A WORD FROM THE CEO

This month is the first of four modules this year at our Middle East Theological College (Iraq) with Pastor Fadi Eid from Jordan teaching the book of Daniel. The comments from the students have been “amazing, new and awesome.” There simply are no words to describe how vital and critically important this training is to the future of Iraq and the region. Our graduates next year will be the first ever accredited Bible College graduates in the history of Iraq. Think of it; for us as Believers, this truth is both an honor and a shame. My prayer is that God will enable us to continue and strengthen our foothold. Dr. Jon McGinnis will be teaching the second module, “Christian Worldview.” More of you, our donors are praying for and supporting this work financially; thank you! If you want to join and support METC, you can give online and choose “METC,” or write it in “other” below.

Upcoming 2026 events: This year we’re initiating the same three year Bible curriculum for the children in our Child Sponsorship Program in Iraq that we started using last year in Egypt. The results have been very, very good and I’m excited to bring this to Iraq. This will be a $5,000 project as we print booklets (in Iraq) for the children and teachers. If you want to give to this, write “Iraq Bible Curriculum” on your check or sticky note. Online, give to the general fund with a note.

Women’s Training: Next month I will lead another Beautiful International Women’s Conference in India and will have with me, Kathy Miller, Angela Kennedy (Spicewood, Texas) and Billie Jean Seekins (Sacrameto). In Iraq, we are deepening our work with the mothers of the children in our program, focusing on trauma recovery and homemaking. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Financials: All 2025 Year End Tax statements were mailed January 23. Please allow time for delivery. Thank you.

Friend, are you wondering how to put your minimum IRA distribution to work for eternal gain? Where to leave your inheritance your family doesn’t need? How to keep you and your business from paying more taxes? I want to ask you to prayerfully give generously to Kingdom work through Indigenous Ministries. We are Bible-centered, focused, targeted, trained and strong stewards of the finances entrusted to us. Thank you and may God bless you.
