Restore Church Network of MicrochurchesFor five years, the Yeshua Society, led by Mo Wildey, has focused on Indianapolis, reaching the alcohol and drug addiction community with the gospel. Now, the Yeshua Society feels called to grow through planting non-traditional Western style churches with a focus on reaching more people in the margins. This expansion is called Restore Church Network (RCN) of Microchurches (small expressions of churches like found in the book of Acts), Discovery groups (pre-microchurches), and Bible study groups. There are currently nine groups in the United States and United Kingdom. RCN in the United Kingdom is excited to partner with World Renewal as they grow!
There are about 30 people meeting in small groups in Birmingham, UK with missionary Tim Benett, and the hopes of launching a group with a missionary in London by the end of the summer. Please consider partnering with this new opportunity in the United Kingdom, and visit in person this fantastic ministry in Indianapolis! Mo Wildey

Outreach with the RibeirosIn 2019, Markinhos and his wife Andrea moved to England from Brazil, where he had known Tele Moraes for many years. Over their long friendship, he had seen Tele plant church after church, and Markinhos firmly believed that this was God's design. The Ribeiros found a robust community of Brazilians in their southwest part of England, with many of them seeking a deeper connection with the Lord. They partnered with the Baptist Church for the Nations, and are working toward forming their own house church. As they are not supported (as yet), they are also working full-time. It is slow going, but building relationships and serving their neighbors and family in day-to-day life is a great adventure.
Markinhos knew he was funny and wanted to make people laugh since he was little. A great ventriloquist and puppeteer, he could draw crowds and build excitement anywhere. Little did he know that God would have him use his passion to draw others to Christ. If you’ve known Markinhos for long, you’ve probably met his friend, Bibi the Black Bird. Together, they’ve been sharing Jesus in person and on the radio for many years now. World Renewal Brazil runs an International Web Radio, where Markinhos (and Bibi’s) show, Programa Praise and Play, has over 1000 regular, weekly listeners. Marcos & Andrea Ribeiro
