A Note from Don Lough, Jr. In Philippians 1:6, we are reminded that “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” What a comfort to know that God is still at work – in hearts, in families, and in ministries around the world. At Word of Life, we continue to see how the Lord uses faithful prayer, generous partnerships, and willing service to transform lives. Through camps, youth ministries, Bible Institutes, and global outreach, young people are hearing the gospel, growing in God’s Word, and taking their next steps with Jesus. In this issue of The Word of Life Experience , you’ll find stories that reflect that same work – God moving through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. My prayer is that you are encouraged to stay the course and reminded of the joy that comes when we serve together for the sake of the gospel.
