About us

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to God Reports! In the psalms, David writes:

“Proclaim among the nations what He has done.”

On the God Reports website, we exalt His name throughout the world. In 2022, there were more than a million views of our stories from over 200 countries.

God Reports supports and encourages Christian missions by sharing stories and testimonies from the mission field — in written and video form, along with stories of general interest and concern to our audience.

We love stories that describe the powerful ways God is at work throughout the world, in many ways a continuation of the book of Acts!
