Merry Christmas From Around The Globe

Writer's picture: Bob GustafsonBob Gustafson

Christmas is a special time of year that provides a unique opportunity for our international partners to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We work in areas facing increasing persecution, yet we hold fast to the truth that The Light shines brightest in the darkest places.

Throughout December, we support outreaches that will impact tens of thousands of people in under-served, under-resourced, and under-evangelized areas where we have been called to partner in the gospel.


Orphans and children, widows and women, and entire communities will experience love through a Christmas gift, a warm meal, a meaningful gospel presentation, and a connection to a local church. Your generosity makes this possible as just $5 provides both a gift and a meal. My own children have joined me in giving for years, each contributing $5. Then I prayerfully consider what I can give to this evangelistic opportunity. Would you pray about how you might join Going Global Inc. in sharing the hope of Jesus this Christmas?


Here are some examples of the incredible outreaches our partners are leading:


Myanmar

Myanmar is experiencing a heightened period of the longest-running civil war in modern history. This reality requires our partners to share the good news of Jesus with wisdom and care. Christmas is a unique window of opportunity when thousands gather on the campuses of the orphanages we support through Love Children’s Home. Here, they worship, share a meal, and hear the story of Jesus breaking into the world.


Orphans along with Disciple Bible School students and adult leaders visit surrounding villages with rice, oil, salt, blankets made by Love Loom House, and the message of Christmas. It’s amazing to see children transformed by Jesus now sharing His hope with the world.


Nepal

I witnessed firsthand the impact of your generosity in Nepal. Our mission team joined Paul to host Christmas outreaches in the slums of Kathmandu and remote villages. We saw miracles, salvations, and lives transformed by the love of Jesus.


These villages are in remote areas, requiring dangerous travel through the mountains. Paul mentors and works alongside a network of pastors and churches. Many will receive a blanket, a warm meal, and the life-changing message of Jesus this Christmas.


Andaman & Nicobar Islands

The ministry in the islands is extraordinary. These islands, over 1,000 miles from India, are home to more than one million people—many forgotten by their nation, the world, and the church. Christmas is a time when they can freely share about Jesus. Their outreach includes a trailer equipped with a Santa Claus, songs, dancing, gifts, food, and a gospel message. They recently completed 100 Days of Prayer, gathering each morning and evening to pray for revival in the islands.


Israel

Mazen and his team will hold Christmas outreaches for children and orphans. In the area he ministers, over 400,000 people are struggling with starvation, so the church brings food, compassion, and the hope of Jesus. This is a challenging time for the region, and we are praying for peace amid the ongoing conflict. May many come to know the truth of Psalm 62:1 “My soul finds rest in God alone.”


Kenya

Upper Room Church will host a large Christmas youth conference with over 600 attendees. This is part of their network of churches in the Kitale region, where many are coming to know God in powerful ways. Outreach will happen where many people will receive a gift and a warm meal this Christmas.





It is a tremendous honor to stand alongside the men and women God has called us to partner with through Going Global Inc. Thank you for joining my family—Dennis, Robin, and the rest of us—as we work to bring hope to orphans, widows, and pastors in remote areas. I pray that you experience great joy this Christmas. “When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.” Matthew 2:10


Merry Christmas,

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


 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Dennis and Robin

Merry Christmas to all of you! This time of the year can be a very special time for friends and family. It can also be difficult for some. Let’s take a look around and see if we can make a difference in someone’s life this Christmas. Ask God to sharpen our spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear what Jesus highlights. We have been so blessed and are grateful for the support and prayers from all we have ministered with and to during the past year. Looking forward to doing the same in 2025 with you.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Dennis and Robin


 



 

The Going Global Podcast

Tune in to the latest episode of The Going Global Podcast featuring Paul from Nepal. Be inspired by incredible stories of what God is doing in Nepal and encouraged to seek His strategies for your own life.


In this episode, Paul shares a powerful testimony about a time when God changed his travel plans to minister in a remote mountain village. He had planned to take a short 15-minute flight and had already purchased his ticket, but God prompted him to take the long way and drive instead. The plane Paul was supposed to fly on tragically crashed, leaving no survivors. Paul’s story highlights how God spoke to him during prayer, providing clear direction. That same kind of divine guidance is available to us, too.



 

Food For Thought

“Let them give glory to the Lord and proclaim his praise in the islands.”

—Isaiah 42:12


Just a few verses earlier the scripture says, “the former things have taken place, and new things I declare.” That is a word for you, me, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. God is doing a new thing, Let’s give him praise!


 

Prayer Requests

You can be an important part of our ministry by praying for us. Prayer is a weapon of warfare, and we covet your prayers. If you would like us to pray for you, e-mail your prayer requests to us. Please pray for the following:


We thank you, in advance, for praying for the following:

  • Pray for your pastor and family.

  • Pray for the election, our country, and our political leaders.

  • Pray for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ministries.


 

Ministry Goal


“And their eyes were opened and they recognized Him.” Luke 24:31


We founded Going Global Inc. in 2007 with this ministry goal. It is still our heart today. Thank you for praying and partnering with us. Together, we can do a lot!
