As we step into a new year, our hearts are stirred by the unmistakable evidence that God is moving across the world in powerful, life-changing ways. The cover article of this edition of the magazine (read it here) is a study of the signs of the last days, and truly the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 feel closer to reality than ever before. When His disciples gathered around Him on the Mount of Olives, asking for signs of His coming and the end of the world, Jesus spoke of events that would shake nations and challenge the faith of many. Among those signs, He also declared a glorious certainty: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matthew 24:14).

That declaration is not a distant hope—we are witnessing the unfolding of that prophecy in our generation. The Gospel message is circulating the globe with a momentum that only Heaven could generate. Evidence of that fact can be seen in the recent report on our global work. From the bustling streets of London to remote villages of Alaska, from large congregations in Africa to pioneering works in Asia, Australia, and Canada, the message of Jesus Christ continues to reach hearts that long for truth, hope, and salvation. The Gospel is not confined by borders, cultures, or circumstances. Persecution and poverty have not stopped its spread, but serve to highlight the resilience of God’s people and the unstoppable power of His Word. Whether through digital platforms, printed pages, or whispered conversations in regions where professing Christ is costly, the Gospel continues its steady march across every continent.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:14 are both a prophecy and an invitation: the Gospel will be preached in all the world, and we are called to help carry it forward. We are not meant to be merely spectators, but participants in what God is doing. Each Gospel meeting held, and each sermon preached, each church planted, and each soul saved is another milestone in the fulfillment of Christ’s promise. These are not just statistics—they are examples that we are part of something eternal and divinely orchestrated. The challenge before us is to contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints, to stand firmly on God’s promises, and to consecrate our lives anew to the cause of Christ.

Though the world around us is filled with uncertainty, conflict, and moral decline in these last days, believers have every reason to lift our eyes with hope. The signs of the times are not cause for us to fear, but reminders that our redemption is near! For us, these are days of anticipation, purpose, and renewed urgency. May the contents of this magazine inspire you to remain steadfast and courageous, and may you be reminded that the Gospel is advancing—and you have a place in God’s story.
