Missions Minute - Dave and Jen Cox (May 14, 2026)

Dave and Jen Cox continue to provide care, encouragement, and support to missionaries serving across North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Over the past month, they traveled to Bucharest, North Africa, and the Middle East, where they connected with 19 missionaries serving on three different teams.

The North Africa team is currently in a season of growth, with new members continuing to join even now. As the Coxes spent time with them, they heard honest stories about the challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, building relationships with teammates, and settling into unfamiliar homes. Yet alongside the difficulties, there were also encouraging signs of progress, perseverance, and hope.

In the Middle East, the team is more established, though they too are preparing to welcome additional staff members soon. During their visit, Dave and Jen experienced firsthand some of the pressures these missionaries face daily, including air raid sirens sounding multiple times throughout the day. They were grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside the team, listen, and help process the unique stresses of ministry in such a difficult environment.

The Bucharest team serves at Bucharest Christian Academy, where the Coxes were able to spend meaningful time hearing stories of how God is working in and through their lives and ministry.

Please continue to pray for The Coxes and the missionaries they support as they faithfully and sacrificially share the hope of Jesus in spiritually dark and challenging places.
