Dear Friend,
Through your support, you are helping share the Gospel with people all over the world—24 hours a day, seven days a week!
Many of the people who discover His truth through our internet evangelism ministry have limited opportunities for hearing the Good News. Paul,* who is paralyzed after having a stroke, is one of them. He recently enrolled in our Know Jesus discipleship course, learned more about the Lord, and ultimately decided to surrender his life to Him. “My life has become more peaceful and calm,” he typed. “This ministry has given me hope that God can forgive my sin.”
“This ministry has given me hope ...”Will you pray for all those who are hearing the Gospel through this online outreach? I thank God for you and for your commitment to tell lost men, women, and children about Jesus Christ, “who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood” (Revelation 1:5, ESV).
May God richly bless you,
Franklin Graham
President & CEO
Eternal Peace After Overwhelming Emptiness
Marie*—who lives in Madagascar—was overwhelmed by emptiness. Deep down, she knew that a relationship with the Lord was missing from her life. She cried out to God and even opened the Bible—but she couldn’t shake the feeling of confusion. Marie turned to the internet, typed “how to get closer to Jesus,” and found PeaceWithGod.net. Within minutes, she connected with one of our team members, Bonnie, who asked her about faith. Marie paid close attention as Bonnie shared how Jesus Christ offers salvation to all those who place their faith and trust in Him. Marie responded by praying a heartfelt prayer to surrender her life to the Lord. Please pray that He will strengthen her new faith in Him.
Everything Pointed to Jesus Christ
Sarah* was raised in an observant Jewish family, but by the time she was 13, she described herself as agnostic. Now in her 60s, she realized how hollow she felt. She enrolled in our Know Jesus course after looking for answers about Christianity online. She had heard of Christianity and it seemed like
so much around her pointed to Jesus; she often thought of Him when she read the Psalms or saw others wearing cross necklaces. Early in the course, Sarah prayed to receive Jesus Christ in repentance and faith, and she was excited to share her decision with our team member. “I want the Holy Spirit to be with me and guide me on the path of righteousness to help me follow God’s will,” she typed. We praise God that Sarah completed the course—and then connected with friends who are believers to help her find ongoing discipleship and fellowship. Before their exchange ended, she told our associate that they were helping her grow in her new faith.

“I WILL SHOW MY GREATNESS ... AND MAKE MYSELF KNOWN IN THE EYES OF MANY NATIONS. THEN THEY WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.” —EZEKIEL 38:23, ESV
Witnessing for Jesus Christ—in the Face of Danger
Only in her teens, Rimsha* had already been through a lot. ISIS had occupied her hometown, causing a lot of suffering for her and her family. A couple of years ago, she decided she didn’t believe in the teachings of Islam, and she began to look into other religions. Christianity seemed like the best option to her, but she wasn’t sure where to start. Recently, she saw an ad for our Arabic-language online evangelism ministry—and she was immediately intrigued.
Rimsha connected with Samira, one of our team members, and told her that she had made the decision to surrender her life to Jesus Christ. Now she wanted to grow closer to Him. Samira encouraged her to read the gospels, and Rimsha enrolled in one of our online courses—and then encouraged her brother Ahmed* to join her. He dove into the lessons and a short time later, he too prayed to receive Jesus Christ in repentance and faith. We praise God for drawing this brother and sister to Himself. But their story doesn’t end there!
Ahmed sent the course to his friend Tariq,* who described himself as an atheist. Tariq enrolled in the course, and the Holy Spirit worked powerfully in his heart and mind. He placed his faith and trust in Jesus Christ and was eager to share how the Lord
completely changed his life. “I was depressed, sad, and felt guilty,” he typed. “I totally feel different now. Even the way I used to talk to my friends has changed. … They were surprised from the way I speak, from peace and kindness that I have. Thank You very much, Jesus, I adore You.”
Will you pray for Rimsha, Ahmed, and Tariq? Placing their faith in Jesus Christ can cost them relationships, or even their lives. Ask the Lord to protect them and continue using them to reach others with His truth.
‘Make me a new creature …’
Philip,* who lives in Uganda, went to the internet for answers. Only in his 30s, his marriage fell apart after he repeatedly committed adultery. As he sat totally alone in his house, he
realized how empty he felt—and he decided to turn to God. Philip went online for answers about Jesus Christ and found our Know Jesus discipleship course. Just a few days into the lessons, he surrendered his life to the Lord. He typed a few of his heartfelt prayers into a chat with one of our team members. “I ask for forgiveness of my sins that I committed in adultery and fornication,” Philip shared. “Please remove the guilt in me and renew my inner person. Make me a new creature that loves to follow God’s commandments.” Before the course ended, Philip also said he hoped and prayed that God would restore his marriage. Will you pray for Philip? Please ask the Lord
to work powerfully in his life.
