Reach

In the Northwestern corner of Namibia lies the village of Opuwo. Its name means "end of the road" in Dhimba, the language spoken by residents of Opuwo. But for the Himba people who first heard the Gospel there, Opuwo was not the end of the road. It was the beginning. 

Michael Cardy with MegaVoice tells the story of a local pastor in that region who first felt the Lord calling him to reach the Himba people in 2017. 

At the time, Scripture in Dhimba was scarce. 

During his final days in office, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing for long-promised reform to the RCMP. 

A government report released Monday, which highlights concerns about Canada's capacity to meet "the new threat environment," says it's time to modernize the police service to focus on "the most serious forms of criminality."

It says the government’s vision should be to establish the RCMP as a "world class, intelligence-led, federal policing organization."

UniteUS recently held its third university gathering of 2025, and this time, 4,500 college students showed up to hear about the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Last week, the ministry team held a praise night at Purdue University in Layfayette, IN. Once again, the founder of IF:Gathering, Jennie Allen, was in attendance. Allen held impromptu baptisms afterward. 

"How they all help me baptize their friend?!" says Allen on Instagram. "Have you ever seen anything so dear?! It never gets old. God keeps doing it!"

Deuteronomy 7:9
