An Iraqi refugee who arrived at a local ministry’s center with her 10-year-old daughter learned the gospel from one of the leaders and put her faith in Christ and, as she was illiterate, the director gave her an audio Bible. Her Muslim husband did not object to her new faith, and in discipleship she has eagerly grown closer to the Lord. Workers providing food, baby formula, clothing and other aid to traumatized families arriving from countries of conflict have multiple opportunities to share the gospel. They need donations of $35 or $70 to provide aid, advice and other services, along with the message of eternal life. Pray the Lord will work powerfully through local missionaries.
“Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.” (Romans 5:18)
