"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow" Heard that song recently on BBN... What an encouragement for us in these trying times. We know He lives so why are we afraid, timid or cowering in the dark? May this Missions Minute be that encouragement as well and reassurance that we can "work on"
This writing will be relatively brief this month as my bad habit of procrastinating almost won as I let my deadline creep up. So let's roll.....
3. John Sircar (Bangladesh): John never slows down.He and his staff handed out Christian literature at the local market to the heavy populated Muslim locals. He requests prayers for open receptive hearts.
4. Ed Hoagland (Mexico): Here is another man and family that NEVER stops!This info is a little old... mid-November... but we can still rejoice in the salvation of some ladies. They received Jesus at one of the feeding centers run by Ed's church.
5. Speaking of feeding centers... the Winston-Salem Rescue Mission continues to minister to men in the region. I recently had the honor of being there briefly and went away seeing first hand other Christians working to help others. Let me or Gregg Smith know if you can help with some items for them.
We are quickly approaching the end of winter. However, we are not to slow down or quit... for He hath said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5b Knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus is always, always, always with us, how can we stop? Despite Covid, ice storms and power outages let us always give all the glory to God!!
