Going Global With The Gift Of Jesus

Every December, I find myself returning to one simple truth. Christmas is not only a celebration. It is a mission. The story of Jesus entering our world still brings hope to places where hope feels impossible. And every year, through your generosity, that hope travels further than you can imagine.

This Christmas, our partners across 10 nations are preparing to share the gospel in some of the most difficult and overlooked places on earth. They will gather children who have lost parents, widows who feel forgotten, and families who have endured war, hunger, and often times persecution. They will offer a warm meal, a small gift, and the beautiful message that Jesus came for them.

It is amazing what five dollars can do. One gift, one meal, one moment where someone hears the name of Jesus spoken with love. My four children will once again give five dollars each, Natalie and I are praying about what we will give, and together we will ask the Lord how we can be part of something bigger than ourselves. I invite you to pray about joining us. Here is just a glimpse of what God will do through your giving.

Myanmar: Light in a War Torn Nation

In the middle of the world’s longest running civil war, Christmas provides rare space for our partners to openly share the story of Jesus. Thousands will gather on the campuses of Love Children’s Home for worship and a meal. Orphans and Disciple Bible School students will travel to nearby villages, bringing rice, oil, salt, handmade blankets, and the message that Jesus brings peace into chaos.

Nepal: Miracles in the Mountains and Slums

Paul and his network of pastors will work in Kathmandu slums and travel into mountain regions where families will receive blankets, warm food, prayer, and a clear presentation of the gospel. We know many will give their lives to Jesus in these outreaches, so we ask you to pray. Many who once felt forgotten will discover the love of God this Christmas.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands: Revival on the Edges of the Earth

These islands are home to people who rarely hear the gospel. Christmas is their moment. A trailer filled with songs, dancing, gifts, food, and a message about Jesus will travel village to village. After 100 days of prayer for revival, our partners are believing for an extraordinary harvest this season. The orphans at Love Children’s Home will receive gifts and a wonderful Christmas party.

Bangladesh: Regional Outreaches

In Bangladesh, the team is stepping out with faith. They are preparing three regional Christmas gatherings in Gopalganj, Jessore, and Barisal where people will be welcomed into an atmosphere of joy, prayer, and fellowship. While continuing to distribute 50,000 Operation Christmas Child boxes each year, many around the story of Jesus and believing God will draw hearts to Him.

Kenya: Raising Up a Generation to Know Christ

In the Kitale region, Upper Room Church will host a Christmas youth gathering with more than six hundred young people. Their network of churches will also lead community outreaches where people receive a meal, a gift, and an invitation to follow Jesus. God is moving in remarkable ways, and this Christmas will accelerate that momentum.

Where orphans seek family, widows seek comfort, pastors seek strength, and churches shine in hidden places. This is why Going Global Inc. exists, and it is our great honor to stand with those who carry Jesus to the heart of their communities.

Thank you for helping us bring the hope of Christ to the nations this Christmas. May your home be filled with the same joy the wise men felt when the star led them to the Savior. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Merry Christmas,

Bob, Natalie, Dylan, Adorlee, Charlie, and Jude

God Is Moving In Nepal

On a recent trip to Nepal, we were moved by Paul’s heart to leave the 99 and go after the one. He serves in slums and remote villages, sharing Jesus with people who often feel unseen. Many walk with their heads down, believing they do not matter, yet God has not forgotten them. Paul and his team are reaching people who would never step into the churches where we often find the 99.

During our time there, we watched children, adults, and the elderly walk burdened by trauma, shame, and hardship. Many experienced healing through the love of God and the joy of the Lord. These moments were true miracles we witnessed firsthand.

Since we began partnering with Paul in 2015, God has built an incredible team. He now has a core group of five leaders, a pastoral network of 35, 10 churches, 50 house churches, and nine Bridge Schools that serve more than 1000 children. Half of these students are now following Jesus, many coming from Hindu or Buddhist families. The team also cares for 100 orphans and continues to reach areas others overlook.

We also held leadership training and visited the ministry center under construction. On its foundation we fed more than 300 people, hosted a revival service, and led a children’s outreach. The roof is expected to be completed in February 2026.

We are grateful for Paul, his team, and for you. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity are strengthening the church in Nepal.
