May God's Word this week give you & your family... Bread for the Journey! God's Word is so critical to the Christian life, it's possible to sometimes overlook our need! It's like breathing, which we don't even notice until we're not able to breathe normally. This past week we got to see the importance of God's Word in living color. Our faithful supporters have kept us discipling young people in Romania for almost six years now (in August), some of whom are now discipling people in ministries of their own – just look at what your giving makes possible! At a regional youth meeting last weekend, one young man David's been investing in, named Emanuel, was challenging a youth named Laurențiu to read his own Bible. He asked if we could get one from the church on the way home, so we took a detour to give Laur his very first Bible! Make no mistake about it: YOUR generosity makes this possible. We couldn't do anything without you, but Laur is only one of the boys you're helping. Just as David works closely with the boys, so Rebeca does with the girls. She got to spend time talking with Larisa, one of her girls, and her parents at the meeting. They're working through her anxiety with her but not sure what to do to help her. What a great time to share with this beautiful family what the Bible has to say about anxious thoughts and casting our concerns on the Lord! We pray for the healing and salvation of this family and their daughter, and can't thank you enough for all you do to make it possible. You have allowed us to serve real people with real needs. We can all sympathize with feeling anxious, can't we? When God multiplies your generosity, we all get to watch lives change! I hope you stick around to hear more about the people being impacted by your love for them. It's such an honor to serve alongside you, and we pray even more of you will come to support the life change the gospel is bringing to wonderful people like these! Your gift of $7 a month puts Bibles and needed school materials in the hands of youth like Laur who need them. Only $14 a month allows young ladies like Larisa to see the love of Jesus through discipleship and dinners, where we share life together. Here’s a recap of March and a look ahead:
