Words of Hope has a simple goal—get the word of God into the homes and hands of the world’s least evangelized people. WOH uses a variety of media to reach countries closed to missionaries and offers follow-up for those who want more information, study materials, and in-person discipleship training.
Centennial Covenant Church has been involved with WOH’s Persian ministries, and several of our church family have participated in week-long conferences attended by believers from underground churches.

On April 7, Words of Hope President Jon Opgenorth will be preaching, and accompanying him will be a Brother sharing how he found Christ in a hostile country. This Brother (who for security reasons cannot be identified in print) will tell more of his journey at a catered lunch after church. Their combined stories offer insight into the reality of following Christ under persecution and offer HOPE of how we at Centennial can be involved and pray for people like our Brother.
RSVPs are REQUIRED IN ADVANCE for lunch April 7.
RSVP to GlobalTeamSend@centcov.org
We request $5 per adult for this lunch, if possible. No charge for children.

Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting and prayer.
Throughout the Muslim world, followers of Islam will fast from sunrise until sundown, praying and seeking God. During this time of spiritual seeking, many Christians pray that the living God will show Muslims that He can be found in the Person of Jesus Christ.
In 2024, Ramadan is from March 10 through April 9. Frontiers is offering a daily email throughout the feast to guide Christians in praying for Christ to reveal himself to Muslims. Each day offers a story, a Bible verse to focus on, and three prayer points.
