 100%,” Ortiz says. 

“Automatically, [when] you are a believer, you are not part of this world. You know that this is not your final home, that there’s something for you in another place.” 

Join in praying that Hope Along the Way reaches and transforms immigrants in the most difficult circumstances. Ortiz explains it’s not about the number of listeners. Instead, it’s about what God will do in people’s hearts. 

“When you receive testimony of transformation, that’s when you [say], ‘YES!’” he says. “Pray for grace. Pray they can really trust God no matter what.”

Politics and legal counsel are outside of the scope of Hope Along the Way. Instead, the good news of Jesus is center. 

“They need to understand — as any of us need to understand — that the life here is temporary, and nothing in this world can compare to Jesus. Nothing, absolutely nothing,” Ortiz says. 

“When you understand that nothing this world can offer can compare to what Jesus Christ offer[s] for you, man, that’s the big difference. So let’s pray for that.”

Raina Miller with Mission India says, “His parents were fighting at home all the time. His dad was really busy with work, and his mom was busy performing rituals to their gods because she was very superstitious. His parents had differing belief systems and it caused a lot of arguments between them.”

A friend had invited Akil to the 10-Day Bible Club run by Mission India. What started as a simple invitation turned into something life-changing.

“He was just surrounded by love and joy like he hadn’t experienced before — and stability that he definitely didn’t have at home,” says Miller. “As he was at the Bible Club each day, he felt relaxed in a way that he didn’t feel at home.”

Akil played games with other kids, sang songs, and most importantly, heard about Jesus for the first time.

Miller says, “He noticed that the Bible stories he was hearing contradicted what his parents believed, but he believed in them, and he believed in Jesus. He was moved and received Jesus as his Savior!”

Akil returned home transformed and he began sharing the Bible stories he learned with his family. His mother, moved by the change in her son, left behind her superstitious practices. By God’s grace, there is more peace now in Akil’s home.

While Akil’s parents haven’t yet made decisions to follow Jesus, they are open and curious — and continuing to explore the Gospel because of their son’s testimony.

Miller says stories like Akil’s aren’t uncommon. “We see kids all the time leading others to Christ…. Kids come to a Bible Club for the first day and love it so much that they want to bring their brothers and sisters and friends the next day. So the impact just grows from there.”

With 356 million children under the age of 15, India holds one of the greatest opportunities to reach the next generation for Jesus.

This Easter, Mission India is inviting believers to get involved in a simple but powerful way.

Through April 21, donations to the 10-Day Children’s Bible Clubs are being matched dollar for dollar, up to $350,000. That means every $1 sends two children like Akil to a Bible Club where they’ll hear about Jesus — and potentially change their families from the inside out.

“I don’t know what better Easter gift you could give than introducing a child to Jesus,” says Miller.

Years later, God opened the door for that dream to come true. Today, Shady is a host on SAT-7 KIDS, using his platform to encourage children as Lebanon faces new turmoil.

Shady has lived through two conflicts, including the latest Israel-Hezbollah war which has rattled Lebanon. Tensions still continue under a precarious ceasefire. Yet, Shady is using his platform to point Lebanese and refugee children to Jesus.

Joe Willey with SAT-7 explains, “Instead of saying, ‘Wait, God, why me?’ [Shady] is presenting and saying, ‘I understand what you are going through. I have lived through it, and I’m living through it again. And there is no hope like the hope that Christ gives.'”

Shady recently saw the lasting impact of SAT-7 KIDS firsthand when he visited a displacement camp. There, he met two young sisters watching the channel, singing along to worship songs, and reciting the Bible verses from the shows.

“Our situations can change,” says Willey. “In the life of [Shady], it changed drastically and quickly. But he also celebrates that Jesus Christ never changes. So that is something that young people in the Middle East and North Africa are hearing and need to hear.”

Praise God for how He is working in the hearts of children in Lebanon through SAT-7!

Willey emphasizes, “Making God’s love visible to people who are in a difficult time is important and it will matter – and it will matter for eternity.”
