Making Heaven Dance

Dear Friends and Family,


At Footprint Ministry, we have been called to live out the Great Command—to go and make disciples and see one person lead another to Christ. This is how our vision unfolds. About two months ago, we shared the story of Amjoud, a Sabian from Iraq, who accepted Jesus after seeing a vision. Amjoud, filled with faith, invited Amalek from Homs, Syria, to join our discipleship group. For the last three months, Amalek has been learning, asking many questions, and growing in faith. Then, last month, during a meeting with a friend from Wisconsin, we talked about salvation. That’s when Amalek asked a crucial question: 


“If I accept Jesus, do I have to remove my hijab? Will I face persecution?” 


We explained: faith in Jesus is about an inner transformation. You don’t have to change outwardly; you simply live your faith as you grow, becoming a witness right where you are.

This is the power of multiplying disciples. Amalek, moved by faith, invited her friend Um Tamam, and now Um Tamam will join us in discipleship. Please pray for Um Tamam, that just as Amjoud and Amalek did, she will take this step.


Below is a link where you can see Amjoud and Amalek rejoicing, ringing the bell, and making heaven dance.

From Refugees to Missionaries -Syria:


And now, we are taking the next big step. As we continue in obedience, we are in the first stage of preparing to send teams into Syria. Two families from our staff—who once were refugees—are now preparing to go back as missionaries. This first stage involves intensive discipleship courses, equipping them, and helping them restore their lives. We are also looking for funds to cover their expenses. First, please pray for us, and if you would like to support us in this step, below is the link. Keep us in your prayers, and we’ll keep you updated as we walk this path together—truly, from refugee to missionaries.

The wars are taking their toll on everyone. For those involved in compassion ministries, it is not only emotionally and physically draining. There is also tremendous spiritual warfare in the Middle East that we face.
