Hello, and welcome to God Reports! In the psalms, David writes:

“Proclaim among the nations what He has done.”

On the God Reports website, we exalt His name throughout the world. In 2016, more than a million people visited God Reports from over 200 countries.

God Reports supports and encourages Christian missions by sharing stories and testimonies from the mission field — in written and video form.

We love stories that describe the powerful ways God is at work throughout the world.

God Reports is organized by country, to allow those interested in missions to find ways to get plugged-in, whether that means volunteering, praying, giving, or going.

Let’s use God Reports to increase involvement in missions, by testifying to the transforming power found only in Jesus.
