Carrying the Cross to All Nations: March 2025 Global Missions Update
In a world rife with challenges—from natural disasters and poverty to restricted access to education and healthcare—the mission to bring hope, compassion, and the Gospel remains more important than ever. The March 2025 update from Every Home for Christ (EHC) is a powerful testament to unwavering faith in action, showcasing how love for Christ is transforming communities across continents.

Global Footprints of Compassion and Outreach
EHC continues its global mission across countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, India, Samoa, Nepal, Pakistan, and more. Each outreach is rooted in the belief that true transformation happens when physical needs are met in tandem with spiritual nourishment.

Sri Lanka: Hope Through Education
In Norton Bridge, Lanka Hope Partners has launched an educational initiative targeting underprivileged children in tea plantation communities. With a preschool and after-school tuition programs now underway, these efforts are already sowing the seeds of a brighter future. Emphasis on character development and spiritual guidance ensures that these young minds grow in knowledge and faith.

Bangladesh: Breaking the Poverty Cycle
EHC Bangladesh’s holistic approach is yielding tangible results. Free education programs have supported children like Joy and Barsha, offering them hope and dignity. Vocational training for women has empowered many, such as Rubina and Liza, with life-changing skills. Meanwhile, the Rickshaw/Van Project is lifting entire families out of generational poverty by providing sustainable livelihoods.

Zambia: Empowering Through Food Security
The Kazala Food Security and Outreach Program in Zambia is a shining example of long-term community empowerment. Operating for over 12 years, it has improved agricultural productivity, sanitation, and early education while sharing the Gospel with over 8,000 individuals. Support from Australia has been instrumental in delivering tangible, life-altering change.

Samoa: Reaching the Unreachable
Thanks to generous donations, missionary Timothy in Samoa will soon receive a much-needed 11-seater bus. This will allow him to reach remote villages, hold Bible studies, and continue distributing audio Bibles—especially beneficial in areas with low literacy rates. His community work, including youth camps and health workshops, strengthens faith and social cohesion.

Papua New Guinea: Swift Relief and Spiritual Encouragement
After a devastating landslide in the Mulitaka region, EHC’s rapid response delivered essential food, clothing, and Gospel tracts to affected families. Rev. Aaron Nikkie and his team undertook a five-hour journey to bring relief and spiritual encouragement. This humanitarian response exemplifies EHC’s commitment to being the hands and feet of Jesus in times of crisis.

New Zealand: A Historic Step Forward
A milestone was reached in New Zealand as Every Home Global Concern NZ began printing and distributing newsletters locally from Tauranga. This transition not only cuts costs but symbolizes a new chapter in expanding Gospel outreach across Aotearoa. The faithful team, gathered in a humble garage, reflects the power of community and sacrificial giving.

Australia & New Zealand: Leadership in Action
Greg Bondar, Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, recently visited schools and mission sites in Sri Lanka and India. His reflections speak of resilience and community spirit, where EHC plays a vital role in both humanitarian support and spiritual development. His encouragement reminds supporters that their prayers and contributions are catalysts for real change.

Daily Prayer Focus: March in the Book of Isaiah
Each day in March, EHC invites its global family to read through the book of Isaiah, aligning their hearts in prayer with believers worldwide. With daily country focuses—from Kenya to Venezuela to the Philippines—this initiative calls Christians to stand in prayer for transformation, peace, and the spread of the Gospel.

A Legacy of Faith, A Future of Hope
Since its founding in 1975 as the World Literature Crusade, EHC has remained committed to the Great Commission. From printed literature to modern outreach strategies, EHC continues to be a beacon of hope and change across the globe. The vision that began with pioneers like Eric Leach lives on—expanded, enriched, and embraced by new generations.

In closing, Greg Bondar shares a powerful reminder from Proverbs 19:17:
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.”
As EHC continues to carry Christ to every home, supporters are invited to partner in prayer and giving, knowing that their investment echoes into eternity.

Hope in Action – Every Home for Christ’s Global Impact in 2025

Carrying the Cross to All Nations: How Faith and Compassion Are Changing Lives

In a world often shaken by poverty, conflict, and natural disasters, Every Home for Christ (EHC) stands as a beacon of light—offering not only physical aid but the life-changing hope of Christ. As we reflect on the March 2025 update, the global reach and spiritual impact of this Christian mission become undeniably clear.

A Worldwide Mission of Mercy and Ministry

EHC’s efforts span across continents—from the bustling streets of Bangladesh to the remote villages of Samoa and the disaster-struck communities of Papua New Guinea. What sets this ministry apart is its dual commitment: providing essential humanitarian aid while ensuring that the message of Christ is shared with every home, everywhere.

In Sri Lanka, where poverty grips the tea plantation communities, EHC’s local partner, Lanka Hope Partners, has launched a bold education initiative. A preschool and after-school tuition program are providing underprivileged children not just a quality education but also a foundation of faith and character. As Noel Abelasan, National Director, shares, “We are transforming lives through education, encouragement, and faith.”

Reaching the Remote: Samoa’s Outreach Journey

In the Pacific, missionary Timothy’s work in Samoa is gaining momentum. The community rallied around fundraising for a much-needed 11-seater bus to facilitate travel to remote areas. More than just transport, the bus will become a vessel of outreach—carrying supplies, hosting Bible studies, and bringing Christ to villages often overlooked.

The distribution of audio voice Bibles has also revolutionized spiritual access in regions with low literacy. Locals can now listen to Scripture in their native language, creating a deeper and more personal connection with the Word.

Empowering through Sustainability: Zambia’s Kazala Program

In Zambia, the Kazala Food Security and Outreach Program has transformed over 500 households through food security, clean water, education, and Christian discipleship. Every Home Global Concern in Australia backs this initiative, ensuring that families not only survive but thrive.

By combining crop support, livestock rearing, and preschool education, the program uplifts communities holistically. Over 8,000 individuals have heard the gospel through these efforts, proving that practical aid and spiritual revival go hand in hand.

Breaking the Cycle in Bangladesh

EHC’s roots in Bangladesh run deep, dating back to its founding as the World Literature Crusade. Today, its free education programs, vocational training for women, and transport initiatives like the Rickshaw/Van Project are rewriting the futures of thousands.

Joy and Barsha, two young students, exemplify the transformation possible when financial barriers to education are removed. Vocational graduates like Rubina and Liza now earn independent incomes through sewing, while men like Philip and Awal have gained financial independence through donated vans—enabling them to support their families sustainably.

Emergency Response with Compassion: Papua New Guinea

When a landslide devastated parts of Papua New Guinea in May 2024, EHC responded within days. Delivering food, clothing, and gospel tracts, the ministry exemplified how spiritual care and tangible aid can be delivered side by side. Their continued involvement under the Mulitaka Disaster Recovery Plan ensures no one is forgotten.

A Future Fueled by Faith

From launching new prayer initiatives to printing newsletters locally in New Zealand for efficiency, EHC remains innovative and forward-looking. Upcoming global events like the 50th Anniversary Lunch, Holy City Conference, and the Marriage Summit offer opportunities to celebrate, reflect, and refocus on the mission.

And while March’s daily Bible readings dive into the book of Isaiah, the real-life stories from around the globe are modern-day testaments of the Scriptures in action.

Final Words from the Field

Greg Bondar, Managing Director for Australia & New Zealand, encourages ongoing support: “Our dedication to loving others and serving those in need helps uplift entire communities. We provide both immediate relief and lasting change—while spreading the message of hope in Christ.”

As Proverbs 19:17 reminds us: “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.”
