The Star Mountain Rehabilitation Center (SMRC) of the Worldwide Unity near Ramallah (Palestine/West Bank) shares the success story of Yazed, born in 2023. His story is remarkable. He lives with his mother and brother. His father works abroad and can only visit the family occasionally. He was diagnosed with achondroplasia and macrocephaly. In 2025, he joined the kindergarten program at SMRC. This marked the beginning of a hopeful journey. At first, he cried often, resisted therapies, and had difficulty with strangers. Both verbal and nonverbal communication were barely possible. He responded minimally to instructions and interacted scarcely with his surroundings. He also suffered from muscle weakness and had little control over his head. But then, within twelve months, he made great progress through various therapies—to his own delight and that of his family—as four videos show, and he is grateful to God for this.

A new podcast is available on the website of the Brødremenighedens Danske Mission (BDM) in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Christianfeld, Denmark. Journalist Svend Løbner’s guest was Jørgen Bøytler, chairman of the Moravian Church’s mission organization in Denmark and also the globally active Unity Board Administrator (UBA). The conversation with Jørgen Bøytler centered on the key question: “Does the Moravian Church have a climate theology?” The theologian and missiologist’s answer: “A clear yes. It’s about creation, about the world, and how we treat nature, the globe on which we live. Our life is a gift that God has given us. We are charged with stewarding nature. And we are responsible for one another. Even though the Unity of the Brethren likes to point to Jesus as the Savior, the Redeemer, God as Creator must not be pushed into the background. We must face the fact that we humans are endangering creation." Listen here.

The Zeister Zendingsgenootschap (ZZg) of the Moravian Church in the Netherlands writes in a report on its 2025 Christmas campaign for Suriname: "Together, we raised 14,000 euros. 460 people received a Christmas package, including 169 children at the Leliëndaal and Sukh Dhaam children’s homes as well as at the Rebecca Scheltz and Siswa Tama girls’ boarding schools. The children at the homes enjoyed an unforgettable Christmas celebration filled with music, dance, fellowship, and lights. The packages also went to elderly people in need at the facilities Huize Albertine, Huize Francis, Huize Ashiana, and Huize Wisma Asih, as well as elderly people living at home, and single mothers with their children. One girl at the home said, “We’d like to celebrate like this more often, get to know each other better, and make new friends.” Volunteers had previously packed the gift packages. See here.

On April 26, 2026, the Moravian Church in Jaguëy Grande, Cuba, presented the awards for a literary contest that the church had announced a few weeks earlier. The entries were judged under the following motto by the famous Cuban poet and singer Victoria de Girón: “One must fight and win, one must live and love, one must laugh and sing, one must die and rise again.” The prizes for the 60 literary works submitted by congregation members for this contest were awarded in six categories: Poetry, Décima (a ten-line Spanish poetic form), Short Story, Children’s Poem, Children’s Story, and Work Best Reflecting the Theme. The parish jury consisted of: José Manuel Espino Ortega, Yolanda C. Brito Álvarez, and Carlos Ettiel Gómez Abreu. The jury stated: “The number and quality of the submissions were generally satisfactory.” Within the six literary categories, there were two award levels: Honorable Mention and Recognition. The highest award level was not awarded in every category. All winners received a certificate and a book as a gift. See here.

The Board of World Mission (BWM) of the Moravian Church in America introduces Brother Alberto, the village leader of the Chapi congregation in the Peruvian Amazon region. He has been working with the Moravian Church in this area for several years. He recently participated in a workshop in Bajo Canampa with Will Cuthbert from the BWM. He first heard about the Moravian Church during his studies and later met BWM staff members Justin Rabbach and Samuel Gray during visits to the Amazon region. The BWM presents his life story in English here. It begins: “I am happy to see so many people in church, especially the younger generation. If there is anything that can change their lives, it is God’s Word. I can assure you of that, because before I met Jesus, I lived a very worldly life, drank a lot, and eventually lost control of myself—until I met Pastor Edwin in Bajo Canampa—and with him, the Gospel and the love of Jesus.”

During a visit by staff members of the Board of World Mission (BWM) of the Moravian Church in America to the Peruvian Amazon region, Evangelina Domingo approached Will Cuthbert from Costa Rica. In her hands she held a book she cherishes deeply. In her native language, Aguaruna, she said to the evangelist: “Please convey our heartfelt thanks to those who made it possible for us to have a hymnal in our native language. I have been a Christian since 1997—one of the first in my village—and I never thought that one day I would be able to sing all these songs in my own language. This book will mean a great deal to me for the rest of my life.” Evangelina Domingos’s congregation has been connected to the Moravian Church in Peru for years. The BWM supports this connection through visits, travel grants, and the translation of hymnals into the local language. More here.
