TAN Mission Report December 2025 – End of the Year Report

2025 was a very exiting year for our family with the biggest event being the addition of a new member – August Christopher Shirley, born to our middle son Christopher and his wife Megan on April 30. Unfortunately, Grandma and Grampa were not present for the momentous event because we were ministering in Florida at the time. His due date was on the day that we flew out, and we were hoping that he would arrive before our flight; however, he came a few days late, making us wait to welcome him into the family until after our return.

Other exciting news this year included the dedication of the new addition to the Bible college in Nepal (January), a pastors’ conference in the Dominican Republic (February), the grand opening of the clinic in Liberia (April), a pastors’ conference in Sri Lanka (June), the leadership conference in Nigeria (September), outreach among tribal groups in the Philippines (October) and two leadership conferences in Honduras (November). Other special projects this year included opening of fifty-church-based libraries in India and Nepal, earthquake relief in Myanmar, and purchasing of five camels for evangelists in a Muslim-majority country in the Saraha Desert region who had to give up their ministries on motorcycles due to a shoot-on-sight order prohibiting motorcycles due to terrorism activity in the region. Full reports of all these missions are available at our website (www.teachallnationsmission.com). Simply click the “Mission Reports” link and select the country that you’d like to read about. We would like to share a few follow up details concerning the clinic in Liberia that do not appear in the report that was posted after the grand opening. I addition to the regular operation, the clinic has hosted a couple medical outreaches with guest doctors from the hospital in the capital and volunteers from the US. Altogether, 6,876 patients have been checked, treated, and given medications, including those who came seeking assistance even before the facility officially opened this April.
