In 1992 the majority of Russians were open to hear about spiritual things. They knew they had been deceived, and they had a hunger to hear truth.

“My dear Dean, Thank you so much for showing me a way to God. I have been a great Communist sinner, but now I have found peace for my soul. I will spend the rest of my life teaching young people and my grandson about this God.”

This photo was taken at a second return to Albert’s school. This time we knew how welcome we were!

These national people have been discipled and trained about missions, and now they’re headed out to do evangelism in the rural areas of Mozambique.

On the right, Mr. Hung Wo kneels and receives the gift of salvation after three years of listening and watching the people who professed there was a God. Mr. Wo says that he saw God living in the lives of the church people, and despite being involved most of his life in politics, he is now seeking the Lord!

Pastor Hoo prays with Mrs. Shoo Hong as told in the podcast episode. During the Covid quarantine Pastor Hoo and the church brought this family groceries. It opened a door to share the gospel.

This story was not recorded in the episode. Pastor Hoo prays on the right with a man we shall call Mr. Soh. He is an unbeliever, but he became unemployed and he and his wife had to move in with his in-laws in a very small room. His in-laws go to Pastor Hoo’s church, and they introduced Mr. Soh to this national preacher.

Mr. Soh also testified that it was the actions and words of the Christians that changed his mind about a living and a saving God. This photo was taken when he prayed for salvation.

Try to imagine this church filled with believers who love Jesus, despite the threat of persecution.

For a photo of Pastor Ya Wa Hoo and his nine children, please email me, telling how you heard of “A Cup of Good News.”

This is Pastor Damiani Mongo and his family, posing for a photo with Gospelink field director, Willie Hunter.

The suit and the tie shows that Pastor Mongo identifies more with a Christian culture than with a historic tradition of superstition and spirit worship. God’s Word is good for any culture!

One of the churches planted by Damiani Mongo in a rural are of the Masai people.

Damiani Mongo does not dress in the traditional style, but he speaks their language and knows their culture and customs. He is a natural evangelist and church planter in this part of Tanzania.

God has blessed this national preacher’s efforts in Kipengele school! May the Lord’s Word reach many of these young people!

Pastor Yun Meak, his wife, and his two daughters. Behind them is their house - a simple abode, culturally off the ground, but sufficient.

Yun Meak lives in an area where people make a living gathering and selling firewood. It’s a skill with which he was able to feed his family!

This is one of the churches that Yun Meak pastors in Cambodia.

Yun Meak has opportunities in Cambodia to visit schools and teach God’s Word!

These three new converts publicly demonstrated their faith by being baptised.

This was taken at an outreach where clothing was being distributed to needy people.

And finally, yes, photos that are enshrined in Dean Kershner’s hall of shame!

Give a birthday gift to Dean - Bibles for Iran & support for Pastor Reza

A birthday gift for Dean -- Bibles for Iran and support for Pastor Reza

The Iranian, my brother.

There are not too many churches in the world which also display the flag of Iran.

Reza teaches a Bible study in his new country of refuge.

Pastor Reza preaches here on the left. Beside him stands another Gospelink supported, Cup of Good News preacher - Kakhaber Chkadzi.

This building stands in Tehran. It was one of two churches legally open in the year 2000. Reza’s mother went here and met Christians who lived in hope and joy despite their persecution.

Make it stand out

This is a photo of the inside — 23 years ago. Today these believers are abroad or underground, but the hunger for spiritual truth in Iran is only increasing!

Below is a recent Iranian decoration in the church to commemorate and remind people of the struggle in the Iranian church today.

A congregation of people who cannot hear with their ears but who have gathered because they want to have the Word of God in their hearts.

Learning another language can be a useful skill. Here, Dean Kershner spells his name to two deaf pastors supported through Gospelink.

Wille Hunter stands in front of a newly constructed church building in Tanzania with Pastor Pawde and two other Gospelink preachers. There is no mortgage on this building, but people hear the invaluable Word of God taught on a weekly basis.

Pastor Pawde serves as a missionary to surrounding areas in rural Tanzania, but this is a photo of his home church as people are exiting on a Sunday afternoon.

Pastor Pawde Mwasanje and his family.

Gospelink finds supporters in America who want to help national preachers plant churches. The actual building process takes time, but souls are being saved as evidenced by the reports you heard written by Pastor Pawde.
