Pray that hardened hearts will learn to forgive. A man attended a local ministry’s vocational training program to learn barbering, and during his time there, he confessed to the missionaries that he could not forgive several people from his past who hurt him. When his time in the program ended, he returned to his village not only prepared to support himself financially, but also ready to forgive others. “Thank you for this miracle of forgiveness,” his mother said when she later spoke to the missionaries. “He returned here a different person. You succeeded in changing and helping him.” Donations support such community engagement as a bridge for the gospel.

“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
