What’s the longest distance you’ve ever cycled? For me it’s – well, let’s just say not very far!
So I’m incredibly impressed with David, featured in this edition of Hope from the Edges. In 2026 he plans to cycle 5,000km around East Africa to raise money for CMS in memory of his father, who worked with us for a long time. Isn’t that amazing? Please pray for David as he gears up for this!
In addition to physical feats, you'll also meet people who are using remarkable creativity in mission.
Mission partners Ben and Katy Ray in Tanzania have helped a man called Elinaja find a new career as a craftsman after a horrific accident caused him to lose his leg.
And in northern India, people in mission are overcoming the challenges of persecution by creating a whole new way to do church.
We hope you are encouraged by these extraordinary stories of God at workthrough the efforts of ordinary people who have stepped out in faith to serve others. If you’d like to take a further step yourself, then please consider joining us for a special prayer event next month – details below!
Thank you so much for receiving, opening and reading this email and for watching the short video above. It’s so good to be part of God’s mission together.
These stories wouldn’t be possible without your support! Thank you.

Nomadic church in north India: With persecution of Christians on the rise, creative approaches to church are vital - like this “congregation on the move” in the Himalayan mountains
A ride to remember: In loving memory of his father, who served with CMS, David is taking on a massive 5,000km cycle challenge to raise money for mission - take a 'brake' and read his story.
Your prayers are urgently needed for people in the Middle East. In a time of upheaval, many are opening their hearts and asking questions about Jesus. CMS partners on the ground are doing all they can to comfort people and guide them to God in a time of turmoil.
You can hear first-hand from CMS people in mission in the Middle East at our upcoming special Hope from the Edges LIVE prayer event. This time of sharing and prayer will take place online Wednesday 19 November, 12 noon GMT. Sign up to join us today and we will send you a Zoom link ahead of the event.
Together we will pray for peace, justice and love to prevail across the region. Thank you.
