Word of Life in 2025

We are delighted to share our report on 2025, a year of huge growth for the Word of Life family. We continue to see the Lord’s hand on our tracks of ministry, which have all increased in team size, and in the number and reach of our resources.
This year, our leadership team was strengthened, with Soroush and Jenni joining David as Associate Directors, while Tim continues as Director. We are grateful for their love, service and leadership, and we invite you to pray for them and their families as they step into this new chapter. Our teams have also continued to grow. In 2025, new team members joined to help facilitate translations, develop systems and processes, build better partnerships, and lead in projects, networking and regional development.

Across Africa, Come Follow Me continues to grow, with translations underway in 10 new languages. In Central and East Africa, training has also continued, helping more people use Come Follow Me and disciple new believers well. In challenging places, GROWSPACE continues to have a significant spiritual impact, especially among believers in Muslim-majority and closed countries. Through their mobile phones, believers are gaining access to lessons, learning God’s Word, and growing stronger in their walk with Christ.

The Joining the Family course has also seen encouraging developments, helping churches grow in understanding of BMB discipleship challenges and find creative ways to welcome, learn with and equip their new brothers and sisters.
Through Hikma, BMB voices continue to be brought to the forefront. In 2025, the Partnership released two new books, gathered people from many countries, and continued creating space for research, writing and shared learning. We are grateful for continued provision from the Lord for all our projects. Thanks to major donors, project partners, churches and individuals, we continue to produce discipleship resources and share BMB voices and perspectives across the world.

As we continue into 2026, we are praying to see new resources released, more believers accessing Come Follow Me digitally, more churches and individuals growing in understanding of BMB discipleship challenges, and more BMBs equipped for leadership and discipleship.

Thank you for being part of this story. We couldn’t do this without you.
