From Clean Water to Living Water: 900 Souls Meet Jesus in 2024
Brother Jimmy baptizes new believer
In 2024, the Galilee Foundation, supported by Compel International, brought the hope of Christ to communities across North Macedonia—reaching hearts and transforming lives. Through evangelism, humanitarian aid, and leadership training, the team celebrated an extraordinary milestone: 900 individuals made the decision to follow Jesus, embracing the Living Water He offers (John 4:14).
A Year of Reaching the Unreached
North Macedonia, a country with a diverse religious landscape, is home to a significant Muslim minority and a small population of Evangelical Christians, comprising less than 0.2% of the nation. Despite the challenges, the Galilee Foundation ventured boldly into new territories, conducting 35 evangelism campaigns in towns and villages, some of which had never heard the Gospel.
With Compel International’s support, the team distributed:
1,500 full Bibles
5,000 New Testaments
40,000 gospel tracts
Each outreach ensured that the message of salvation reached as many as possible.
“We are never stopping. Please continue to pray with us as we press forward to bring more souls to Jesus.”
From Physical Needs to Spiritual Transformation
The Galilee Foundation’s ministry extends beyond words—meeting physical needs as a tangible demonstration of Christ’s love. In three villages suffering from contaminated water, the team, with the help of Compel International, installed clean water boreholes. These projects not only alleviated waterborne illnesses but also opened doors for Gospel conversations.
“For them to truly know that Jesus loves them, we had to show and give them the practical Jesus love first, and that was exactly what we did.”
—Brother Jimmy
These communities now have access to both clean water and the Living Water, with many coming to faith in Christ.
In addition:
Small seed projects enabled families in four villages to grow food and develop sustainability.
18 tons of clothing were distributed to the needy, fulfilling Christ’s words in Matthew 25:36: “I needed clothes and you clothed me.”
Raising Future Leaders
The ministry is also focused on building the Church’s future in North Macedonia. Twenty young men and women are now preparing for leadership roles, and four of them have sensed a call to pastoral ministry. These emerging leaders represent the next wave of Gospel workers in a country hungry for spiritual renewal.
Looking Ahead
As the Galilee Foundation looks to 2025, their mission is clear: to bring the Good News to even more communities and see 1,000 lives transformed by the love of Christ.
Through their partnership with Compel International, the Galilee Foundation is delivering both clean water and the Living Water that changes lives for eternity—building a legacy of faith and hope in North Macedonia, one soul at a time.
