Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

The city of Santo Domingo is a dynamic, diverse city in the island nation of the Dominican Republic. Manuel and Jenna Sanchez were a part of planting Grace City Church in January of 2022 with the aim of reaching this fast-growing city with the gospel. The Lord is strengthening this young church daily as they make disciples and mobilize leaders to further the Kingdom throughout their city. Pray for the gospel to continue advancing in Santo Domingo and to every corner of the Dominican Republic.

Paris, France

There is a huge need for gospel-centered churches in the culturally rich, diverse, global city of Paris, France. Bryan and Carly Koffman are church planters with Eglise Saint Lazare in Paris, alongside lead planter Etienne Koning. Bryan is training to be sent out to another district in Paris where no evangelical church exists. The Koffmans love their city and the many unreached people around the world who come to Paris. Pray for gospel advance in Paris.

Kobe, Japan

Many Japanese do not yet know the good news of Jesus Christ. The Mustard Seed Network desires to see the cities of Japan saturated with the gospel and impacted by gospel-centered churches. Kevin and Nozomi West planted Mustard Seed Kobe in December 2015. The Wests will be planting a new church at the beginning of 2025 in Saitama, Japan. Pray for gospel advance in Kobe and throughout Japan.
