Did you know that the World's fastest growing church is in Iran?

"Muslims are experiencing dreams and visions, leading many to find purpose and a different understanding of God." And what really blesses us—is that our ACOP Family supports Global Workers who are meeting to read scripture, serving the broken, delivering Bibles, and sharing Jesus stories in that corner of the world. How amazing!

You can read more about the growing church in Iran, and the testimonies from our Global Workers in the Middle East (below).

"Christianity is also growing in Iran through believers simply telling their friends and family about their new-found faith. House church movements have begun all over Iran, providing deep fellowship that has helped many Iranian believers to remain firm in their faith amid great persecution."^[1]

Speaking of house church movements, NEWChurch launched a 7-week program for your disciple-making heart that longs to see faith communities in our part of the world. Maybe you want to join? Read more below. 

Let's pray! Let's keep listening to the Holy Spirit and know where we fit into what God is doing. You are amazing ACOP Family!

"...with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation."—Revelation 5:9 NIV

On August 12^th NEWChurch launched a 7-week series following the KC Underground's "The Missionary Pathway" training process.

The conversation and discovery of fresh missional hearts has been rich and challenging!

It is our firm conviction and prayer that from this newfound passion for making disciples we will see many engaged in disciple-making disciplines, resulting in the establishment of many micro churches and faith communities—in many different contexts. 

Our next Living Like a Missionary cohort will begin on Monday, September 30^th and will run through to November 18^th. Choose which time slot works for you 👉 4:00 or 7:00 pm MST. This will be a life changing experience—join us!
