2025 Year in Review

To the Ends of the Earth

We’re grateful for your partnership.

In 2025, we witnessed God’s faithfulness as we remained dedicated to church planting, campus ministry, and global mission.

In faith-filled expectation, we officially launched Mission 2029, our global expansion strategy to plant campus-reaching churches in at least 20 new nations by 2029. By God’s grace, we have already established churches in four new nations.

Through your faithful partnership, church planters and campus missionaries have been equipped and empowered to make disciples in new nations, new cities, and new campuses.

Thank you for your generous partnership. I hope this Year in Review encourages you as you continue to participate in the Great Commission. It’s a privilege to partner with you; together, we can reach every nation and every campus.

Mission 2029

Our global expansion strategy to establish campus-reaching churches in 20 new nations by 2029.

In 2025, a team was able to establish a small group on the university campus, and local leaders are now being raised to lead and make disciples.

“We were able to establish our first discipleship group, which has been growing slowly and steadily throughout the year 2025. And now, the end of 2025, . . . after two more recent trips to the island of Samoa—we’ve established local leadership . . . and they’re ready to take on the harvest come the year 2026.”

After empowering local leaders to lead the church they have pastored for several years, missionaries Vince and Trina Roberts have taken a step of faith and moved from Vietnam to join our team in Iceland, where they are reaching students and planning to plant a campus-reaching church.

“The next season of our lives in Iceland will be very similar to our last one in Vietnam. And the mission’s the same: we go make disciples, we reach out to university students, and then we plant a campus-reaching church.”

Church planters Harry and Wendy Griesel have moved to Bern, Switzerland, and are preaching the gospel and making disciples on the campus.

“We had a wonderful outreach in September 2025, and we’ve seen quite a number of young people come to salvation, about six of them. But what we are most excited about is the gospel conversations that we had on the campus. We’ve seen a lot of agnostic and unbelieving students still wanting to hear the good news being shared with them.”

Discipleship Taking

Root in Madagascar

As a country of over 30 million, Madagascar stands at the intersection of spiritual openness and deep-rooted traditions that shape everyday life.

Many people are seeking answers, yet few are being discipled, and the gospel is often mixed with cultural practices that hinder spiritual growth.

Every Nation Madagascar, a new church plant and part of Every Nation’s Mission 2029 initiative, is stepping into this need to raise leaders, strengthen families, and equip disciples within local communities.

The work began through David Kadalie, a missionary from South Africa who served in Madagascar for seven years, intentionally mentoring local leaders. That foundation formed into a small home-based discipleship group that grew into a regular Sunday worship gathering of about 45 attendees. David says:

“It started through prayer, through discipleship, and building strong relationships with a few of the nationals. . . . Because we had a few people that we’ve discipled . . . it was easier to start [Every Nation Madagascar]. . . . It’s just exciting to see how things are coming together.”

With a challenging spiritual environment steeped in traditional customs, ancestor veneration, and taboos, tensions often rise among new believers. Yet, discipleship continues to bring clarity and freedom. David shares:

“They’ve got thousands of taboos, and they’ve got so many traditions . . . but it can only be tackled and handled by people who are deep in the Word. . . . That is probably the approach I have taken [to make] sure that a few people are well-discipled so they can reach out to their own people.”

Today, Every Nation Madagascar has 5 fully trained leaders who are discipling 15 families. They are also pouring into the next generation through a primary school and engaging with a local nursing university, while praying for open doors to reach a major university in the capital city.

Through intentional discipleship and leadership development, Every Nation Madagascar is seeing lasting fruit. With the support of ministry partners, this young church is preparing disciples to carry the gospel beyond their communities and into campuses and regions across Madagascar and beyond.

Hunger for the Gospel
on College Campuses

Today’s college students aren’t just curious about faith; they’re hungry for real relationship with God.

Because of the generosity of ministry partners, Every Nation campus missionaries are on the front lines of the university, ready to share the gospel, disciple students, and walk with them into lifelong transformation.

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, God is moving in powerful ways. This year at Temple University and Drexel University, missionaries James Nicholson and Gabrielle Morgalo have seen students respond to Jesus with passion and persistence. Gabrielle says:

“Students are hungry. . . . They want to know God. Where in the past, we might see a dip at some point of attendance, our attendance at Temple University has just been consistent throughout the entire year.”

This renewed passion for the gospel is spreading to nearby universities. The campus team hosted a worship and baptism night at Drexel and invited surrounding campuses. Over 200 people came. Thirty-one students were baptized, 11 of them spontaneously. One of them was a Drexel basketball player James had been discipling, and nearly the whole basketball team attended in celebration. James shares about how this student’s life has been transformed:

“Watching the way that he grew in his relationship with the Lord was incredible. He went from a guy that was like drinking, having fun, partying, to a guy that was very serious about his relationship [with God].”

Gabrielle reminds us what happens when we engage students:

“The truth is that when we are bold, when we preach the gospel, when we preach repentance, people get saved.”

This rings true for college campuses across North America and the world. Campus missionaries are finding more students ready and hungry for God. They’re stepping into faith, and through your generosity, they’re finding real discipleship, not just a message about self improvement or doing better, but a path forward in Christ.

Investing in the Next
Generation in Jamaica

Across Jamaica, young people face confusion, brokenness, and a deep lack of direction.

Many have heard about God, but few are being discipled. Many are turning to whatever gives them a sense of identity, belonging, or hope.

But God is moving in this generation, and ministry partners like you are helping meet them in this moment.

Government leaders in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital city, recognized a character crisis in the next generation and reached out to Every Nation leaders for wisdom. Churches from Florida, New York, and Virginia responded quickly to these open doors by sending teams to preach the gospel and equip local leaders. These missionaries were invited to speak in schools and universities across the city. Leaders, including professional athletes, boldly shared biblical character principles that caught students’ attention.

Keith Tower, lead pastor of HighPoint Church Orlando in Florida, has helped lead the charge to advance God’s kingdom in the Caribbean. He says:

“The more we talked about character, the more government officials said, ‘You need to be telling us about Jesus, because he’s the foundation of great character and leadership.’”

They had a clear invitation to preach the gospel, resulting in real gospel impact. On a follow-up trip, the team focused on the University of Technology, Jamaica, home to 15,000 students, and intentional relationships are now leading to fruitful discipleship. Keith recounts:

“We left that trip having taken the entire men’s basketball team and half of the women’s basketball team through the first two chapters of the One2One* book. We had fifty students in a WhatsApp group that were excited to grow in their relationship with God.”

This is more than momentum; it’s a move of the Holy Spirit. Lives are being transformed, and the future of a nation is being shaped. Looking ahead, as students are reached and discipled, they begin to impact not just their campus but also their families, communities, and the rest of their region. Every Nation is preparing to plant a campus-reaching church in Kingston—one that will multiply disciples and raise up leaders across Jamaica and the Caribbean.

Raising Student

Leaders in India

Around the world, students are hungry for the gospel, and the need for campus ministry has grown. In universities where access to the gospel is restricted, creative outreach is essential.

With the support of ministry partners, church planters around the world are reaching students, discipling them, and equipping them to walk in faith and leadership.

Christ City Church launched in March 2025 in Bangalore, India, with a vision to reach students living next door at Christ University, one of the city’s largest campuses with 30,000 students. Led by David Menezes, a recent graduate of Every Nation Seminary, the team has had to develop a strategic space for ministry since they are not allowed on campus. David says:

“We had to figure out creative ways for students to come to church without us visiting or going inside. . . . The most encouraging thing is when I see students reaching other students. And that’s really been how we’ve grown.”

Through student-led ministry, several hundred young people have visited Christ City Church in less than a year, without stepping foot on campus. Sixty students now regularly attend, 7 of whom have been baptized. David reflects:

“When we started this church, most of the hindrances were my own unbelief. I found it hard to do ministry in India, given that we’re largely a Hindu nation. . . But God can do the impossible. And time and time again, we have seen him come through in amazing ways.”

God is at work raising a generation of student leaders. David shares:

“Through our work here, we’re hoping we won’t just make an impact in Bangalore, but the students who are reached here will go all across India and hopefully the world to plant churches, reach campuses, and share the gospel.”

Church planters throughout India and beyond are playing a vital role in these students’ lives. Through your generous support, more students are being reached on campuses where the gospel is restricted, and lives are being transformed as a new generation of leaders rise to carry the gospel far beyond their campuses.

Would you continue to pray with us for the nations, for missionaries and church planters who would go, and for God to empower us for his work?

There are still 111 Nations without an Every Nation Church.
