NEW YEAR ... NEW HOPE IN 2026 

SERVING THE LEAST & THE LAST...



Happy 2026!


2025 was an utterly incredible year for Frontier Partners International (FPI). The Lord led us into challenging and sometimes dangerous regions, where we provided aid to those in desperate need, demonstrated God's compassion and love, shared good news with unreached and unengaged people, shared our faith, and strengthened believers across North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. 


Only as the Lord went before us and in the courageous efforts of our dedicated partners, was any of this possible! 


We are deeply grateful for you who supported this work in praying and your generosity! 


Here are a few highlights in 2025, inviting you to celebrate with us all the Lord accomplished, and so much more behind the scenes, not listed.

YAZIDI distributions and development, especially focused towards women and children.

Middle East

  • Translated and distributed Biblical materials, donated by TUMI/World Impact, into Kurdish Sorani throughout Northern Iraq, and Kurdish regions —helping fill a void in sound teaching and strengthening the Church. 
  • Marked our 5th year hosting “Time of Refreshing” conferences for pastors and leaders in Lebanon and Kurdistan-Iraq, encouraging church leaders in this challenging region. 
  • Hosted seminars on Human Rights and Religious Freedom at the University of Sulaymaniyah and other universities, in Kurdistan-Iraq, from a Christian perspective. These events opened new opportunities to promote peace in the region and introduce Jesus to future leaders.
  • Continued assisting displaced Yazidi families in Northern Iraq, including those returning to their homes despite the risk of renewed persecution.
  • Church expansion and mentoring in Kurdistan-Iraq.
  • Distributed wheelchairs and other mobility devices, generously donated by Joni and Friends, bringing joy, hope, and the good news to children and adults with disabilities and their families in Lebanon and Syria.
  • Provided ongoing support, discipleship and education for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, as well as for those returning to Syria who face severe persecution.
  • Delivered emergency aid, relief, and development in western Syria, where militants slaughtered religious and other minorities.
  • Reached refugees in Jordan with the good news via providing relief, medical care, micro-business training, mentoring, and leadership training.

Africa

  • Missions Matter, which focuses on relief, sustainable development, and leadership training across Africa, became the 7th partner to join FPI.
  • Village Hope Renewal, working in Kenya on sustainable development, church planting, and leadership development, became the 8th partner under the FPI umbrella.
  • Provided for pastors and mentors across North Africa by motorcycle, equipped with the Jesus Film backpacks, to share the good news with the lost, encourage believers, and train leaders throughout the region.
  • Purchased a drill rig to provide clean water for drinking, cooking, and crop irrigation in impoverished villages, creating new opportunities to share the good news throughout extremely troubled Nigeria.


Asia

  • Held evangelistic outreaches and discipleship for students and young adults in Nepal. 


We are fully confident the Lord will continue working in our troubled world, expanding and bringing many into His Family and Kingdom. We are excited to be called to join Him in a great “harvest” of souls and restoration of lives in 2026! And while there have been no gaps in our hope and trust in Christ, we do again re-claim a “New Year … New Hope” in 2026!

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.
