EXPANDING THE MISSION –
In a world shaken by conflict, oppression, and spiritual darkness, AFTA remains a testament to the light and power of the gospel. In 2024, their 134 church planters across 14 countries stood firm in the face of political instability, persecution, and personal hardship, faithfully bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to Muslim communities. The results are nothing short of miraculous: 3,000 Muslims came to faith, 296 were baptized, and 182 new house churches and discipleship groups were launched. Additionally, 8,000 families received aid, a tangible expression of Christ’s love during times of great need. One especially moving story is that of “M” from Casablanca, a woman who suffered deeply in her youth but found hope and healing through the love of Christ and the support of believers from AFTA. Her journey from trauma to joy is a powerful reminder that Jesus hears the brokenhearted and answers long-held prayers.
As we look to 2025, the mission continues to grow. AFTA is expanding its reach to Muslim diaspora communities in northern Europe and is now ministering to Sudanese refugees in Uganda and Kenya. The upcoming Isaiah 19 Highway conference in Cyprus is a bold step toward reconciliation between former Muslims and Messianic Jews—once enemies, now brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s a vision rooted in Scripture and bursting with kingdom potential. None of this would be possible without the prayers, generosity, and partnership of those who stand with this ministry. As we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, we also celebrate every life made new in Him. He is risen—indeed, He is risen!
