The encouragement and support that teams can bring to our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ is immeasurable. Going to these dear ones and meeting them face to face sharpens the purpose of this ministry - to let them know they are not forgotten, that we are sharing the stories we hear, and we are giving the churches and Believers here in the U.S. the privilege of partnering with them. These trips often have life-changing impacts on the team members themselves, as you will read in these journals. May you be encouraged and burdened to pray as you read!
