They were about obedience.<\/p>\n<p>Students prayed for the sick, shared the Gospel, encouraged local churches and missionaries, ministered to children and families, and watched God move in powerful ways. Many discovered that missions are not simply something we read about in Scripture\u2014it is something we are called to live.<\/p>\n<p>Some boarded a plane for the very first time this summer. Some arrived at CFNI never imagining they would one day stand in another nation preaching, serving, and sharing the love of Christ. Yet God used their simple \u201cyes\u201d to impact lives around the world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"cfn-video\">\n<div class=\"cfn-player cfn-player--inline cfn-player--youtube cfn-player--plays\" data-kind=\"youtube\" data-id=\"PfrxZQBrTZ8\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"cfn-player__face\" aria-label=\"Play\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"cfn-player__poster\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PfrxZQBrTZ8\/maxresdefault.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;this.src='https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/PfrxZQBrTZ8\/hqdefault.jpg'\"><span class=\"cfn-player__shade\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"cfn-player__top\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"cfn-player__play\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"cfn-player__meta\"><span class=\"cfn-player__kick\">Play<\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption>Mardi Gras Outreach 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This season alone:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 outreach teams were launched<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>221 participants were mobilized<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>17 nations and tribal regions were reached<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>More than $524,000 was raised to support evangelism, humanitarian outreach, and local ministry partnerships<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every number represents a life touched by the Gospel.<\/p>\n<p>At CFNI, students are not only trained in the classroom; they are equipped to go.<\/p>\n<p>As you read these stories, we invite you to do more than celebrate what God is doing.
