A little church in Istanbul is filled with Kurdish Syrians. Some lost their homes in bombings, others through mistreatment, and each fled to Turkey seeking asylum. But in Turkey, they found less than open arms. Marginalized and persecuted, they live in constant fear that the police will stop them on the street or break into their churches. Without the proper documents, they will be deported back to Syria. This church’s fear was realized just before Christmas 2023 when police

Streams partners arrested last year for apostasy in Mauritania Twenty-six believers arrested at the end of 2023, many of them graduates from Streams of Living Water’s Tyrannus Missionary School, have been released and returned to their families. But many still face hostility from Muslim family and community members. When a pastor with OneWay’s Streams of Living Water baptized a new believer in Mauritania, someone secretly recorded it, posting the video online. Outraged Musli

Heart Bible method spreading around the world Using a Bible story and three simple questions, OneWay’s Equipping Evangelist led three Muslim sisters to Christ. He has used that method many times with the same powerful result, and it has sparked a Bible storytelling movement, Heart Bible for the Nations, around the world. The sisters were acting as translators at the baptism of six believers in a refugee camp for those fleeing from ISIS. “I know you still feel confused and dou

Girls raised at House of Hope helping most vulnerable in South Sudan When three girls (pictured above) arrived at the House of Hope, staff described them as “tiny little girls with a lost look in their eyes.” Now, they have finished secondary school and their senior exams and have joined the staff as teaching assistants for the new Hope and Future Children Center, a school and care center for some of the most vulnerable children in South Sudan. For much of their lives, staff

Activating Egyptian church planters in the Arab world To most of the world, Egypt is a land of history and culture, making it a popular tourist destination. But to Streams of Living Water, Egypt is a “sleeping giant” that can make a tremendous impact toward taking the gospel to the Arab world. OneWay’s Streams ministry is helping to awaken that sleeping giant with its annual Mobilization Conference. More than 500 believers gathered in late August for the conference, including

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

God works despite closed doors for OneWay missionary Five months after losing his wife and ministry partner to cancer, OneWay missionary JP Lindsey returned to Kurdistan, the country where he and Sarah dreamed of serving together. Not only does JP’s life look different without his wife, but the area where they planned to serve together has been decimated. While JP and Sarah fought cancer in the U.S., Iran launched drone attacks on Kurdish refugees. The refugees whom Sarah a

Robin connects Muslims with English-speaking volunteers through an online English program. OneWay’s Digita

Equipping Iranians with Bible training In a small Middle Eastern country, OneWay team members recently gathered in secret with 15 Iranian believers to teach them a new way to hide the Scripture in their heart so they could share their faith without access to a physical Bible. These Iranians, who live under the threat of arrest or even execution for professing Christ as Savior, owning a Bible or sharing their faith, traveled across the border for a rare in-person gathering whe

More workers prepared for ministry in the Middle East, North Africa region Missionaries are being mobilized, trained and deployed on the field into some of the hardest to reach people groups in the Middle East and North Africa. Streams of Living Water’s Impact Schools, our missionary training schools for Egyptians, run for 10 months, with students attending one weekend a month and doing research, field trips and lots of reading in between. Those commissioned for ministry are

New schools train missionaries in 12 countries By the end of 2022, 12 Tyrannus Missionary Schools will have trained nearly 230 missionaries to share God’s Word in some of the most unevangelized parts of the Arab world. Many of these unreached areas are rife with persecution, and the newly trained evangelists must be willing to risk their lives for the sake of the gospel. Despite this risk, when graduates reach the field, stories pour in of miraculous healings and lives being

Sixteen of the high school girls living at the House of Hope orphanage were able to receive a better education this year because of the faithful support of our partners. In South Sudan, most students do not continue their education in secondary school. Even if they do continue, schools in Sudan are typically filled with underqualified teachers, unfriendly learning environments and inadequate materials. A small Christian boarding school in Uganda offers the House of Hope girls

New Prayercast podcast brings timely news for prayer for Afghanistan and beyond When the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan last summer, the OneWay team began envisioning a way to tell stories from the ground level of what was happening in that country to rally believers to pray. That vision will come to life this month through an exciting new podcast, OneVoice, which will be produced by OneWay’s Prayercast team. The podcast is an artistic and compelling resource that wi
