What if one conversation could change the eternity of an entire region?

He was living a quiet, ordinary life in a small village tucked between mountains and dust worn paths until a traveling preacher came through and spoke words he had never heard before. Words about truth. About grace. About a Savior who knew his name.

That day, everything changed.

The gospel didn’t just stir his heart it awakened something deeper. A realization that shook him: If I had never heard this… how many others haven’t either?

He couldn’t unsee it.

So he stayed close to the preacher who first shared the truth with him. He listened. He learned. He asked questions. He was discipled day by day, truth by truth until his faith took root. And one morning, standing in a quiet river surrounded by a few witnesses, he was baptized. Not just into water but into purpose.

That’s when the burden became a calling.

He began to map out the unknown. Village after village. Places no one had gone to share the gospel. No roads. No easy paths. Just miles of rugged terrain, long nights, and uncertain tomorrows.

And still, he went.

Days turned into weeks. Weeks into months. He walked through valleys, climbed mountains, slept under open skies. He spoke when no one listened. He returned when no one responded.

Until one day… someone did.

One person.

One life transformed.

And he didn’t move on.

He stayed. He discipled. He opened the Bible that had once been given to him and now poured it into another. They prayed together. Learned together. Shared together.

Then came another.

And another.

A family.

A gathering.

A church.

But he didn’t stop there.

He trained them the same way he had been trained. He discipled them, baptized them, equipped them not just to believe, but to go. Together, they began reaching neighboring villages.

What started as one changed life became a movement.

Village by village.
Story by story.
Soul by soul.

Until there were 65 churches.

65 living, breathing communities of faith actively learning about Jesus, sharing Him boldly, and living out the New Testament in real time.

It wasn’t easy.

It was long.
It was exhausting.
It was often lonely.

But it was sacred.

Because this is what happens when ordinary people say “yes” to an extraordinary call.

This is what happens when the gospel doesn’t stop with you.

Who is still waiting to hear?
What village is still untouched?
What if your “yes” could start something like this?

The mission is not finished.
And the harvest is still waiting.

Church planting has always changed nations.

It doesn’t start with buildings. It starts with communities of Christ being formed in the middle of real life. People gathering in homes, streets, and everyday spaces, carrying hope into places that feel forgotten or dark. Where the gospel takes root, life begins to grow again.

The early church is the clearest picture of this. In the midst of persecution and pressure, it didn’t shrink back, it multiplied. Scattered believers carried the message of Jesus into new cities and regions, often without influence, safety, or status. And yet those small, faithful communities reshaped entire nations over time. What looked fragile became unstoppable because it was rooted in the Spirit of God.

That same question still matters today: how do we reach places that feel unreachable?

At The Movement International, that question is our call. We believe the answer is still the same; faithful people planting faithful churches, bringing the presence of Jesus into places where hope feels absent. Not through power or platform, but through presence, obedience, and love lived out in community.

Church planting is not just strategy. It’s how God has always moved history forward.

And it’s still how He’s doing it today.

We are in awe of what God is doing right now in one district of Nepal!

What started as small, faithful steps of obedience has grown into something only He could accomplish, 64 churches are now meeting regularly, all planted in this region. Even more incredible, over the past two months, 4–5 families every single week have made the decision to follow Christ.

Let that sink in… entire families, week after week, choosing Jesus.

This is happening in an area where anti-conversion laws exist, where following Christ can come with real cost and risk. And yet, the Gospel is moving forward with power. Lives are being transformed. Hope is rising. Light is breaking through darkness.

Every single one of these believers is a first-generation Christian. There is no legacy of faith behind them. They are the beginning of something new. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s absolutely beautiful.

We are witnessing the early church come alive in our time.

But movements like this don’t sustain themselves without support. These new believers need prayer, encouragement, and covering as they grow in their faith and stand strong in challenging circumstances.

Will you join us in what God is doing?

🙏 Pray for boldness and protection over these families.
🙏 Pray for the leaders shepherding these new churches.
🙏 Pray that the Gospel would continue to spread even in the face of opposition.

God is moving!

This Good Friday, we remember the ultimate sacrifice that gives us life. Jesus laid down His life so we could be made new. His love changes everything. 🌿
At The Movement International, we’re honored to plant churches that carry this message of hope to the unreached of the world! Today, let’s pause, reflect, and give thanks for his love and sacrifice.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8"

Today we are celebrating 55 more students who have graduated from our Bible school in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal!

These students have made incredible sacrifices to answer the call on their lives. They are passionate, courageous, and committed to seeing their nation transformed for Christ. Each graduate is required to plant 3 house churches before they can complete their training, and they are already stepping out in faith and obedience.

In the next month, we are expecting 200 more students to graduate from areas outside of the valley, each one carrying the same vision to impact their communities and beyond. Across multiple unreached countries, we now have thousands of students rising up to bring hope and the Gospel where it is needed most.

We are so grateful for our amazing donors who make this possible. Because of your generosity, lives are being changed and nations are being reached.

For just $35.00 a month, you can support one student through their Bible college journey. You are not just giving, you are investing in changing nations.

In a very hostile region of an undisclosed country(for security reasons), Pastor J felt called to serve a village that had no known believers. It was a place where the Gospel had not yet taken root.

Instead of beginning with a traditional church service, he started with a school for poor children. It was small. Simple. Humble. But it was the only school in the village.

Pastor J visited homes regularly, sharing stories of hope from Scripture with the children and their families. Little by little, relationships formed. Trust grew. Conversations deepened.

Over time, something beautiful happened. The school began to transform into more than a classroom. It became a gathering place for prayer, hope, and community. People started meeting there not just for lessons, but for encouragement. It became a place where celebrations were held, where burdens were shared, and where faith quietly began to take root.

The church was no longer a building visited once a week. It became the center of community life. That is the heart behind church planting in unreached places. Not simply to create a service, but to cultivate a living, breathing expression of Christ in the middle of daily life.

Pastor J began praying regularly with the village leader as well, asking God for wisdom and guidance for the community. As the leader witnessed prayers being answered and sensed God’s presence, his heart softened. He has now started visiting the school and the growing church community. Through his openness, new doors and opportunities are emerging.

What once was a village with zero known Christians is now a place where the name of Jesus is spoken with hope!

From none to 51.

A few years ago, Aziza and her family chose to follow Jesus in a place where that decision can cost everything. It did.

Her husband was murdered for his faith. Since then, she and her children have lived under constant threat. By every worldly measure, her story looks like loss.

But when our pastor sat with her recently, what stood out wasn’t fear.

It was joy.

After her husband’s death, Aziza wrestled deeply with God. She knew continuing to follow Jesus openly could bring even greater danger. She had every reason to step back.

Instead, she chose obedience.

And God began to move.

One neighbor at a time. One conversation at a time. One open heart at a time.

As she quietly shared her testimony and the Word of God, lives began to change. Over the past few years, she has secretly led 51 people to Christ.

From none… to 51.

For safety, they don’t meet all at once. Small groups come throughout the week. They study Scripture. They pray. They encourage one another. In a place of hostility, her small home has become a refuge.

Recently, she carried a dream in her heart—to gather them all together for one evening of celebration. For months, she saved every extra bit she could. When the day came, they packed into her home shoulder to shoulder. They ate. They worshiped. They shared stories of how God is now using them to reach others.

She said,
“We truly celebrated that God uses even the weak to glorify His name.”

Her faith didn’t grow in comfort. It grew in brokenness.

Aziza says she is simply obedient to whatever God asks of her.

And I can’t help but pray that I would carry even a portion of that courage.

From grief to growth.
From fear to faith.
From none to 51.

What could God do through us if we simply said yes?

This week, I was deeply inspired by a story shared by one of our pastors, one that reminds me why the Church exists.

Iqbal, a Muslim man, lived with crippling back pain for two years. The pain stole his ability to work, walk, and provide for his family. Fear followed him daily. Even after doctors discovered an infection in his bones, nothing improved.

In his desperation, Iqbal heard about a small group of Christians near his home who gathered to pray and study the Bible. Though he didn’t know Jesus and despite living in a place where following Christ can come with real persecution, he chose to visit. What he found wasn’t judgment or distance, but love. The church welcomed him, prayed for him, and continued to pray for him every single day.

And God moved.

Strength returned. Pain disappeared. Iqbal was completely healed.

But the greatest miracle wasn’t just physical healing, it was what followed. Through the consistent love and faith of the church, Iqbal encountered the family of God. He saw Jesus through His people. Because of their obedience, compassion, and prayers, Iqbal chose to follow Christ. Today, he is welcoming others, praying for them, and sharing the freedom he has found.

This is the power of the Church.

God cares deeply about the one. One life can impact a family. A family can impact a home. A home can impact a community. And a community can change a city.

Churches are more than buildings. They are places of refuge, prayer, healing, and hope. When people ask why we plant churches, this is the answer.

May we always be the hands and feet of Jesus.

As we begin this New Year, we are reminded that true peace does not come from a change in circumstances but from a change of heart through Christ.

In a village in Nepal, Pastor K met a family whose lives were marked by constant trouble. Their home was filled with conflict, sickness, and repeated accidents. These struggles affected not only their family but also caused problems throughout the village. There was no peace in their lives.

Pastor K shared the gospel with them and explained the peace we can have in Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace. When they placed their faith in Him, their lives were truly changed.

Since that day, peace has filled their home. Their attitudes, relationships, and daily lives have been transformed in a visible way. The people in their village noticed the difference and saw the peace of Christ at work in them. Because of this powerful testimony, others have also come to Christ, desiring the same peace they now see in this family.

As we enter this New Year, may many more lives and communities experience the life changing peace that only Christ can give.

“The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7

✨ Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. ✨

Recently, one of our pastors embarked on a journey few would dare to take; overcrowded buses, winding mountain roads, and an eight-hour motorbike ride through freezing, rocky paths. He went with joy, returning to a region that had changed his life nearly 30 years ago.

Decades ago, as a young new pastor, he planted six small house churches there. Over the years, he mentored local pastors, shared the Gospel and taught them to reach even more people. On this recent trip, he discovered something incredible: those six house churches had grown into 150! Communities once considered unreached are now thriving with believers living out the Gospel in homes and villages. He spent a week visiting churches, encouraging pastors, teaching, praying, and even dedicating a baby, a grandchild of a couple he led to Christ nearly 30 years ago.

This is the power of one life surrendered to God. One journey. One act of faith. One movement that multiplies generations.

💛 This is why we plant churches: to create places of hope, growth, and belonging. Places where widows and orphans find support, the lonely find family, and entire communities encounter Jesus.

And now, you can be part of making more stories like this possible. A generous partner has offered a $5,000 matching grant this December, every dollar you give will be doubled! Your gift will help train leaders, plant churches in unreached areas, support Bible school students, and provide ministry resources to spread the Gospel where Christ has never been named.

Together, we can reach further than ever, spark hope in waiting villages, and create spiritual homes for families across nations.

🙏 Join us in being part of this story! A story that transforms lives, communities, and generations.
