House churches strengthened through Bible stories In Cuba, a nation marked by oppression and restricted religious freedom, hope is rising through the power of Bible storytelling. In Holguín, Cuba, children formed their own small group to tell and teach each other Bible stories. When they shared the story of Jesus healing a demon-possessed man, something remarkable happened.

JP Lindsey also took students with OneWay Africa’s Livingstone School of Missions to do outreach in the marketplace of Accra. A group of four students approached a man who sa

Heart Bible for the Nations flourishes in Venezuela In the Andes Mountains of Venezuela, a church is full of “walking Bibles,” where believers as young as five years old are able to confidently tell complete Bible stories. OneWay’s Gospel Advance team calls it “a Heart Bible for the Nations Church,” and Heart Bible for the Nations flourishes there in ways that the team hopes to replicate around the world. Amidst crippling inflation, food shortages and blackouts, La Iglesia Mo

Heart Bible for the Nations in action While he was visiting Kurdistan, JP Lindsey met a young refugee who had never heard the gospel before. The woman, an 18-year-old soccer player, had joined the Kurdish paramilitary because of the oppression she faced as a Kurdish woman who believed in the “wrong kind” of Islam. Before talking to JP, she didn’t know anything about Jesus. All she knew was that she didn’t like religion. “Well, you're in luck,” JP told her, “because Jesus didn
