MESSAGE FROM FRANK AND ANNA

2025 was a year marked by crisis, courage, and extraordinary spiritual harvest. As conflict erupted along the Thailand–Cambodia border, Agape Way pastors stepped into the chaos with compassion, food, shelter, and the Gospel.

What the enemy meant for harm became a season of revival, unity, and transformation. Through your generosity, hundreds of families were fed, thousands heard the Gospel, and entire communities experienced the love of Christ.
As we step into a new year, we want to pause and reflect on all that God has done through your generosity in 2025. This was a year marked by crisis and uncertainty — yet also by extraordinary compassion, spiritual harvest, and transformation. Your prayers and support made a profound difference.

✝️ SPIRITUAL IMPACT

The Gospel advanced amid crises.

• Thirteen new believers were baptized, even as conflict echoed near the border.

• Hundreds of children and refugees, including monks, accepted Christ during outreach events.

• Twenty-seven students joined the new online English program.
• The College Fund was launched to help students attend university.

The students expressed their gratitude in the thank-you letters.
Bombo, 13, wrote, “I’m so thankful for supporting our study. I don’t know how I can repay this kindness to you. I can only study hard for the future. I want to be a teacher, and I wish the supporters strength and wisdom. I love you all.”
Panha, 16, wrote, I am very happy and deeply grateful to you, my sponsor, for supporting my education. Your help has truly given me hope that I can continue studying until I finish school. My family is poor and lacks the means to send me to school. I love going to school. When I grow up, I want to become a doctor because I love helping people, especially those who are sick. I want to build a fulfilling career and earn enough to help others. I wish all my sponsors good health, strength, and wisdom.”
Your generosity opened doors that will change lives for years to come.

🌱 LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026

We enter this new year with hope and expectation. There is much work to be done — more families to reach, more students to support, more pastors to equip, more churches to strengthen.
In 2026, we are praying specifically for the continued support of 55 students and for 20 additional students who are still waiting for sponsorship.
We are also excited to share that Frank has developed new training materials that will become a full curriculum. This will allow us to begin online ministry training this spring, equipping pastors and young leaders across the US, China, Cambodia, and other parts of the world.
