Again this year as in previous years of war and disruption young people are responding to the call of God to give their lives to serve others and bring the life-giving gospel to those devastated by war. Twelve people have responded and are now in the process of raising support. 

My eightieth birthday comes at the end of this month. That is a milestone worth celebraing. God has granted health and given grace to follow Him ever since that day in March of 1965 when I chose to trust Christ for true and eternal life. Nothing has been the same since, and few things have been as expected, but the journey has been fulfilling. In honor of my birthday and what God has done in and through us, we would like to make a major contribution of at least $500 for each of these new staff to help launch them on a path that prayerfully will be fruitful in the service of Christ. Would you be willing to help us reach our goal and beyond? At least everything that is sent in in addition to regular gifts we will donate to this project.
