I’m Jillyan MacMorris based in Southern California with Novo’s reFocusing team!
Thank you to everyone for your support this year. Your partnership makes it possible for Novo to look after the nitty-gritty details of missionary life so that field staff like me can focus on ministry, energized and committed to growing the kingdom of God.
Your support also helped my team to mobilize men and women to spread Jesus’ fame in their neighborhoods and networks. For example, this year, we engaged 1,600 people through our in-depth training events to invite them into a risky life, embracing God’s calling for them, and taking the very Good News of Jesus Christ to their streets and cities. Next year we plan to host several launch events to invite even more!
Just this fall, we launched a ten-week cohort experience, designed to help believers, including me, to carry the presence of Jesus into our spheres of influence. Participants are learning how to live "on mission" and being equipped to carry Christ’s presence in transformative and sustainable ways. It’s a launchpoint for missions teams from local churches to their communities! As a result, people are hearing—and responding to—the Gospel in some of the most unlikely places!
Thank you for standing with us this year. May God pour out His richest blessings on you as you celebrate new life this Christmas season and New Year!

Novo works to launch and multiply gospel movements and to mobilize the church to do the same. In this process, we equip and release “Good News Agents” who work for transformation in their communities, cities, and nations to reflect the presence of Jesus.
The impact of this work around the world is possible because of the support systems and structures that grant them the ability to focus on their ministry. And all of these things are possible because of the faithful financial support of our ministry partners.
This “mission support” comes in a variety of forms—ministry tools and training, spiritual and emotional care, new staff and teams, communications, partner development, and all the other essential support systems that make ministry possible, no matter where in the world our 560 staff are sent.
Your year-end gifts are an important part of how we keep our staff healthy and effective in their ministry. Would you prayerfully consider becoming a partner in this work?
