Iran is coming with war —
we are coming with Jesus, the Prince of Peace!
The Strait of Hormuz—the place everyone is talking about! Under cover of sunset, we hold our baptism to the sound of the air raid sirens. Across the bay lies Iran. During our leadership meetings, the air raid sirens have sounded in the background. Right now, we’re growing rapidly in the heart of the conflict. It all started with a call to action during the pandemic. We recruited a dockworker with no formal education but a passionate heart. That’s all it takes—surrender. Now we’ve planted more house churches than our budget allows!
I’m therefore asking for your help—the needs are enormous!
Gulf States 1, despite the bombs and the war, we baptize at least once a month. In one of the states, the breakthrough is now so significant that we must move from house churches to larger gatherings. This is a major challenge, as everything must be done in secret.
Gulf States 2, We’re taking the next step in the Strait of Hormuz—an underground crusade this fall—to reach all people with the Gospel!
MEGA conference for leaders in August in Shashamene, Ethiopia. Over 1,200 churches are participating, with the goal of reaching 500,000 Muslims in a massive crusade in 2027. Starting in May, we’ll send out 10 evangelists to 10 Muslim villages.
MEGA crusade, in September in Congo/Zambia. We’re breaking new ground in an extremely poor city in the mining district. Occultism, witchcraft, and Islam are on the rise; what we’re doing here now is incredibly important.
MEGA conference for leaders in October in Asia—in one of the countries where persecution is currently raging, we’re gathering over 1,000 leaders based on the vision “Bridge the Gap” and “The Rhythm of the Holy Spirit.” Leaders who risk imprisonment for their love of Jesus and for building His church.
Israel keeps coming back and asking for help, November. Every month, we help 50 Jews return home and support our children’s village. As soon as I can, I must go down there to meet many of those we’ve helped and rescued. If everything goes
Nepal, a massive impact. The wells we drill, the girls we rescue from the sex trade, the baptisms, the Bible distribution—it’s all yielding results. We regularly plant new churches in unreached areas.
This fall, we’re organizing several crusades and leadership mobilization events in the Third World. All of this is being planned right now. Thank you for all your wonderful support and your prayers. Now is the time—thank you for your gift, which is needed more than ever. Together, we’re bringing Jesus to the world.
In Jesus’ love,
Tommy Lilja
We do what we are – together we are fighting human trafficking!
Today we have an amazing team working on the border between Nepal and India. They are monitoring the busses headed to India, visiting villages with information, and influencing the authorities. Whatever they can do to rescue as many as possible. This year, 2024, we have already helped 60 girls, and right now 20 of them are getting training as seamstresses.
One of the girls was Punam, 15 years old, very poor, she came in contact with an unknown man who was on his way to smuggle her across the border into India. We found her at the last moment, at the bus station on the border to India.
Another one was Puja, 15 years old. She was married off at the age of 13. Her husband promised her family that Puja would have a better life. But then she was taken to India, tortured, rape, and sold as a prostitute. After 2 years she managed to escape, which is extremely rare. Once she crossed the border back into Nepal, someone told her about our ministry, and now she is in our care.
The cost for saving one girl is about 50 USD/GBP per month.
