Sunday Highlight: September 6, 2026

Missionaries Nawid and Freshta Aziz need our prayers as they serve refugees in western Europe through the International Mission Board. 

Anahita and her family fled their homeland in Central Asia, enduring a four-year journey marked by hardship—including the loss of a child. Struggling with grief and depression, Anahita found comfort through a women’s ministry led by Freshta. 

Anahita began attending church and learning about Jesus. Her husband joined her and recently committed his life to Christ. Pray that Anahita will follow.

Nawid and Freshta minister to both non-believing and Christian refugees, offering discipleship and teaching foundational theology. Language barriers make it difficult for refugees to attend local churches, but the Aziz family speak their native Central Asian language and are welcomed as family.

This summer, they are hosting camps to share the Gospel and offer hope to those who have experienced trauma and loss. As Nawid and Freshta serve with compassion, pray for wisdom and protection. Pray for Anahita’s husband to grow in faith, for Anahita to receive Christ, and for many refugees to find healing and new life through the Gospel.
