As of the beginning of December, we have received a total of $74,391 toward the $240,000 purchase price for the building site for the Good Samaritan Center. We have six more months to raise the additional $165,609 (before the July 2026 deadline). The cost of each square foot of this building site is $58 USD. Your contribution for one square foot or more of this land will help us make the GSC a reality. The existence of this ministry center will create a significant increase in capacity for the ministry of the Somali Bible Society, their local church partners, and the An-Nour University. Although we are in need of some large donations at this point, donations of any size will be greatly appreciated.

Is God Calling You?

The Somali Bible Society is currently recruiting missionaries to serve in various countries around the globe. We need missionaries in the major cities of the USA and in most world regions outside of the USA. If you, or someone you know, would like to discuss the possibility of involvement in a mission to the Somali people in some region of the world, or even somewhere in the USA, email me:

PRAYER REQUESTS

#1) Pray for volunteers across the USA and around the world to partner with us in raising funds for the Good Samaritan Center (GSC). Ask the Lord to have individuals and churches who are willing and interested to join us in promoting this important ministry center to contact Dr. Howie Shute via email at howie@somalibiblesociety.org

#2) Pray that God would step into our need and raise through generous donors the entire balance of the $165,000 owed for the GSC by July 4, 2026. Pray that our supporters and subscribers would become excited by the potential impact of this ministry center and would join with us making this need a priority in their prayer life.

#3) Pray that our newsletter subscribers will forward this month’s issue to their friends, family, and church so that others may see the need and great impact of this future center. We desperately need to increase the reach to a greater audience of potential donors.

NOTE: There are many SBS ministries all needing prayer, but we have limited the prayer list this month to these three prayer requests so that we can focus on this critical need with an upcoming deadline.

PRAISE REPORTS

#1) We praise the Lord for a Christian lady in Texas who has volunteered to assist us in raising funds for the Good Samaritan Center (GSC). The Lord is so good to expand our sphere of influence, causing others to partner with us to raise the necessary funds to satisfy our land purchase contract for the GSC expiring in July 2026!

#2) We praise God that we have received invitations for SBS to be represented at extremely influential venues in the month of January to promote the GSC and the ministries of the Somali Bible Society. We cannot at this time give specifics on these high-level speaking engagements due to security concerns. We can report on the specifics next month.
