Dear Friend,
This past summer, college student Danylo "Daniel" Ibrahimov stood before a group of children in Albany, Western Australia, sharing a Bible lesson during Holiday Club. As a summer missionary with the IMB, he discipled students, led worship, and served alongside IMB missionaries Ken and Kathy Woods.
Daniel's journey to Australia was a testament to God's faithfulness. The son of a Ukrainian pastor, his family fled Kyiv when war broke out, eventually settling in Germany, where his father planted a church for Ukrainian refugees. Through the guidance of IMB missionaries, Daniel later found his way to William Carey University in Mississippi, where God continued shaping his heart for the nations.
When the opportunity arose to serve in Australia, visa challenges nearly closed the door. But three days before departure, God made a way. For nine weeks, Daniel poured into the local church, discipling students and sharing the hope of Christ.
God is raising up faithful servants like Daniel—students willing to go wherever He calls. Last summer, dozens of college students partnered with IMB teams around the world, stepping into mission fields and advancing the gospel. As you pray, would you ask the Lord to continue calling and equipping young men and women to take His name to the nations?
I hope you'll take a moment to read Daniel's full story and see how God is at work:

Your partnership is making an eternal impact throughout the nations.
