J & K transitioned to Egypt from Ethiopia last year. After an encouraging summer with family and partner visits in the Midwest, J & K resumed life and work in the bustling city of Cairo-the largest of the Arab world. Though much of their time is spent in language learning - Egyptian Arabic - J & K are part of a large and diverse group of expatriates who are reaching Muslims for Jesus. Together, they are advancing the gospel through varied outreach efforts. They run kingdom-focused businesses that create jobs and build community connections, engage youth through education and vocational training, and provide compassionate healthcare and trauma healing. Their team also strengthens the local church through discipleship and leadership development, while exploring creative ministries like music and visual storytelling to share Christ’s message in culturally relevant ways. J continues occasional visits to their old home in Ethiopia to advise and encourage local church leaders. J & K rejoice in the ongoing support of New Hope, “We thank God for you all and appreciate your prayers, encouragement and support so much! Please pray for wisdom and grace as we resume Arabic learning and also continue to seek God's will and leading for ministry for both ourselves and the rest of our team.”
