A Note from Don Lough, Jr. At Word of Life, we are dedicated to reaching young people around the world with the truth of God’s Word. In over 80 countries, we are seeing God use this ministry to help youth and families begin a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in their walk with Him. We are blessed to hear countless reports of lives transformed through Word of Life, and we want to give you the opportunity to read these stories as well. For this reason, we are merging the content of our Lifeline magazine with The Expe- rience to create an expanded publication for our alumni family as well as other dear friends of the ministry. As you read The Word of Life Experience, I hope your heart is encouraged to hear how God is changing lives throughout the globe!
