https://www.ziegsonamission.com/ We have updated our website! We would love to hear your thoughts. The number that keeps us up at night is absolutely true and is what propels us to continue to raise up, train, and send workers who will reach the people the gospel never has. Your thoughts-is this the first time you have seen this number?

Jeremy will be spending the week in central Illinois this week meeting with people, casting vision for this current season of ministry and inviting many more into partnership in the Gospel through our ministry. Over the next five years we will be laboring to see 300 more missionaries mobilized, equipped, and sent to the unreached, but we can’t do it alone, nor are we called to. Join us in praying for new partnerships and reaching our next ministry financial goal of $2,000/month in new partnerships.

Praise! The power of prayer walking. This came from one of the couples Jeremy and I are working with. Witchcraft is on the rise all over Louisville and really infiltrating businesses. “ We were informed by an individual we know that a business had employees that were involved in daily activities of tarot cards, crystals, and other forms of what I would call witchcraft. These people would also go to another location labeled for its mystical powers. This individual was constantly asked to partake in such activities, but would not. We immediately started prayer walking the town. Other activity in this town included Free Masons, Eastern Star, Rock stores, and book stores that were questionable. We started praying specifically for a young lady within the group who was not completely bought in with the others, (I’ll call her Jill), and God was answering prayers. After church one Sunday, our individual who shared the story with us, was with us in another county eating at a restaurant when Jill showed up out of no where. Introductions were made and after Jill left, we were all reaffirmed that the Lord was working. After weeks of prayer walking, and with specific prayers to break up this group, all 4 ladies no longer work at that business. Jill is working for an another company sympathetic to Christian values and still has a relationship with our individual."

Growing in community means letting God shape us through the people around us. There is something powerful about learning to live out what God is teaching us together. Not just gathering for knowledge, but helping one another take simple steps of obedience, share with others, and make disciples who make disciples. How might God want to use the relationships already around you to grow your faith and help others grow too?

The S.O.A.P.S. method is powerful because it moves us beyond simply reading the Bible to actually engaging with it, listening to the Holy Spirit, applying truth to our lives, and sharing it with others. It helps slow us down, notice what God is saying, respond in prayer, and live in obedience to His Word.

Last weekend was such an encouragement. Our dear friend from Bloomington/Normal came down to be a part of what God is doing through our house church and team here in Louisville. They stopped by Team Expansion to grab a few things and of course I had to make sure they left “merched out.” 😊 Our greatest joy is training, coaching, and mobilizing people to live on mission wherever God has placed them. Jeremy spent time training on 3 Circles, and immediately after Nissy and the kids went out praying for people and sharing the Gospel. Honestly, one of the most beautiful thing for me was seeing an entire family step into it together. This is the heart behind what we do: everyday believers, whole families included, learning to pray boldly, love people well, and make disciples right where they are!

A simple but powerful moment this week. We’re praying and asking the Lord to open doors as we work toward starting a gathering in our apartment complex, a place to simply be the Church, house to house, right where God has placed us. Please pray for “D.” Pray that the Holy Spirit would continue drawing him close, revealing the love and truth of Jesus, and surrounding him with peace, freedom, and hope. Pray that our apartment complex would become a place marked by prayer, community, healing, and the presence of God. We praise God for every conversation, every open door, and every reminder that He is already at work in the people around us. One prayer, one relationship, one step of obedience at a time.

There’s something sobering about seeing this evil and wickedness being openly celebrated in the middle of a family parade. This was yesterday in Louisville. Witches, Horror, Darkness dressed up as entertainment. A reminder that evil rarely hides anymore, it normalizes itself, jokes about itself, and asks to be celebrated. In fact, one of these parade participant ran up to a child to scare him. The child was so scared the family had to immediately leave due to the trauma the child faced. There is a real spiritual battle, and what once stayed in the shadows now walks openly in the streets. There are numerous stories just like this where witchcraft and wickedness is practiced all over Louisville, this includes in businesses! Join us in praying for our team, our house church, and the believers the Lord has connected us with. In a world where darkness is becoming louder and more normalized, may we not become fearful, distracted, numb, or silent. Pray that we would stay grounded in God’s Word, sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and faithful to walk in obedience to Jesus. May we not curse the darkness, but shine so brightly with the love, truth, holiness, and power of Christ that people trapped in deception encounter the freedom and light only Jesus can bring.

Are we primarily teaching people what Jesus commanded, or are we teaching them how to obey what He commanded? Read the full article here: /blog/the-difference-between-knowing-and-obeying

Please pray with us🙏

A new newsletter is available for Mission Hub members and partners. Read full newsletter → /newsletters/april-2026

One of the tools we use in our disciple making trainings is an Oikos map. This is a simple way to prayerfully think through the relationship networks God has already placed around us. "Oikos" means household or relational circle, and it helps us intentionally pray for friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and others in our everyday lives. We often pair these maps with this sets of scripture based prayer guide during trainings and prayer times. Each blank becomes the name of someone God has placed in our hearts as we ask Him to draw people to Himself, soften hearts, remove blindness, and give us courage to share the hope of Christ. Jeremy and I wanted to share a small piece of what we practice ourselves and we hope it encourages and equips you too. Our hope is that it becomes a gift and a tool for you as you pray boldly for the people around you.

You need to make a trip down just to sit in this space with these guys!

7 more disciples trained!

Over the past several years, we’ve become increasingly aware of how difficult it has become to stay meaningfully connected in today’s digital world. Social media platforms are noisy. Algorithms decide what people see. Important updates get buried beneath endless content, distractions, and information fatigue. Even newsletters can begin to feel like just another email competing for attention. At the same time, we’ve realized something important: Healthy ministry partnership was never meant to be built primarily through broadcasting information. It grows through relationship, shared vision, prayer, participation, and ongoing connection around what God is doing. That’s why we created this community. Our hope is that this becomes more than a place to simply post updates. We want it to become a more intentional environment where people can: follow along with the mission, hear stories from the journey, pray intentionally, ask questions, celebrate what God is doing, and discover meaningful ways to participate. We believe missions should not feel distant or disconnected. We want people who care about the ministry to genuinely feel connected to the work, the vision, and ultimately to what God is doing among the nations. As we continue moving forward in disciple-making, church multiplication, leadership development, and mobilization, we’re excited to invite others into the journey with us in a more relational and interactive way. Thank you for being here and walking alongside us. We’re excited to see what God does through this community in the days ahead. — Jeremy & Lindsay

As we prepared to return to Louisville to serve from the home office with Team Expansion, our original plan was to continue partially supporting our financial needs through outside work. Jeremy planned to continue handyman work on the side, and Lindsay intended to pick up PRN nursing shifts. Together, those additional jobs would have covered nearly half of our monthly financial need. But since arriving here, the Lord has filled our plates with ministry opportunities and responsibilities in ways we did not anticipate. More and more, we are sensing His clear direction to place our hands fully to the plow of ministry and not look back. We believe God is calling us to fully devote ourselves to the work of mobilizing, equipping, and sending laborers into the harvest — particularly toward the unreached peoples of the world. Would you join us in praying specifically between now and the end of August for God’s provision and guidance? Please pray: - That the Lord would raise up new ministry partners. -That existing support would increase where God leads. - That He would provide an additional **$4,000 per month** in recurring financial support. - That we would be able to remain fully committed to the mission He has placed before us without being divided by outside work responsibilities. Our prayer is that through this provision, we would be able to continue pouring ourselves fully into the vision God has given us: to see 300 more laborers mobilized, equipped, and sent to help bring the gospel to the unreached over the next 5 years. Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We truly believe this mission belongs not just to us, but to the entire body of Christ as we labor together for the sake of the nations.

We’re really glad you’re here. Mission Hub was created as a more intentional space for people who want to follow along with what God is doing through our ministry, pray with us, hear stories from the journey, and discover meaningful ways to participate in the mission. In a world full of noisy social feeds, endless algorithms, and constant information overload, we wanted to create something simpler and more relational — a place where people who care about the mission can stay connected in a more meaningful way. Here you’ll find: • Prayer requests and answered prayers • Ministry stories and updates • Insights from disciple-making and missions • Opportunities to participate and engage • Vision for what God is doing among the nations More than anything, we hope this becomes more than just a place to receive updates. We hope it becomes a genuine mission family centered around prayer, encouragement, discipleship, and the Great Commission. We’d love for this to be interactive, so feel free to: • React to posts • Leave comments • Ask questions • Share encouragement • Pray with us Whether you’ve known us for years or are just beginning to follow along, thank you for being here.
