Nation to Nation Q3 Update

MINISTRY: Nation to Nation | International

MINISTRY PURPOSE: Training Christians in the Word of God and how to impact their communities through practical teaching and training on things like health, agriculture, and business.

TESTIMONY:
Our time in Kenya was absolutely incredible.

We trained 526 new potential facilitators from 10 different countries, representing 5 languages and over 100 denominations.

Among them were 81 bishops, many of whom oversee 400–500 churches each, with others leading anywhere from 4 to 50 churches. This means the impact of this training is exponential.

Not only can these bishops start schools themselves, but they are also in a position to launch multiple—perhaps even dozens—of schools throughout their networks and denominations.

Many pastors traveled long distances at great personal cost to attend. One pastor came from Kisangani in central Congo, flying to the border and then riding a bus for two days just to attend. It likely cost him at least $700—an extraordinary sacrifice in his context—showing just how deeply committed he is to launching a school (or schools).

KNOW:
The CMM + N2N Conference was the most significant ministry event we’ve ever held in terms of training leaders from across multiple nations and denominations.

This would not have been possible without Wellspring’s generosity.
Your support—and that of individuals from within Wellspring—made this happen!

The long-term fruit and ripple effects of this event will be felt across Africa for years to come.

Every pastor who attended left with a renewed and expanded vision for ministry. Many had focused mainly on existing church members and used increasingly ineffective methods for outreach (like preaching in marketplaces). But through the training, they caught the vision of holistic ministry—meeting felt needs to open hearts to the Gospel. They now have tools to bring practical and spiritual transformation to their communities.

PRAY:
Fundraising: We are now focused on raising funds to equip the pastors we trained. It costs us about $450 per school per year (spread across four years) to start and run a training school.

Our immediate goal is to raise support for the first 200 schools coming out of this Kenya event.

We thank God—and each of you—because we were able to raise everything we needed for the Kenya trip.

Please pray for provision and open doors to fully fund these schools.

GIVE:
Brick will be traveling to Asia in just a few weeks, where he will train facilitators from multiple Asian nations. This includes work with persecuted churches, so we cannot publicly mention specific locations.

However, we are meeting with leaders representing hundreds and hundreds of churches. Your prayers and financial support are deeply needed.
