A SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU! knowing what the next five steps are.’” A few weeks (and a lot of prayer) later, Jordan took a huge leap of faith and applied to the Bible Institute. From that moment on, Jordan’s plans have been surrendered to God. “I knew God wanted me to draw closer to Him. And I couldn’t think of a better way than by coming to a place with no distractions, where the (main) focus is studying Scripture, surrounded by people headed in the same direction.” But applying and getting accepted to the Bible Institute was only the first step in Jordan’s walk of faith. Without a car, he didn’t have any idea how he would get there, and without any extra money, he didn’t have any idea how he could pay for it. “God just kept making it clear – ‘Trust me. I’m leading you here. I will provide.’” And provide, He did! Just two days before he had to leave for the Bible Institute, a friend called Jordan to tell him they would be blessing him with a car! And when his tuition payment came due a few weeks
later, he received a text message that another person wanted to give him $2,000 toward his school bill! “All I have to know is that He is in control. Apart from Him I can do nothing, but, with Him, I can do all things…. What I’m learning now at the Bible Institute will be an incredible springboard into any area of life I go into, whether that is ministry or career.” As he continues to learn and grow, Jordan is living in the blessing of walking in obedience. Though the Lord has drastically changed his plans, Jordan knows surrendering his plans to God and taking this step of faith has led him exactly where he needs to be. Today Jordan is finishing up his training at Word of Life and is preparing to enter ministry to share the Gospel with thousands of people who have never experienced Christ’s true love before. What an impact his life will have! But there are still many other students just like Jordan who need someone to invest in their lives and to encourage them to walk in obedience. You can be that miracle for a needy student! Your gift today not only helps students receive the ministry training they need, but it also sets them up for a future of reaching people all around the world with the eternal hope of the Lord!
