While looking into a northern African valley filled with flickering village fires, IMB missionary Jay Janill shared with his national partner, Timothy, that each fire likely represented people who had never heard the gospel.
They read Psalm 19, reflecting on how the heavens declare God’s glory, yet those gathered around the fires knew little of His love through Christ. Inspired, Timothy shared the gospel with a group of new friends, including Abel, who had previously received the message.
Abel, who worked as a park guide for Jay and his wife, Ella, listened to Scripture on an SD card they gave him. After multiple trips together, Abel confessed his faith and began sharing with others.
The Janills recognize that many in their region have heard of Christianity but do not truly know Jesus. As they minister in a volatile region, they seek to reach the unreached.
The Cooperative Program (CP) takes the Gospel to the nations and the neighborhoods. Your financial support through the Cooperative Program gives missionaries access to areas where they can not only provide needed help, but they can also provide needed hope in Christ.
