Exciting Start to 2026

2026 is off to a strong start for GCPP! Already, our partners have led trainings in the Amazon, Africa, Portugal, and South Asia.  Since January, over 500 people have been trained in church planting!

Jeff just returned from South Asia where he and a small team were able to train 160 pastors and leaders. This is one of the more difficult places we travel, as persecution for the believers there is quite common. It's safe to say that most of the pastors that attended our trainings have served time in prison because of their faith. It's a humbling opportunity God gives us to serve and study God's word alongside these faithful believers. One of our partners, Nana, who served with us on this trip, is 82 and has been beaten countless times throughout his life because of his faith. However, that has never slowed him down and he has personally started 36 churches in this heavily persecuted country. Over the years, those 36 churches have multiplied to over 3000 churches! We cannot show his face for security reasons, and he would not want credit or acknowledgement for his work, but there will be thousands of people in Heaven someday because of Nana. There are people you meet in missions that you know are sacredly set apart by God, and we believe Nana is one of those men.

As spring approaches, we are in the midst of planning and preparing for our mission teams that will join us in 2026. We love our missions teams! We will host our first team of the year next month with a medical team to Brazil. If God is leading you to join one of our training trips or mission teams, we would love to talk to you about it! Lord willing, the locations for 2026 where Jeff and Rachel will travel personally are Brazil, Africa, Argentina, South Asia, and Canada. We will keep you updated along the way and covet your prayers. 

Jeff was presented with a beautiful shaw on his Asia trip.
