Edward

Edward* serves in a closed country where there are very few Christians. After graduating from University and completing a ministry training course at his church, he felt called to overseas work. Edward first met people from his country of service, while doing outreach in London, and felt God was calling him to serve there. He teaches Maths, Physics, and English at a University.

Edward is part of a team that aims to share the good news of Jesus with local people. Because public ministry is not possible in his country, he is seeking to win his colleagues and friends to Christ through private conversations and by reading God’s word with them. Though the spiritual ground is hard, he has already had exciting opportunities to share the gospel.

Could you partner with Edward in this work?

Creative Access

We use ‘Creative Access’ to refer to nations, areas or ministries where there is great hostility towards Christianity and where traditional ‘missionary work’ is not possible. Workers, therefore, need to be ‘creative’ in how they proclaim the liberating news of Jesus Christ. In North Africa alone, 200 million people from 472 unreached people groups are unreached with the gospel. That’s 200 million people unknowingly heading for a Christ-less eternity. LEARN MORE
