2014-12-02: Unrest.
Due to unrest in Crimea, workers have had to abruptly leave their ministry among university international students. These workers report that the church left behind is doing well. They continue to support one another, and their ‘family’ ties are close even though they are from different countries, cultures, and continents. They are encouraging and loving each other, reaching out to the lost, learning from the Word, and praying together. What a testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit!

2014-11-29: West Africa.
In one Team Expansion field in West Africa, authorities have verified recently several actual cases of child sacrifices.
