We’ve arrived in the Middle East and our hearts are full of expectation and awe. In partnership with national church planters, our team from FBC Boerne has come to serve, learn, and journey together — reaching out to displaced people groups, training local leaders, and discovering how the Gospel is moving in places we often overlook. FBC Boerne | A Church for All Ages
Over the next few days, you’ll see scenes of ancient cities, hidden house churches, refugee camps where hope is fragile yet alive, and believers who lead with courage in the face of challenge. What we’re seeing is this: when we step out of our comfort zone and say “yes” to God’s call, He writes stories we could never imagine.
As you watch this video, we invite you to:
Join us in prayer for the unreached and the displaced.
Rejoice with us in the growth of the faith community here.
Be reminded that every one of us — whether here on the ground or back home in Boerne — is part of what God is doing.
May this glimpse stir our hearts, broaden our vision, and inspire us to live more fully on mission for Christ.
With love and gratitude,
The Middle East Team

Good morning, FBC family. We are on day 6 of our trip, and praise God, we are all doing well. It has been a whirlwind of experiences here in this amazing SE country. We have been blessed to work with church planters, pastors, childcare workers, women’s ministry leaders, and many more. Yesterday was hard as we visited the banks of the Ganges, a sacred and holy river in this country. Along its banks, fires burn constantly, cremating the bodies of the recently passed away.
While this country’s religious systems are intense and oppressive, we have also been encouraged to hear about and witness the astounding growth of the body of Christ in this place. We have met with multiple leaders who, over the last 10-15 years, have seen an explosion of new believers in this area of the world. Conservative estimates report well over 500,000 new baptisms in this state alone. We are so thankful for your continued prayers.
We are looking forward to fellowshipping in person with you all on Sunday, October 5th.

Greetings from SE Asia, FBC. We will conclude our trip within the next 36 hours. We have visited several states in this amazing country. Today, we are back in the capital and marveling at all we have seen and experienced. Our last primary focus was in the state of Punjab near the Pakistan border. We met many believers who are from a Sikh background. We have had a crash course in Sikhism and learned that God is powerfully working among them.
We visited the Golden Temple, which is one of the most visually stunning places of worship I have ever seen. We can see that God has been revealing himself to these people for ages, but only recently have they begun to acknowledge Jesus as the one true God. Pray! Pray! Pray that God will turn the hearts of these people to His Gospel!
Once again, we are grateful for your ongoing prayer support for our team. We are excited to return home to you all. As the Lord wills, we look forward to seeing you this coming Sunday. Please pray for our trip home. We face a 28-hour journey with 21 hours being in the air. Thank you, and God bless you all!
