While large gatherings and evangelistic events often take the spotlight, it’s the quiet, faithful work that follows that truly helps people grow. That’s where our follow-up team comes in — meeting people where they are, offering prayer, encouragement, and the love of Jesus in personal, meaningful ways.
Their ministry may be behind the scenes, but it’s deeply powerful. With compassion and consistency, they help people take their first steps in faith — not just making decisions for Jesus, but beginning a life with Him.
And sometimes, the impact is immediate and unforgettable.
Olga came to one of our recent evangelistic gatherings in Jerusalem, weighed down by chronic pain that had afflicted her whole body for over a year and a half. It wasn’t just physical — it was emotional and spiritual too. The doctors couldn’t pinpoint the cause, and she had tried all kinds of medicine, but nothing brought relief. Out of options, she came looking for prayer — not expecting much, but hoping for at least a flicker of hope.
She quietly approached one of our team members after the meeting, and their conversation began, as many others did, gently, with warmth and kindness. As they spoke, the team member asked her a simple but profound question:
“Do you believe in Jesus?”
Olga hesitated. Her voice trembled as she answered:
“I believe He died… but not for me. I’m not worthy of His love.”
That heartbreaking confession opened the door to something holy. In that moment, our team member Lena didn’t argue or try to persuade. She simply shared the truth of the Gospel — not as a concept or a set of rules, but as a person. Jesus. The one who sees our shame and doesn’t turn away. The one who took our sin, our pain, and our unworthiness to the cross — and who calls us beloved.
As the truth settled in her heart, something shifted. The lies that had weighed her down for years — that she was unworthy, that she was invisible to God — began to break.
Moved by the love of God, Olga said yes.
She prayed a sincere and heartfelt prayer of repentance, surrendering her life to Jesus and receiving Him as her Lord and Savior. It wasn’t scripted or forced — it was raw and real. A holy moment of new birth.
And then — something miraculous happened:
She looked up, visibly shocked, and quietly said that the pain in her body was completely gone. The affliction that had tormented her for so long had simply vanished.
We believe that what happened that day was not only physical healing, but a deep spiritual breakthrough. God not only touched her body, but also began a beautiful work of restoring her soul — healing wounds far deeper than anyone could see.
Olga’s story is just one among many.
Every week, through this quiet and consistent ministry, people are meeting Jesus — not only at the altar, but in the aftermath. In the follow-up. In the patient discipleship that happens behind the scenes.
Please continue to pray for Olga and for others like her who are stepping into faith, some for the very first time. Pray for deep roots, lasting freedom, and growing hunger for the Word.
And please lift up our faithful follow-up team. They are often the unseen heroes — standing in the gap, walking with people from brokenness into belonging, from fear into faith, and from questions into the arms of the Savior.
This is the Gospel in action. One heart at a time. One story at a time. And it’s just the beginning.
